Condition Report*: Metals:
Gold
Yellow Metal

Overall Condition: Poor
Condition Notes: This legendary 18k gold Patek Philippe Calatrava watch is in need of a full factory restoration; the 18k rotor assembly is present, but has broken away from the movement, and the auto Gyromax balance is also in need of repair. The 18k gold case displays scratches and discoloration from age, but is otherwise structurally sound. Currently fitted with a well-worn Speidel yellow metal stretch band and equipped with an acrylic crystal, showing moderate scratches; the watch is sold as-is.
Patek Philippe: Patek Philippe, established in Geneva in 1839, is one of the world’s most prestigious and enduring Swiss watch manufacturers. Renowned for its uncompromising craftsmanship and technical innovation, the company introduced numerous horological milestones, including the perpetual calendar, minute repeater, and split-seconds chronograph. Since 1932, Patek Philippe has remained family-owned under the Stern family, safeguarding its independence and commitment to excellence. The brand’s philosophy—“You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.”—epitomizes its dedication to timeless quality, heritage, and lasting value.
