Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 1571

Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 1571 in 18k yellow gold, measuring 35mm and powered by the manual winding caliber 12-120 with small seconds. Produced circa 1945 to 1950, the reference 1571 is immediately distinguished by its exceptional double teardrop lug design, one of the most elegant and sought after case configurations in all of vintage Patek Philippe, combining sculptural beauty with a lightness and refinement that perfectly complements the pure Calatrava dial layout. The dial with applied Roman numerals has developed a gentle and even patina consistent with its age, adding warmth and character to an already deeply attractive presentation. Fitted on a generic strap and buckle. A rare and beautifully preserved example of mid century Patek Philippe at its most refined.
