Description
18K Gold Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 2448. A rare find, and even rarer in this remarkable condition, this Calatrava is a testament to the beauty and simplicity of Patek Philippe’s timeless design language. The case remains sharp and thick, with clear hallmarks and subtle oxidation spots that enhance its vintage appeal. Its distinctive lug design, with unusual angularity, gives this reference its unique character. A personal quote engraved on the case back by Patek Philippe is notably mentioned in the Extract from the Archives, adding historical significance. The dial is in very good condition, with a crisp enamel signature and only minor signs of aging along the outer edge. Powered by the manual-winding Caliber 12.120, the watch is offered on a leather strap with an 18K gold Swiss-signed buckle, and it is accompanied by the Extract from the Archives. A rare and distinctive piece, perfect for the discerning Calatrava collector.
