Patek Philippe “Tropical 570G” Calatrava

Description

Up for grabs is a beautiful and super crisp early Patek Philippe Calatrava, reference 570, circa 1960s, housed in a rare 18kt white gold case.  The reference 570 is a very popular reference amongst collectors for its larger (than Patek standards) case size and long lugs, giving it a nice presence on the wrist.  An extract of the archive of Patek Philippe has been ordered, and will be provided to the buyer upon receipt.

The condition of this Patek Philippe Calatrava is great, overall very well-preserved.  The case does not show any signs of polishing, with a sharp case and strong hallmarks under the lugs. The dial is unrestored with a strong raised enamel signature, and has aged to a stunning tropical creamy patina color, giving this watch a truly unique look.
