Patek Philippe is one of the few brands that knows how to execute “simple perfection.”
Over the years, its Calatrava dress watch collection has evolved, but its basic characteristics remain unmistakable and iconic. With a rich history that provides both the vintage- and contemporary-watch enthusiast with a variety of choices in metals, sizes, and tiny details to obsess over, it remains a staple in the horological world.
This particular Calatrava, a Reference 3919G, dates to the 2000s. Housed in a 33mm 18K white gold case with a ‘hobnail’ bezel, a signed crown, and a sapphire crystal, it features a white dial with painted, black ‘Roman’ indices, a matching black ‘feuille’ handset, and a small-seconds indicator above 6 o’clock. Powered by the brand’s manually-wound Calibre 215 movement, it comes paired to a signed, black alligator leather strap with a signed, white gold pin buckle.
This watch epitomizes what Patek Philippe is most known for — understated elegance and delicate finishing. Classic now and forever, it provides the perfect complement to both formalwear as well as more casual attire.
How could one say “no” to such a watch?
