Is the Calatrava worth it?
1 Answer

Many watch lovers believe that the Calatrava is worth it. The Calatrava collection launched in 1932 and has remained in the catalogue ever since. It has endured because of its timeless design, an aesthetic epitomized by the reference 3919. That iconic Calatrava model is immediately recognizable by the Clous de Paris hobnail pattern on the gold bezel that frames its elegant time-only dial, with a discreet second subdial at six o’clock. It has come to represent the quintessential entry-level Patek Philippe. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in Patek Philippe Calatrava watches is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find Patek Philippe Calatrava watches and other watches on 1stDibs.
