Patek Philippe Calatrava 37mm Yellow Gold 5196J - 2014
Patek Philippe Calatrava 5196J
The Calatrava line from Patek Philippe is perhaps their most famous, and an absolute contender for one of the most iconic and important dress watches ever produced.
The 5196 series was introduced in 2004, and is simply one of the most beautiful dress watches ever made in our opinion. The proportions are simply perfect, with the 37mm x 8mm yellow gold case featuring a flat bezel, alternating brushed and polished surfaces, and wonderfully elongated lugs with a 21mm lug spacing giving a very strong appearance on the wrist despite it's on-paper specs. It is anything but dainty.
Housed within this magnificent case is a egg shell dial with small seconds at 6, yellow gold hands, hour markers and outer track minute markers. Perfection.
This particular example hails from 2014 and presents in TZ Good condition. The dial is perfect, and the case is in wonderful condition with only some small marks from careful regular wear, and some light scratches on the case back. The lower right side of the case shows some vertical rub marks where it looks as though it has been rubbed with something slightly abrasive, easily fixed next service as it's only on the very surface. There are a couple of very small dings along the bevel lines, and a small nick on the lower right lug area which downgrade it from Excellent to Good on our grading scale. That's a harsh grading though - it is in very nice condition. Please see images for full condition details.
No known service history. All functions operating as they should, and keeping COSC time.
Comes with outer box, inner box, booklet holder, booklets, Certificate of Origin (expired), Patek cleaning cloth, Patek inner box slip cover, Patek short quick release 'gator strap and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
Quite simply one of the finest dress watches of the last 20 years, so don't miss your chance to pick up this wonderful example at a good discount to retail.
