1995 Calatrava 5032J 18k Gold Automatic

A modern Patek Philippe Calatrava with a distinctly vintage character, this 1995 ref. 5032J pairs a cool silver opaline dial with the warmth of an 18k yellow gold case.

The dial is beautifully executed with fine perlage, raised gold applied markers and matching hands that catch the light with subtle brilliance. At 36mm and only 7mm thick, the case has versatile proportions that feel equally suited to casual and dress wear.

Powered by Patek Philippe’s caliber 240 automatic movement, its 22k gold micro-rotor carries the Calatrava cross, a detail echoed on the signed crown. The watch is fitted with a Patek Philippe black alligator strap and secured by an 18k yellow gold Patek Philippe buckle.

Accompanied by an Extract from the Archives, this is a particularly appealing Calatrava for its combination of slim proportions, textured dial and understated presence.
