The Watch: We can't resist a watch in uniform. The Patek Philippe Calatrava Officer’s, reference 5153J-001, launched in 2009 as the yellow gold execution of a 3-hander in an officer’s case. A hinged dust cover swings open to reveal the sapphire display back, Aa unsigned onion crown sits between integrated guards, and note the straight lugs and gold screwbars for the strap, standard on Patek's officer's watches.
The opaline dial centers on a hand-guilloché sunburst. A small gold cartouche holds the arched PATEK PHILIPPE GENÈVE signature in black, with gilt minute pearls running the periphery. Applied gold markers and gold hands sit above a date aperture at 3 o’clock, with a center seconds hand sweeping across.
Movement is the self-winding Calibre 324 S C, 29 jewels beating at 28,800 vph for 45 hours of power reserve. The 38mm yellow gold case measures 9.7mm thick and is rated to 30 meters.
Condition: Very good condition with light marks to the case.
Includes: On its original Patek Philippe strap with yellow gold deployant clasp. Accompanied by the Patek Philippe box, no papers.
