Patek Philippe 18k Calatrava Linen 1970s

Patek Philippe has made many different Calatravas over the years, each standing out in their own unique way.  

Our model features a 33 mm 18k yellow gold case with no lugs, 18k yellow gold mesh bracelet with Patek Philippe clasp.

Special on this one is that it has a 18k gold dial with linen texture and slim stick hands and hour markets. The gold has developed a very warm patina all around the case and bracelet.
