Patek Philippe - Calatrava - 1543 - Men - 1900-1949

Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 1543 – caliber 12-120

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 1543, 35 mm, is an elegant vintage wristwatch made by the renowned Swiss maison between 1942 and 1950.
Characterized by a refined 18-carat yellow gold case, it stands out for its iconic 'goccia' (or 'mouse') handles, a distinctive element of great charm.
The silver dial features triangular indices and Arabic numerals (3, 9, and 12) applied, with an elegant small seconds hand at 6 o'clock.
The leather strap is adorned with the original 18k gold buckle.

Inside, it houses the renowned manual-winding mechanical movement caliber 12-120, a symbol of Patek Philippe's technical excellence.

The watch, with a gross weight of 43g, is presented in good condition. The movement is functioning at the time of cataloging; however, it has not been tested for time accuracy or power reserve duration and may require servicing at the buyer's discretion. The case is in generally good condition, consistent with use and age. The dial is in good condition, showing a small patina loss at 8 o'clock.

Rare and produced in very limited quantities, this model represents one of the purest interpretations of the Calatrava style.
