Calatrava for the London Exhibition
This is the 5153G-012 limited to 80 pieces for the London Exhibition in 2015. It features Breguet numerals, an officer case, and a date window at 3 o'clock. I acquired it by sheer luck from an Authorized Dealer on a trip to London a few years ago. A plain but lovely piece....
Thank you. The dealer showed me some grand complications one after another at that appointment....
Then he said: I also have this.... Without pausing for breath or asking for price, I immediately said: I'll take it 
If you don’t mind me asking, what was the price? I have the standard 36 mm version and have often thought of the London Edition. I’ve seen one for sale and it seems expensive, even for a limited edition!

Lovely piece Sam!
And as you may have guessed, I opted for the ladies equivalent for my smaller wrist!
Gorgeous. I think I remember you told me that....
Is it in yellow gold? Adds a vintage feel....
It looks like it is in yellow gold but
it is actually in rose gold! I actually took the watch to the Patek factory during a visit and the department that made cases immediately confirmed that it was in rose gold, something not even experts could tell. The reason is Patek uses only three microns of copper on their ladies watches and four microns of copper on their men's watches. Rose gold Nautlises have five microns of copper!
A great catch, and those Breguet numerals are pure pleasure for the eyes! Patek elegance at its finest!🙏🥂
