The Patek Philippe Calatrava is considered by many to be the blueprint for the traditional dress watch. The watch is inspired by the Bauhaus principle of form and follows function.

It is by no coincidence that for these reasons, vintage Calatrava’s have become highly sought-after timepieces. Today, the design has become so familiar that it is difficult to fully appreciate the underlying elements that make the original design so ageless.
