Patek Philippe Calatrava Watch

Whoever has heard of Patek Philippe and his marvelous collection of watches for both men and women knows that his timepieces have always charmed the lovers of the horology art. The longevity and reliability of these watches is the result of the innovative spirit that has constantly reined the company and its workshops. Thus the main preoccupation of Patek Philippe is to create reliable, high-quality watches no matter how long it takes to control the final product. These watches undergo several tests that last up to one month (depending on the type of movement) and only then are they ready for customers.

Just like any other famous watch-making company, Patek Philippe has certain features. They are responsible for having created the first crown wound pocket watch (1839) and the first wrist watch that the world had ever seen (1868). Moreover, Patek Philippe is the only Geneva manufacturer to receive the Geneva Seal (the highest official quality distinction in the watch-making industry) for its mechanical movements. Also, among the one hundred most expensive watches that have ever been sold at auction, eighty were Patek Philippe.

There are several Patek Philippe lines that are famous around the world but the Calatrava is probably the most popular of all. Round-shaped with an exquisite porcelain white dial and Roman numerals, the Patek Philippe Calatrava Watches come in hand wound, mechanical or quartz movements. The classic shape and the hobnail bezel make this collection simple and elegant. Both men's and women's Calatrava watches are resistant to water (80 feet) and feature an 18-karat gold case and different straps.

Whether you look at the yellow, rose or white gold Calatrava watches, you will find it very difficult to choose. They are all extremely elegant watches, suitable to any special occasion but also on the wrist of a smartly-dressed executive in his or her usual working hours at the office.

The Patek Philippe Calatrava watches are the result of an avant-garde philosophy of aesthetics and the creator's pursuit of perfection, which has given birth to a series of exquisitely designed watches. They are durable timepieces which may be transmitted form generation to generation and still be elegant and up-to-date after many years. With hobnail patterns of wide polished bezels, the Calatrava collection of watches bear the characteristics and style of the remarkable Patek Philippe creations which have enchanted us for decades.

The ladies Calatrava watches are as classy as those for men, smaller and lighter but having the same personality and elegance as their counterparts. The ladies' classic mechanical Calatrava timepiece with Officer Style case and small seconds, available in both white and yellow gold, with a sapphire crystal case back, has a case diameter of 31 mm and is water resistant to 30 meters. Its dial with guilloched silvery center and white mother-of-pearl surround has diamond hour markers and Breguet-style numerals. The alligator strap with large rectangular scales, available in shiny chocolate brown (for the yellow gold watch) and shiny navy blue (for the white gold one) complements the watch and enhances its style and elegance.
