Calatrava Ref.5120J Clous de Paris Yellow Gold Dress Watch

In fact…

The Calatrava was born in 1932, a significant year for the brand with major developments such as introducing the first in-house manual-winding movement and the Stern brothers coming into the helm of the maison. 89 years in and still going strong, the Calatrava has been the iconic representation of Patek Philippe’s leadership in technology, craftsmanship and design.

The Reference 5120 was produced between 2001 and 2017 with the distinctive Clous de Paris (hobnail-finishing) bezel that pays tribute to a long lineage of Calatravas with Clous de Paris bezel. A Calatrava with Clous de Paris bezel has become the definitive image and best representation of the Calatrava, since the first appeared in 1932 with the Reference 96D, with ‘D’ meaning Decor.

The Reference 5120 also pays tribute to vintage features by reducing the modern Calatrava’s size to 35mm, making it the smallest modern-day Calatrava and in our opinion, a Calatrava goes well with any lady’s wrist, anytime. The Reference 5120 is an award-winning piece as much as how rewarding it is to own one. Patek Philippe won the Geneva Hallmark at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève for the Calatrava Reference 5120 in November, 2001.
