Patek Philippe 2525 Calatrava 1957

Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 2525/1 – Refined Simplicity in Yellow Gold (1957) The Patek Philippe Ref. 2525/1 is a pure expression of mid-century elegance — quiet, balanced, and unmistakably refined. Produced in 1957, this Calatrava embodies the design language that made Patek Philippe dress watches so enduring: restrained proportions, thoughtful details, and exceptional mechanical quality. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the stepped 36 mm case gives the watch a strong yet elegant wrist presence. The short, slightly downturned lugs add character while keeping the overall silhouette beautifully balanced. Over the decades, the case has developed a warm patina, adding to the honest vintage charm of the piece. The silver vertically brushed original Patek Philippe Sigma service dial is flawless and offers a wonderfully clean appearance. Its velvet-like finish, paired with delicate gold dauphine hands and dagger indexes, creates a subtle play of light that feels both understated and luxurious. Inside beats the manually wound Patek Philippe Cal. 10-200, a classic movement known for its reliability, slim construction, and fine finishing. The watch is accompanied by an Extract from the Archives of Patek Philippe, original Patek Philippe box, leather document holder, booklet, and the original 18k yellow gold Patek Philippe buckle. A quiet celebration of the mid-century ideal — less noise, more meaning. - wrist size in our picture is 18cm circumference - DIAL: Patek Philippe silver vertically brushed service dial in flawless condition original hands & crown STRAP & BUCKLE: black GOLDAMMER KARDINAL Alligator Embossed Leather Watch Strap / 2 mm thick original Patek Philippe 18k yellow gold buckle (not from the 1950s) CASE: great overall condition, showing minor traces of wear and warm patina around the case 3- body 18k yellow gold case with screw-down case back 36 mm (without crown) / 42 mm (lug-to-lug) / 18 mm (between lugs) / 8.5 mm thick reference: 2525/1 year: 1957 total weight: 47 g MOVEMENT: Patek Philippe Cal. 10-200 - manual wind 18 jewels, 19800 A/h, 36 hours power reserve professionally serviced 05/2026 -19 sec/d / 300° BOX & PAPERS: comes with Extract from the Archives of Patek Philippe (issued June 2020) original Patek Philippe box, leather document holder and booklet GOLDAMMER certificate of authenticity & service documentation card GOLDAMMER box GOLDAMMER REFERENCE: #1491
