  • Catalogue Essay

    Introduced in 2009, the Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 5153 encased in a 38mm diameter officer’s-style case with a hinged caseback offered collectors a true taste of heritage with a modern twist. Initially launched in yellow gold with a white dial, a white gold version was launched in the following year featuring a black guilloche dial. Equipped with the firm’s iconic self-winding cal. 324 SC, the movement is wonderfully reveled once the caseback is opened.

    The present example Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 5153G-001 from circa 2014 features a Tiffany & Co. stamp on the dial as it was retailed through the Tiffany & Co. boutique in San Francisco. Offered in excellent overall condition and complete with its full set of accessories, the recent rise in demand for Tiffany stamped watches are on an all time high. Perfect daily wristwatch for the boardroom or any important events.
