Perhaps the most iconic dress watch collection ever, the Patek Philippe Calatrava embodies the very essence of what a classically-styled timepiece should look like. Creating the entire dress watch niche in 1932 when it was released, the Calatrava has become a mainstay within Patek Philippe’s offerings and perhaps their most emblematic collection. Launched in the late 2000s, the ref. 7119G that we have here is an 18kt white gold timepiece that combines the Calatrava’s vintage sensibilities with modern watchmaking. Measuring a svelte 31mm in diameter, the ref. 7119G's 18kt white gold case is a wonderfully executed reminder of Patek Philippe's craftsmanship with its thin hobnail bezel, slightly down-turned lugs and a small simple crown that all combine into one harmonious design. Boasting a bright white dial that features thin black Roman numerals, thin feuille hands to match and a small subdial at 6 o'clock with a thin chapter ring, the ref. 7119G’s display combines beautiful elegance with thoughtful design. Featuring a sapphire crystal caseback to showcase its well-finished manual-wind cal. 215PS, the ref. 7119G is as stunning from the rear as it is the front.

Effortlessly elegant and truly timeless, the Calatrava collection is unapologetically beautiful, and the ref. 7119G variant is no different.
