PATEK PHILIPPE

Limited to 100 pieces, this Patek Philippe Ref. 5057G-010 Calatrava is a special limited edition created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Cortina Watch’s founding and its 50-year partnership with Patek Philippe in Southeast Asia. The 36.5mm model is a new edition of the Ref. 5057R-001 that was first made for the watch retailer’s silver anniversary in 1997.

Featuring the same triple row guilloched Clous de Paris hobnail bezel as its predecessor, the new white gold reference is distinguished by an elegant charcoal grey sunburst dial with a black gradient rim, white transfer-printed Roman numerals and white gold pear-shaped hands. Powered by the Calibre 240 PS IRM C LU, the display indicates the date, moonphases and power reserve on two subdials, with a small seconds indication between 4 and 5 o’clock. The ultra-thin self-winding movement with a 48-hour power reserve can be viewed through a transparent sapphire caseback, which bears the commemorative inscription “Cortina Watch 50th Anniversary Since 1972” in white.
