Why We Love it

–

The 'Holy Trinity' of watch brands: Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin.

Perhaps the most celebrated of the three, Patek Philippe has an unrivaled reputation for crafting some of the most complicated — and some of the simplest, yet most beautiful — timekeepers the market has seen.

Sports watches came later to Patek, as pressure from the new 'luxury sports watch' category introduced in the early 1970s forced the storied brand to evolve — but historically, classically-styled dress pieces is where the maison cut its teeth.

This particular timepiece is a ladies' version of the famed Calatrava dress watch. Executed in beautiful yellow gold, it boasts a smooth bezel, a signed winding crown, a smooth bezel, long lugs, and a simple golden dial, minimalist printed indices, and a matching 'pencil' handset. The hallmarks on the case and lugs are so crisp and clean--- a testament to the quality of this example as a truly beautiful piece in sterling condition.

Powered by a Patek Philippe hand-wound movement, it comes paired to a signed leather strap. Oozing with irreplaceable class, it's an ideal wrist companion for someone longing for a bit of midcentury elegance. 

Brand Story

+
Founded in Geneva in 1839, Patek Philippe occupies a rare position in watchmaking: a manufacture whose name has become shorthand for the very highest level of traditional Swiss horology. Its reputation has been built not simply on complication, but on an extraordinary continuity of design, technical innovation, hand-finishing, and craftsmanship. From the elemental elegance of the Calatrava to milestones such as the Reference 1518, the first serially produced perpetual-calendar chronograph wristwatch, Patek Philippe has repeatedly created watches that define their categories rather than participate in them.

Family-owned and independent since the Stern family acquired the company in 1932, Patek has the unusual freedom to think in generations rather than seasons. That independence has produced some wonderfully contrarian decisions, including discontinuing the wildly desirable steel Nautilus Reference 5711 at the height of its popularity. Today, its collection spans restrained dress watches, complicated masterpieces, and contemporary icons such as the Nautilus and Aquanaut, yet a remarkably consistent design language runs through them all.

For many collectors, owning a Patek Philippe represents something close to the summit of the hobby; for others, Patek becomes the hobby itself. Either way, few manufactures combine history, mechanical achievement, design, rarity, and emotion quite so convincingly. And, yes, as the famous campaign has reminded us for decades, ownership is supposedly temporary. You never actually own a Patek Philippe…

Well, you know the rest.
