Patek Philippe Calatrava - (Ref. 40930966/AS11852) Product Details

Patek Philippe has long been known for its complicated watchmaking, but following the 1929 stock market crash, fewer clients had the means to purchase these high-end timepieces. After securing a controlling interest in the firm, Jean and Charles Henri Stern enlisted the help of an English designer, David Penney, to create a simple watch that would be priced lower and appeal to the firm’s clientele.

Drawing on the principles espoused by the Bauhaus school and its minimalist, function-first philosophy, Penney conceived the Calatrava, taking its name from the Spanish military orderestablished in the 12th century, which had become the symbol of Patek Philippe. Since its debut in 1932, the Calatrava has become abyword for a simple, time-only dress watch — even from brands other than Patek itself.

This particular Calatrava, a Reference 5196J-001, is housed in a 37mm yellow gold case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a polished bezel. It features a beautiful, white opaline dial with applied indices, a sub seconds register at 6:00, and a matching 'dauphine' handset.
This piece comes fitted to a signed brown alligator leatherstrap with a signed yellow gold pin buckle, and is powered by Patek Philippe's hand-wound Calibre 215 PS movement. The piece also includes the Certificate of Origin from the mid-2010s.
Sure, you could get yourself amodern dress watch that tells the time just fine — and that probably ends up in a drawer after a while.
But a real Calatrava from the world’s greatest watchmaker is forever.
