Patek Philippe Calatrava 5565A-001 Geneva Boutique Limited Edition Stainless Steel
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. Defining the entire market niche in 1932 when it debuted, the Calatrava has become the foundation of Patek Philippe’s elegant offerings, with the collection growing to include a multitude of references of various designs across a variety of dials, materials, complications and more – which the example we present here proves, the Patek Philippe Calatrava Geneva Boutique Edition ref. 5565A. Launched in 2006 to commemorate the opening of their then-new Geneva boutique, as referenced by its commemorative caseback, the ref. 5565A debuted as a collection of only 300 pieces, which make it a spectacularly rare and desirable timepiece on its own. However, to add fuel to the fire, the ref. 5565A is also historically rare given its status as a stainless steel Calatrava variant, something Patek seldomly releases. Boasting a white dial with blackened gold applied Arabic numerals, applied indices and hands, the ref. 5565A’s under-the-radar display still showcases Patek’s careful artisanal craftsmanship perfectly.
