Patek Philippe Mini Calatrava

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. 

Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe is one of the oldest watch manufacturers in the world with an uninterrupted watchmaking history. Few luxury brands in the world carry the gravitas of their name, and for good reason. The firm's commitment to excellence in horological manufacture is unflinching, and their track record of innovation in design without peer. They continue to lead the industry, and even their fiercest competitors have nothing but the utmost respect for the company.

Owning a Patek Philippe is for many the ultimate goal of timepiece collecting, and for a certain type, the only timepieces they collect. Whichever way you look at it, there is no questioning the elegance of design, superlative manufacture of their cases and movements, or the sheer elegance and emotion that comes from owning one.

Of course for a brand that is steeped in heritage, we are told ‘You never actually own a Patek Philippe…”

Well, you know the rest.
