The present stainless steel Calatrava is the only known Reference 1521 that has come to market.
The highly attractive dial features applied steel Roman numerals quarters that contrast beautifully with the engraved enamel indices and two-tone silvered dial.
The astonishingly well preserved stainless steel case houses the manual wound caliber 10-110, which Patek Philippe used regularly from 1940 and 1950.
