The Patek Philippe Calatrava line, introduced in 1932, is one of the most iconic and enduring collections in Swiss watchmaking history. Designed as a pure dress watch, it was inspired by the Bauhaus principle of “form follows function,” emphasizing clean lines and minimalistic elegance. Over the decades, the Calatrava has evolved while maintaining its core aesthetic—round cases, understated dials, and exquisite craftsmanship. The 5115R-001, with its enamel dial and hobnail bezel, pays homage to early Calatrava designs, particularly referencing the legendary 3919 model, which set the standard for classic dress watches in the late 20th century.
The use of grand feu enamel on the dial links this model to traditional Swiss horology, a technique requiring skill and patience to achieve a flawless, timeless surface. The manual-wind Caliber 215 PS inside the watch is a direct descendant of Patek Philippe’s historical hand-wound movements, known for their precision and longevity. The hobnail bezel, a signature of many Calatrava models, echoes design elements from the 18th and 19th centuries, when guilloché patterns were used to enhance gold surfaces. The 5115R-001 thus stands as both a tribute to the past and a continuation of Patek Philippe’s enduring legacy in fine watchmaking.
A truly complete and superb timepiece; a collectors dream.
