圖錄文章
Patek Philippe produced the reference 570 from 1938 until 1972. It was their first large-sized “Calatrava”, and a model that is as modern in the 21st century as it was over 70 years ago. The oversized case, with flat bezel, is sleek and refined, and to many connoisseurs the perfect shape and size. The watch was available in stainless steel, yellow, pink and white gold, as well as platinum.
The present example, with its silver opaline dial and discreet numerals is an ode to sotto voce elegance. The case shows pleasing signs of aging with tones of aubergine and ochre. The first series caliber 12-120 is pure Geneva style and beauty. This well preserved “Calatravone” (Italian for large Calatrava) will appeal to the collector looking for a distinctive vintage timepiece that exemplifies the excellence in design and watchmaking of Patek Philippe.

Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499.
