Easily situated amongst the most iconic dress watches ever, the Patek Philippe Calatrava embodies the very essence of what a classically-styled timepiece should look like.

Offered here we have the Calatrava ref. 5127G, which builds upon the Calatrava collection's history as one of Patek Philippe's best-known and best-looking dress watches. Boasting Patek's esteemed design language and launched in 2005 and produced until around 2015, the ref. 5127G features an 18kt white gold case with polished surfaces, a domed bezel and a gorgeous off-white dial that houses white gold dauphine hour hands and applied indices. An exercise in minimalism, as per the Calatrava’s Bauhaus-inspired design language, the Calatrava’s clean aesthetic has been the bedrock of its offering for decades, on which the ref. 5127G builds upon.
THE DIAL Boasting a subtle off-white color for its dial, the ref. 5127G speaks to the Bauhaus-inspired design language that dominates the Calatrava's catalog, with its applied indices and dauphine hands also speaking to the truly classical nature of its aesthetics.
