A beautiful 1950s Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 570, an example with exemplary character, having been worn with the utmost respect and still maintaining so much of what makes these extremely coveted, its large 35mm case, proportionally the same as its smaller older brother the ref. 96, with brushed mid case details, sharp hallmarks in tact, and notably, with a seldom seen dial with a sub-seconds and not center seconds, something that adds to the balance immensely.
This example comes paired on its period correct and similarly patinated solid gold AW buckle, its dial has achieved a remarkable patina, lemoning with its age and its manually wound Patek caliber is running well and keeping accurate time.
