- Given its Art Deco and Bauhaus minimalist design, the Calatrava has remained in the Patek’s oeuvre since 1932, evolving with many modern options available today.
-Released in 2009, the reference 5116G is a classic Calatrava with white grand feu enamel dial and traditional clous de Paris hobnail bezel. Similar in design to the contemporary references 5115 and 5119, the 5116G is housed in a slightly larger 36mm diameter case with extended lugs having a strong architectural appeal. The model was produced in pink and white gold, like the present watch, and remained in production until 2013.
-The present example is offered by the original owner, preserved in excellent condition and complete with its accessories.
