Notes
Property of the original Spanish family
Consigned by the family of the original buyer, this Calatrava impresses by its overall state of conservation. The pink gold case shows only slights signs of polish and the crisp deep hallmark is clearly visible on the side of the case. Combined with its original black dial (some signs of wear and loss of lacquer) and its original certificate, it is rarely found in this condition. The original certificate of origin states that the dial was silver but upon further research at Patek Philippe, the extract from the archives made in July 2020, confirms the black dial.
