That reason is to explain exactly why the Patek Philippe Calatrava is not just another dress watch. It is one of “the” dress watches whose long history does not need to be repeated by me. Others more knowledgeable about its lifespan are better suited to that. So what’s new about the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5227 .
The Calatrava was first created in 1932 and earned an important spot in the Patek Philippe collection ever since. Their sleek and elegant designs might seem very generic to the untrained eye, but upon closer inspection you will see that it is one of the few dress watches out there that has everything ‘just right’. Perhaps the Calatrava embodies the perfect dress watch, with the date as its only complication.
There is a lot to admire about this simple watch. First off, you'll notice that at 39mm the case is 2mm larger than the last Calatrava releases. While we're definitely fans of keeping dress watches more modestly sized, the 39mm case sits great on the wrist and looks fantastic. The classic dial has a nice gloss to it from the twelve layers of lacquer that go into each one and the lugs have a great sculptural quality to them.
The so-called "Officer's Style" case has a hinged gold dustcover to protect the sapphire caseback. But, as you would expect from Patek Philippe, adding a simple hinge would be too easy and instead Patek spend two years developing their own invisible hinge so as to keep the clean lines of the Calatrava case intact. When you open the case you can see the caliber 324 SC movement, which features both a Gyromax balance wheel and Spiromax balance spring. And the inside of the dust cover itself features a "Patek Philippe" and PP Hallmark engraving, though after the first series is produced, this cover will be left blank for customers to personalize themselves.
The Ref. 5227 Calatrava will sell for $37,300 in both rose and white gold and $35,400 in yellow gold.
