圖錄文章
Also known as “Grande Calatrava” due to its size, the reference 570, was the first large Calatrava model serially produced by the brand. Today it is considered one of the most elegant time-only Patek Philippe references and is one of the most sought-after dress watches from the mid-20th century.

In production between 1938 and 1972, the reference 570 borrows elements of its case design from the reference 96, the original Calatrava, but it is significantly larger in diameter, measuring 36mm. While it was on the market the reference 570 was the largest time-only Patek Philippe wristwatch, the impression of size being further enhanced by the narrow flat bezel enabling a larger view of the dial.

In excellent condition, still retaining a strong and crisp case, and beautiful silver dial, the present example also features the highly sought-after center seconds configuration, powered by the legendary caliber 27SC, which is considered by collectors as the best center seconds caliber of its time. Double stamped with the Geneva seal, the movement is one of the finest when it comes to finishing quality.
