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.

Patek Philippe's Calatrava, here in 39mm 18k rose gold, carrying an ivory display.

Fun fact: The Calatrava has been Patek's definition of a round watch since 1932, drawn on Bauhaus lines when the firm was recovering from the crash. The cross on the crown comes from a 12th century Spanish military order.

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.
