Catalogue Essay
The present ultra-thin Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 2590 is in incredibly crisp and original condition. The case appears to be unpolished and the dial is exceptional with a beautifully raised hard enamel signature. The watch is still retaining its original Patek Philippe crocodile leather strap and pin buckle. Overall an excellent example of a Patek Philippe Calatrava.
