NOTES:

Patek Phillipe is known for its high quality, classic design and innovative technology having remained on its course of manufacturing high level mechanical complications and fine wristwatches even through the quartz crisis of the 1970-80’s.

The Patek Philippe Calatrava antimagnetic reference 2508 was launched in 1951 and remained in production until around 1960. Among collectors, the reference 2508 is one of the most popular Calatrava wristwatches by Patek Philippe, likely due to its elegant yet sporty masculine design. The waterproof type screw down case back as well as its antimagnetic cover are still relevant innovations for use in today’s day to day conditions. These features reinforce that this is still a very wearable piece today at 35mm.

This particular 2508 is especially sought after since very few of these were manufactured in this pink gold version. This large Calatrava model was mostly produced in yellow gold, a small percentage in pink gold and only a few in stainless steel.
