{"product_id":"patek-philippe-calatrava-as11868","title":"Patek Philippe Calatrava","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst presented in 1932 with the Reference 96, the Patek Philippe Calatrava is the benchmark for classic men’s dress watches. The groundbreaking reference set the stage for nearly every piece Patek has released since, and became the blueprint for other brands’ approaches to classy men’s timepieces. Heavily influenced by the Bauhaus design philosophy, the Calatrava was then considered extremely modern with its minimalist, ‘less is more’ approach to watch design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the years since 1932, Patek has released dozens of Calatrava references, each with its own idiosyncrasies. Almost all share the underlying DNA of the 96, prioritizing subtle elegance above all else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular Calatrava is somewhat unique among the collections. Reference 544, produced from 1940 to 1944, features a fascinating hooded lug system whereby the strap integrates directly into the case. Measuring 33 x 36mm, the 544 is a beautiful re-imagination of the Calatrava design language in a compelling manually wounded, historically salient piece. Its beautiful construction features a two-tone color scheme with stainless steel midcase and gold cap bezel. It's truly unlike anything else commercially available in the market or made since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you love Patek design language and are looking for something you aren't likely to see on anyone else's wrist, this is the piece for you. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42719327780951,"sku":"40930973","price":15950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS11868_40930973_PATEKPHILIPPE_CALATRAVA_HOODEDLUGS__544--6.jpg?v=1776954812","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/patek-philippe-calatrava-as11868","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
