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, however, has a little something extra — its dial is signed with a Tiffany stamp, meaning it was retailed by one of the most famous jewelers in the world. Housed in a 38mm 18K yellow gold “officer’s” case, it features a sapphire crystal, an unsigned onion crown, and a polished bezel. It has a white guilloché dial with applied \u003cem style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003edart\u003c\/em\u003e indices and a matching \u003cem style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ci\u003edauphine\u003c\/i\u003e handset, and that little \u003cem style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\"Tiffany \u0026amp; Co.\"\u003c\/em\u003e stamp at the 6:00 position.
