Patek Philippe 1595 Calatrava 1948
Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 1595 – Teardrop Elegance from the Post-War Era (1948)
The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 1595 is one of the manufacture’s most elegant and recognizable post-war dress watches — a perfect balance of proportion, restraint, and timeless sophistication.
Produced in 1948 and crafted in 18k yellow gold, this reference is especially admired for its beautifully sculpted teardrop lugs, giving the otherwise minimalist Calatrava case a subtle yet highly distinctive character. With its balanced 35 mm proportions, the watch feels refined, elegant, and remarkably modern on the wrist.
The original silver dial remains in flawless condition and perfectly reflects Patek Philippe’s understated design philosophy. Combined with the original hands and crown, the watch delivers a clean and harmonious aesthetic that has defined the Calatrava line for generations.
Inside beats the legendary Patek Philippe Cal. 12-120 PS, one of the manufacture’s most respected manually wound movements of the era. Celebrated for its exceptional finishing, reliability, and elegant architecture, it represents the golden age of classic Patek Philippe watchmaking.
Accompanied by an Extract from the Archives of Patek Philippe, this Ref. 1595 is a highly wearable and historically important Calatrava — combining sculptural case design, mechanical purity, and enduring mid-century elegance.
