Patek Philippe Calatrava 18K Yellow Gold 33MM

More about Calatrava 18K Yellow Gold 33MM

This is an 18K yellow gold Patek Philippe Calatrava 3919J. The Calatrava line was first introduced in 1932; they were considered the flagship timepieces of the brand. The general design philosophy was based on the German Bauhaus movement in fine art that appeared in the early 1900's; Bauhaus translates as "school of building," and a refreshing, anti-ornamental, functional simplicity was the result. The Calatrava line is still one of the more elegant Patek families of watches. This watch was introduced in 1985 and was replaced by a slightly larger version in 2006 to assuage the growing demand for larger cases. The distinctive double rows of "hobnails" surrounding the bezel are reminiscent of the edge of a fine coin. The dial is white faux-enamel with oxidized black gold feuille hands and roman numerals. A seconds subdial is at 6 o'clock. The case is two-piece construction and the sides are brushed while the lugs and bezel are highly polished. A tiny gold crown on a split stem is signed with the Calatrava cross. The Caliber 215 PS movement is manually wound with a 44-hour power reserve, and a Gyromax balance adjusted for cold, heat, isochronism and 5 positions. With 18 jewels and 130 parts it oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The leather strap has an I8K yellow gold pin buckle and the case has the Geneva seal; the case, movement and dial are signed. It was also produced in white and rose gold, and it's water resistant to 25m.
