Cornavin - Calatrava - No Reserve Price - Men - 1950-1959

Cornavin – Calatrava – Mechanical – Gold Plated – 34 mm – 1950s This elegant 1950s Cornavin Calatrava embodies the refined aesthetics of mid-century Swiss watchmaking. Housed in a 34 mm gold-plated case and protected by an acrylic crystal, it features a clean and classic silver dial with understated hour markers, perfectly balanced for timeless appeal. Inside, a reliable Swiss mechanical movement powers the hours, minutes, and seconds functions with traditional precision. It is fitted with a generic leather strap that can fit a wrist of up to 20 cm, and graded B for condition, showing signs of use consistent with its age. While untested for water resistance, the watch remains in good overall condition for a timepiece over 70 years old and comes with a generic box. Specifications: Brand: Cornavin Model: Calatrava Production Period: 1950s Movement: Swiss Mechanical Case Material: Gold Plated Case Diameter: 34 mm Crystal: Acrylic Glass Dial: Silver Functions: Hours, Minutes, Seconds Water Resistance: Untested Strap: Generic Leather – Fits up to 20 cm wrist Condition: Grade B – Signs of use according to age Accessories: Generic Box Story & Legacy: Cornavin, founded in Geneva, earned its place in the Swiss watchmaking tradition by producing elegant yet dependable timepieces. The Calatrava style, named after the famous Patek Philippe design school, became an enduring symbol of understated sophistication during the 1950s. This piece reflects the post-war era’s emphasis on slim profiles, balanced dials, and precise mechanics—ideal for formal occasions but equally charming for daily wear. A vintage Cornavin Calatrava is not only a fine example of mid-century design but also a tangible link to the golden age of Swiss horology.
