Patek Philippe Calatrava

Patek Philippe is one of the few brands that knows how to execute simple perfection.  Over the years, their dress-line Calatrava has evolved, but the look remains unmistakable and iconic, and its rich history provides the vintage enthusiast with a variety of choices in metals, sizes, and tiny details to obsess over. This particular example, a Reference 5107J, is sized at a sensible 37mm and is a delight for those seeking a refined presence. Now discontinued, the Reference 5107J was produced in solid 18K yellow gold with a stunning opaline dial with a yellow gold dauphine handset and framed date window. Powered by the automatic winding Calibre 315 SC movement visible through the sapphire display back, it truly epitomizes what Patek Philippe is most known for- understated elegance and delicate finishing.   In an era where Patek is making larger watches, it's refreshing to see something more modestly sized to serve collectors with smaller tastes.
