The Essence of Elegance!

The epitome of timeless elegance – the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5023J, crafted in 18-carat yellow gold. This model is a prime example of the minimalist design language of the Calatrava line, which has embodied the essence of classic watchmaking for decades.

With a diameter of 33 mm, the watch presents harmonious, balanced proportions – subtle on the wrist, yet with an unmistakable presence. The case is in very good condition, with only minimal signs of wear. Only the bezel shows a few small, barely visible imperfections.

The silver-coloured dial is flawless and radiates understated elegance. The Dauphine hands accentuate the classic design of this Calatrava and lend it a refined, almost sculptural appearance.

Inside beats the hand-wound Calibre 215 – one of Patek Philippe's most legendary movements, renowned for its slim design, reliability and exquisite finishing.

The watch comes with the original papers, issued by Wempe in 1998, as well as the original Patek Philippe pin buckle.
