Patek Philippe Calatrava Double signed – Antimagnetic

Introducing the epitome of elegance in watchmaking – a timepiece that encapsulates all your desires for a dress watch. It’s a fusion of sophistication and functionality, signed not once, but twice for added allure. From the esteemed retailer Hausmann & Co, renowned for curating the finest timepieces, comes this masterpiece.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the 18k yellow gold case exudes warmth and luxury. This impeccable timepiece bears the esteemed insignia of Patek Philippe, synonymous with uncompromising quality and prestige.

In the spirit of the iconic Calatrava series, this watch embodies refined simplicity, enhanced with subtle enhancements. With a modest 33mm size, it strikes the perfect balance between understated elegance and wearability. Drawing inspiration from Bauhaus principles, its minimalist design features a discreet sub-dial for tracking seconds. Patek Philippe ingeniously crafted this iteration as a slightly sportier rendition of the classic Calatrava, catering to modern tastes. The enlarged case diameter of 33mm and a screw-down case back ensure improved water resistance, reflecting the brand’s commitment to both style and functionality.

Though decades have passed since its creation, the timeless beauty of this design remains unparalleled. Equipped with an original 18k yellow gold buckle and the prestigious caliber 27-400am movement, this watch promises not just a glimpse of sophistication, but an enduring legacy of excellence.

In 1932, the year in which brothers Charles and Jean Stern acquired Patek Philippe, the name of the manufacture’s prestigious symbol, the Calatrava cross, was given to a watch collection. The first true ‘family’ of watches Patek Philippe had created, the Calatrava quickly became a classic and is still regarded today as the brand’s most iconic collection.

The design was inspired by the Bauhaus movement, a German school of Arts based on the belief that ‘less is more’ and ‘form follows function’. Since the purpose of a watch is to tell the time, these principles discouraged any embellishments which could detract from the time-telling.

The result was a watch that was at once beautiful and practical. Presented in a round case with a flat bezel and simple dial with baton indices, the art of omission in the debut model Ref. 96, came to characterize the Calatrava’s understated, yet timeless style.

The design has become a template for other brands. A simple, minimalist dress watch with a sub-dial for the seconds at six o’clock, is often referred to as a Calatrava watch, regardless of the brand. So while Patek did it first, it is perfectly reasonable to stumble upon a JLC Calatrava or a Vacheron Constantin Calatrava.
