After securing a controlling interest in the firm, Jean and Charles Henri Stern decided to enlist the help of an English designer named David Penney to create a simple watch that would come in at a lower price point and appeal to the firm’s clientele. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUsing the principles espoused by the Bauhaus school and its minimalist, function-first philosophy, Penney conceived the Calatrava, taking its name from the Spanish military order established in the 12th century which had become the symbol of Patek Philippe. Since its debut in 1932, the Calatrava has become a byword for a simple, time-only dress watch — even from brands other than Patek itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular Calatrava from circa the 2000s is housed in a 37mm white gold case with a sapphire crystal, a signed, screw-down crown, an \u003cem\u003eopalin \u003c\/em\u003edial with a applied white gold indices and a matching \u003cem\u003edauphine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e handset, and Patek's Calibre 315 automatic-winding movement beating within - as visible through the sapphire display caseback.
