Key Vintage Patek Philippe Collections at a Glance

Patek Philippe Calatrava

Launched in 1932, the Philippe Patek Calatrava exemplifies Bauhaus-inspired simplicity and classic Swiss elegance. With clean round cases, minimalist dials, and hand-finished details, vintage Calatrava watches are the definition of understated sophistication. Perfect as a dress watch, these pieces have long stood as a benchmark for timeless design.

Patek Philippe Nautilus

Introduced in 1976 and designed by Gérald Genta, the Patek Philippe Nautilus redefined the luxury sports watch. With its porthole-inspired case, integrated bracelet, and robust construction, vintage Nautilus models have become some of the most desirable and valuable watches on the market. Whether in stainless steel or precious metals, the Nautilus offers boldness with elegance.
