Pre-owned in used condition. No box or papers.

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 2557 is a refined expression of mid-century elegance, embodying the quiet luxury and technical mastery that define the Calatrava lineage. Introduced in the 1950s, this model features a 32.5mm case crafted in solid 18K yellow gold, striking a perfect balance between timeless proportion and discreet presence on the wrist. Its minimalist black dial, often found with applied gold baton hour markers and slender dauphine hands, exemplifies the design purity Patek Philippe is renowned for. A small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock adds a touch of functional symmetry without disrupting the dial’s clean aesthetic.

At the heart of the 2557 is the manual-winding caliber 10-200, a beautifully finished movement that reflects the brand’s meticulous approach to mechanical watchmaking. Protected by a domed acrylic crystal, the watch retains its vintage character while offering an intimate, tactile winding experience each day. Originally designed as a formal dress watch, the Ref. 2557's understated sophistication makes it a versatile companion for both business and special occasions.

For collectors and enthusiasts, the Calatrava 2557 offers not only a link to Patek Philippe’s golden age, but also genuine rarity — particularly in well-preserved, original condition. Its modest dimensions and classic styling ensure it remains relevant in today’s world of oversized and overcomplicated watches. Whether acquired as a statement of quiet confidence or as part of a curated vintage collection, the Ref. 2557 continues to uphold the timeless ideals of horological excellence.
