圖錄文章
Reference 570, nicknamed "Calatravone" (Italian for large Calatrava), has been a favorite amongst collectors thanks to its large case, flat bezel and vivid modernist design.

Introduced in 1938, the iconic reference 570, which is a larger version of Patek Philippe’s reference 96, was manufactured with both subsidiary and center seconds configurations in stainless steel, yellow, white and pink gold, and platinum cases. The present example from the first series houses the caliber 12’’’120, whilst the second series used the caliber 12’’’400, and the last series used an antimagnetic movement - the caliber 27 AM 400.

The present lot is most certainly one of the most charismatic and best preserved examples of a pink gold reference 570 we have seen. The case is most probably unpolished as attested by the crisp gold hallmark on the case flank, and the applied hour markers have developed a theatrical oxidation which depending on the light go from purple to blue. Most importantly, the pink dial is described by the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives as being "silvered rose".
