Lot 423

Patek Philippe & Co, Genève, "Calatrava", Movement No. 708529, Case No. 310635, Ref. 570, Cal. 27SC, 35 mm, circa 1940
An elegant vintage Geneva wristwatch in an 18k white gold case
Case: 18k white gold, push back, 18k white gold PPC buckle. Dial: silvered.
This timepiece is in excellent original condition: Neither the case nor the silvered dial were ever restored. The dial shows a gentle patina and has applied white gold indexes. The alpha hands have an elegant shape and their colour matches the dial and the case perfectly - a handsome classic piece that is certainly second to none.
Reference 570 is more or less an oversize variation of the first Calatrava model, the legendary reference 96. Apart from size, the two models are very much alike; however, due to its remarkable size, this timekeeper is certainly a vintage piece with an unusually modern appeal.
