  • Catalogue Essay

    For the Patek Philippe Grand Exhibition of 2017 in New York City, the vaunted manufacturer released three limited edition ladies’ references: the Calatrava reference 7200/50, the minute-repeating time-only reference 7000/250, and the world-time reference 7130. The Calatrava, released in two different dial treatments of only seventy-five pieces each, was cased in an 18K white gold officer-style case, and featured either a white mother-of-pearl or blue mother-of-pearl diamond-set dial.

    Though mother-of-pearl and diamond indexes are often trite features on women’s wristwatches, in this instance it is a welcome combination. The present example is the blue mother-of-pearl iteration, which perfectly complements the warmth of the white gold case. The texture and hue of this particular iridescent dial are of tremendous quality and beauty – a poignant sky blue color. The watch is perfectly complemented with a sky blue shiny alligator strap. Furthermore, the sapphire caseback features the commemoration of the Grand Exhibition, through which is visible the automatic caliber 240 with micro-rotor.

    Offered in excellent condition with its original Certificate of Origin and presentation box, the reference 7200/50 in 18K white gold is a collectible treasure, perfectly suited for the well-appointed woman or smaller watch enthusiast of any gender.

Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand.
