Simple, Feminine and Timeless, Patek Philippe Calatrava for Ladies

Every Patek Philippe watch is crafted from the finest materials and intended to be worn and cherished for a lifetime. The Calatrava collection achieves this longevity through the timelessness of its design, embodying the essence of the round wristwatch and the simplicity of minimalist design. There are three ladies' Calatrava models in the current collection, each of which balances these aesthetic codes with carefully selected embellishments. 

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 7200R-001

Presented in a sleek 18ct rose gold case, the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 7200R-001 is a quintessential Calatrava wristwatch. The bezel is slender and unadorned, the dial clean and minimalist. The materials speak for themselves, from the warm gold of the case and numerals to the silvery grained texture on the dial. Breguet numerals bring a traditional touch to the design, complementing the clean contemporary style. The timepiece is powered by the ultra-thin mechanical Caliber 240 and mounted on a pearly beige alligator leather strap. At only 34.6mm in diameter and 7.37mm in height, this is a delicate watch ideal for smaller wrists and those looking for a refined aesthetic.

 The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 4997/200G-001

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 4997/200G-001 remains true to the minimalist influences of the Calatrava while allowing rare handcrafts to shine. The dial is embellished with an intricate hand-guilloché pattern, overlaid with layers of deep midnight blue lacquer. The hand-crafted nature of this technique makes every dial unique and gives each timepiece its own character. Seventy-six round brilliant cut diamonds are set into the bezel, each stone individually set to showcase its fire and sparkle. The intricacy of the dial is balanced by simple powdered gold hour markers and the elegance of the white gold case. This model is also powered by the Caliber 240, allowing the case to retain dainty proportions of 35mm in diameter and 7.4mm in height. It is presented on a shiny navy blue satinated calfskin strap, providing classic style with a touch of glamour.

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 4997/200R-001

At Watches and Wonders 2023, Patek Philippe unveiled the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 4997/200R-001 as a companion to the Ref. 4997/200G-001. This timepiece features the same design and movement but is presented in a rose gold case with a purple lacquered dial and matching strap. The result is bold and characterful, using the restrained canvas of the Calatrava to showcase the colour. The combination of translucent lacquer and the guilloché pattern on the dial plate makes the dial shimmer and shift as the light catches it, revealing different tones within the purple hue.

The ladies' references within the Patek Philippe Calatrava collection offer a range of styles designed for slender wrists and those who prefer a delicate aesthetic. From the glamour of the Ref. 4997/200G-001 and the boldness of the Ref. 4997/200R-001 to the simple elegance of the Ref. 7200R-001, these watches are crafted to accompany the wearer from day to night, elevating any outfit or occasion.
