Patek Philippe's Millennium Calatrava
Among Patek Phillipe 's limited editions for the Year 2000 was this rarely seen and talked about Calatrava ref. 5032J-012 (on this site, it was only mentioned 10 years ago by small-luxury-world ). Limited to 100 pieces all in yellow gold , it was sold exc...
Thanks Emmanuelle for highlighting this
limited edition ! The dial is unique with the applied numeral 2. Would love to see it in the metal and try it on the wrist !
My pleasure, Gordon.
I would also be very happy to see one in real life. The case of the 5032 seems to have been influential for the one of the 5224. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
This is charming
Rarely see the PP logo written in a curve.. the other time is the 5396 sector dial
I’m glad this thread brought something new.
Very nice piece indeed. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
Truly a wonderful piece 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Nice, thin, elegant. And without the small seconds one does not see that the movement is relatively small - also helped by the solid case back 😊
Calibre 240 is 27,50 mm, so not that bad for
a 36 mm watch. The ref. 5120 is 35 mm and the caliber fits the case back perfectly: www.watchprosite.com I'm glad you like this Millenium Calatrava too! Cheers, Emmanuel
Not bad…
But likewise I am still happy that they made the choices made - no imbalance this way 😊
I think that the idea of this design is that indexes mark the hours
and meet the hour hand, whereas the numerals on the outer periphery mark the minutes and meet the minutes hand... But I understand why you feel this placement is a bit odd. Best, Emmanuel
Unfortunately, with only 100 pieces,
the chances to see one someday aren’t huge. Best, Emmanuel
As you have such a soft spot,
this one's definitely for you. Enjoy your Sunday. Best, Emmanuel
I'm happy with yellow gold,
but platinum would've been very sought after I think. Enjoy your Sunday. Best, Emmanuel
