    WHY WE LOVE IT

    Patek Philippe has long been known for its complicated watchmaking, but following the stock market crash of 1929, fewer clients had the means to purchase these high-end timepieces. After securing a controlling interest in the firm, Jean and Charles Henri Stern decided to enlist the help of an English designer named David Penney to create a simple watch that would come in at a lower price point and appeal to the firm's clientele. Using the principles espoused by the Bauhaus school and its minimalist, function-first philosophy, Penney conceived the Calatrava, taking its name from the Spanish military order established in the 12th century which had become the symbol of Patek Philippe. Since its debut in 1932, the Calatrava has become a byword for a simple, time-only dress watch even from brands other than Patek itself. This particular Calatrava, however, has a little something extra its dial is signed with a Tiffany stamp, meaning it was retailed by one of the most famous jewelers in the world. Housed in a 38mm 18K yellow gold officer's case, it features a sapphire crystal, an unsigned onion crown, and a polished bezel. It has a white guilloch dial with applied dart indices and a matching dauphine? handset, and that little "Tiffany & Co." stamp at the 6:00 position. Its hunter case back flips open to reveal the automatic Patek Philippe 324 S C movement ticking away within, while it's paired to a brown alligator strap with a signed deployant clasp. In excellent condition, this is a serious heavy hitter of a Calatrava with provenance tied to New York and America's most beloved jeweler. It's a rare opportunity to own an important piece, to say the least!

    OVERALL CONDITION The case is in outstanding condition overall showing only faint signs of wear from gentle use. White 'guilloche' dial with applied 'dart' indices is in equally outstanding, as-new condition with matching dauphine handset. 18K Signed crown. 18k yellow gold 'officers' hinged caseback.
