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. 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.

Launched in 2005 and produced until 2015, the ref. 5127 with its crown guard and self-winding caliber 324 SC (center seconds) immediately became an attractive addition to the Calatrava collection. With its 37mm case size and sapphire crystal case back, this ref. 5127G from 2010 is perfect for the collector who wants a classic self-winding calatrava with rounded bezel in white metal, a combination that is no longer available in the line today.
