Catalogue Essay
The Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 5000G was launched in 1992, initially produced as a limited edition of 1000 piece in white gold only until 1994. Boasting a clean profile and sublime simplicity, the dial features a rich black canvas with white Arabic numerals and classic railway track. The reference later released different variants in yellow gold, pink gold with black and white dial, as well as a limited edition of 100 pieces for retailer Hausmann & Co’s 200th anniversary with Breguet numerals. Powering the watch is the calibre 240 with micro-rotor and features an excentre subsidiary dial at 5 o’clock similar to very early Patek Philippe pocket watches. Preserved in excellent condition, the present example from the early production is accompanied by the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming its production in 1992.
