Before entering the modernist era of the Museum Watch, Movado produced some of the most elegant and restrained dress watches in Switzerland, and this Calatrava-style reference is a perfect example. The golden dial has developed a warm, even patina over the decades, giving the watch the unmistakable character that only time can create. Its slim baton indices, central dauphine hands and small seconds subdial reflect the refined geometry that defined the post-war dress watch aesthetic. The gold-plated case maintains its beautiful vintage profile, while the stainless-steel case back shows honest, age-appropriate wear. Paired with a textured, stingray-pattern leather strap that enhances the vintage appeal, this Movado is more than a timepiece — it’s a fragment of 1950s European sophistication, preserved with authenticity and respect for its history. A charming companion for collectors of true vintage Swiss horology, this 1950s Movado Calatrava stands as a testament to the elegance of an era and the enduring beauty of minimalism.
