This listing is for an iconic and exceptionally elegant Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 5227R-001. This watch represents the purest expression of the dress watch, crafted with the utmost attention to detail and finishing that defines the Patek Philippe name.

Key Specifications & Condition:

• Model: Calatrava Ref. 5227R-001.

• Case Material: 18k rose gold (39mm diameter, 9.24mm thickness), featuring the celebrated, discreet “Officer-style” hinged caseback. This unique design element allows the owner to reveal the movement through a solid, snap-shut back or open the hinged door to admire the finished calibre.

• Dial: Classic ivory lacquer with a stunning grained texture, applied gold baton hour markers, and elegant leaf-style hands. The dial offers perfect legibility and warmth, complementing the rose gold case beautifully.

• Movement: Superb self-winding Calibre 324 S C, visible through the sapphire crystal set into the hinged caseback. The movement is finely decorated with Geneva striping, chamfered edges, and a 21k gold central rotor.

• Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire on both front and back.

• Strap & Clasp: Original dark brown alligator leather strap with the signed 18k rose gold Calatrava cross buckle.
