Patek Philippe Calatrava

About the Calatrava

The Calatrava, one of the most celebrated dress watches in horological history. Introduced in 1932, it was designed during a critical time for Patek Philippe as the company sought to solidify its reputation for producing elegant yet functional timepieces. Known for its minimalist, Bauhaus-inspired design, the Calatrava emphasizes clean lines and simplicity. Initially intended for formal occasions, its timeless versatility has made it a popular choice for daily wear. Available in both men’s and women’s models, the collection features platinum, gold and in-house mechanical movements. Recent additions, such as models with GMT functions and a Ladies Calatrava in gold, highlight the collection's evolution while maintaining its classic charm. In 2023, Patek Philippe introduced five new Calatrava models, including the standout ref. 6007G with bold color accents and the new Calatrava GMT (ref. 5224R). Known for its understated sophistication, the Calatrava has been worn by notable figures such as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Ed Sheeran.
