  • Catalogue Essay

    Introduced in Baselworld 2000, the Calatrava model ref. 5115 features a classic manually wound caliber from the 1970’s. Executed with traditional craftsmanship, the white enamel dial features black painted Roman numerals giving the watch a classic and elegant appeal. Furthermore, an iconic feature for the particular reference is the “Clous de Paris” style hobnail bezel, giving the classic watch a subdued hint of flare. The reference was only manufactured in 18K yellow gold, pink gold and white gold.

    The present example is presented in excellent overall condition with very minimal signs of use and wear. It is further charmed by the original Certificate of Origin and its original fitted presentation box.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. 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. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. 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.
