Throughout its history, the Calatrava dress watch has undergone subtle refinements, yet its timeless Bauhaus aesthetic remains instantly recognizable. Its deep-rooted legacy, having commenced with designer David Penney, offers vintage collectors an array of options, from different case materials and dimensions to the smallest design nuances that captivate true enthusiasts. The present Patek Philippe, reference 3591-2, features an elegant 33 mm yellow-gold case, matched by a seamless mesh bracelet. Impeccably sophisticated and tasteful, the dial showcases oversized Roman numerals and a lack of motif finish, giving it a very clean and understated look. The short Patek Philippe signature is further accompanied by an additional Tiffany & Co. co-signature at six o’clock. The case is preserved in excellent overall condition, with visible and deep case back and case band hallmarks. Overall, the present timepiece perfectly embodies Patek Philippe’s signature philosophy, with subtle sophistication and meticulous craftsmanship. It is a masterclass in restraint, offering exactly what matters most and nothing unnecessary.
