Beautiful collection!
I really enjoy seeing the variety of lugs and bezel profiles across these references — it’s a reminder of how much personality Patek could pack into a restrained Calatrava design. The 3558g’s bold hands are such a nice contrast to the more classic look of

Calatravas with date functions are not very popular with purist Patek collectors, but perhaps because of their smaller size, I like these (neo)vintage models.
These are all WG models. From left to right, they are 3998g, 3445g, 3558g, and 3514g. Only the 3998 is hand-wound, while the other three models are equipped with the famous automatic movement 27-460. 3998g equipped with the manual-winding movement 310SC.

A dated Calatrava is very practical. These don't get much attention from the PP collectors, but I collect them as well as the non-date versions.

Trio of 27-460(M) . The automatic models with dates are not very popular in general among pure collectors, but it is quite nice to have them in WG cases.
from the left,3558/3514/3445 Each model is similar but has different types of lugs The slightly cylinder-shaped dial is still cool, even though there are many made of it. 3445g is a model sold a lot in Japan. The previous owner designed it with a skeleton

I got # 3558G (Cal.27-460Auto). It wasn't very impressed when I saw this model on the image of the dealer's site, but when I saw the real thing, I was overwhelmed by the powerful straight lug.
As I said before, it reminds me of Marini’s ”rider". (Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice) And it also works with horizontal color shirts

I went to the Artizon Museum (Tokyo) with # 7234A. The main purpose was to see Marino Marini's sculpture "Rider". The work was reminiscent of Calatrava # 3558
The audience was sparse ２different object ♯3558 Thick and spartan rugs are reminiscent of Rider’s straight arms
