Patek Philippe 5022J-001 Calatrava 18K Yellow Gold Champagne Dial

Introduced in 1997, the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5022J‑001 is a refined expression of classic dress watch elegance, rendered in a 33 mm 18‑carat yellow gold case with a stepped bezel. Its exquisite champagne guilloché dial, adorned with raised radial Roman numerals in matching yellow gold and black feuille hands, is complemented by a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, offering both symmetry and understated sophistication. Powered by the manually wound Caliber 215 PS—featuring a Gyromax balance, rhodium‑plated bridges with fausses côtes decoration, and approximately 44 hours of power reserve—this movement exemplifies Patek Philippe’s commitment to precision and finishing. With a slim 7 mm profile and elegant proportions, the watch wears with discreet presence yet undeniable refinement. The solid snap caseback preserves the purity of the design while ensuring structural integrity. Though not a limited edition, the 5022J‑001 remains highly regarded among collectors for its exceptional dial work, movement pedigree, and faithful adherence to the Calatrava’s Bauhaus-inspired heritage. It represents a rare opportunity to own a late‑20th‑century Patek Philippe dress watch that balances technical merit with timeless aesthetic appeal. Excellent condition with European Watch Company pouch.
