Patek Philippe 5117G-001 Calatrava 18K White Gold White Dial

This Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 5117G‑001 is a consummate expression of refined elegance and horological restraint. Crafted in 18K white gold, its 37 mm case is framed by the signature hobnail bezel—a hallmark of the Calatrava line since its 1932 debut. The crisp white dial, adorned with hand‑painted black Roman numerals and a discreet date aperture at 3 o’clock, underscores its timeless aesthetic. Within resides the automatic caliber 315/190 SC, a movement celebrated for its reliability, 30 jewels, and approximately 42–48 hour power reserve. The exhibition caseback offers a window into the beautifully finished movement, reinforcing its appeal to collectors who value both form and function. Though not a limited edition, the model’s production span in the early 2000s and its classic proportions make it particularly desirable among dress watch aficionados. The alligator leather strap complements the watch’s refined demeanor, while the white gold pin buckle echoes the case’s luxurious material. In the context of Patek Philippe’s storied heritage, the 5117G‑001 stands as a modern embodiment of the Calatrava’s enduring philosophy: understated, impeccably crafted, and perpetually relevant.
