Catalogue Essay
The well-preserved pink gold case matches the charming pink gold Sigma dial in perfect harmony. Together with the pink gold dauphine hands and pink gold applied baton hour markers on top, a sense of depth is added to layout and the overall design emanates supreme elegance. The present watch is powered by the caliber 215, a successor introduced in 1974 to the calibre 12-120 and a staple movement in the Calatrava collection.
Preserved in outstanding overall condition and complete with its set of accessories, this striking timepiece is a true testament to Patek Philippe's discreet elegance and ageless aesthetics, and would undoubtedly appeal to our lady and gentleman collectors.
