The Calatrava has been the definition of the round dress watch since 1932, drawn on Bauhaus lines where nothing can be added or removed. It is the watch Patek Philippe means when it says a watch should outlive you.

This Patek Philippe Calatrava Haute Joaillerie wears a 35.8mm 18k white gold case with a blue mother of pearl, diamond markers face. 240 keeps it running.

Fun fact: The Calatrava was drawn in 1932 on Bauhaus lines, when the Stern family had just bought Patek out of the crash. Its plain bezel and clean dial became the template for the dress watch.

The collection

Calatrava

Patek's round dress watch, launched in 1932 with the reference 96

The Calatrava opened in 1932 with the reference 96, a plain round watch that Patek describes as drawn on the Bauhaus principle that function determines the form of an object, and the house dates the line from it. The name comes from the Calatrava cross, the emblem registered as the company trademark in 1887. The look is deliberately quiet: a round case with a slim bezel, applied markers or Breguet numerals, and nothing on the dial competing for attention. The reference 6119 carries the hobnail Clous de Paris pattern guilloched on its bezel, and the reference 5227 hides its sapphire back under a dust cover on an invisible hinge.
