Reasons to Bid

This incredibly rare Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 1504 in 18K yellow gold is almost impossible to find on the market. This vanished reference was only produced for a few years, between 1941 and 1944. What makes this watch so special, however, is its highly unusual, charismatic dial with the coveted applied Breguet Arabic numerals and with an unusual pair – the “spade and whip hands”, which are classically used in combination with Roman numerals. The reference 1504 is powered by a caliber 12’’’120, a hand-wound beauty designed in typical Patek Philippe fashion with a large S-shaped central bridge, a large balance wheel, a fine adjustment system with a “swan-neck” flat spring and a spiral with a Breguet overcoil, which adds to the technical appeal of this watch.
