Read Conditions of Sale
Dubbed as the oldest Patek Philippe model, the Calatrava was introduced in 1932, the same year the Stern family took the reign of Patek Philippe. Over the years, the manufacturer released various Calatrava models with an array of complications, with its most traditional references paying homage to the ref. 96.

In 2005, Patek Philippe introduced the Calatrava ref. 6000, first fitted with a glossy black dial and encased in white gold. Other iterations were launched, featuring various case materials such as pink gold and various dial colours such as grey and brown. The present version is cased in white gold and displays a striking grey dial. Offered in excellent condition, it is also accompanied by its certificate of origin and presentation box.

Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499.

Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
