Calatrava ref. 3410 – one of the most appreciated vintage watches by Patek Philippe. This reference was quite a large watch for the time, but it is the perfect size for today’s standards. Furthermore, the thin bezel makes the watch look even bigger than it is in desription.

With rare and bautiful Patek Philippe leather box and Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in rose gold, in 1960 and its subsequent sale on November, 1960.

Calatrava name was first adopted by the company Patek Philippe from the historical Spanish religious-military grouping created in the city of Calatrava (Nuova Castiglia) in 1158. It has become synonymous with the production of watches for gentleman. Transparent and simple design was immediately appreciated by lovers of high-end timepieces, and that is why it is produced still today in various forms. Although the sizes of 35 mm are often called “oversize,” because thanks to its design it seems much larger.

First Patek Philippe Calatrava was reated in 1932, it is the result of an avant-garde philosophy of aesthetics that showcases sleek lines and subtle elegance; the collection expresses artistic ingenuity at its very finest. The endearing quality of the design reflects the relentless pursuit of perfection that has always been at the core of Patek Philippe’s mission. These inimitably elegant ladies’ and men’s watches are impervious to short-lived trends, recapturing the hearts of each new generation. Whether extra thin, with hobnail patterns or wide polished bezels, they are all unmistakable members of the Calatrava family and even their changing faces cannot belie their origins. No other watch lends better expression to the true Patek Philippe style.

The sizes of 35 mm are often called “oversized” because thanks to its design it seems much larger.

We believe that these early references are fathers of all Calatrava more or less complicated.
