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

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 2452 in 18k rose gold is a masterclass in understated elegance. Introduced in the mid-20th century, this reference showcases a unique blend of architectural detail and classical refinement that has come to define Patek’s Calatrava line. The 35mm case, rendered in warm rose gold, features a distinctive stepped profile with a concave bezel and elegantly downturned lugs — design elements that give it a presence far beyond its modest dimensions.

At its core, the 2452 houses a manual-winding mechanical movement, the Caliber 10-200, known for its precision and reliability. The dial is clean and beautifully balanced, typically silver or opaline in tone, with applied gold indices and a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o’clock. Its minimalist layout allows the form and materials to speak for themselves, offering a look that remains timeless decades after its original production.

What sets the 2452 apart — especially in rose gold — is its rarity and quiet sophistication. While yellow gold was more commonly used during this era, rose gold models were produced in far fewer numbers, making them highly sought after by collectors today. The warm tone of the case gives the watch a more contemporary feel, while still honoring its vintage roots.

Whether worn as a formal dress piece or cherished as part of a refined collection, the Patek Philippe Ref. 2452 stands as a testament to the brand’s enduring commitment to elegance, craftsmanship, and subtle distinction. Its balanced proportions, thoughtful design, and rarity in rose gold make it a true gem among mid-century Patek Philippe watches.
