Description

The present reference is the Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 5565A-001, a rare limited edition of 300 pieces that brings the collection’s understated design to a stainless-steel case.

Measuring 36 mm in diameter, the case gives the watch classic proportions, while the white-and-grey dial offers a subtle two-tone contrast. The display remains deliberately simple, with central hours, minutes, and seconds—an elegant expression of the Calatrava’s restrained, time-only character.

The watch is powered by a manual-winding movement, lending a traditional mechanical dimension to its clean design. Produced in a strictly limited quantity, the ref. 5565A-001 stands out as an uncommon steel interpretation of Patek Philippe’s enduring dress-watch aesthetic.

Patek Philippe & Co. was founded in 1839, located in Geneva and the Vallée de Joux. It designs and manufactures timepieces and movements, including some of the most complicated mechanical watches. It is considered by many experts and aficionados to be one of the most prestigious watch manufacturers.
In 1868, Patek Philippe made their first wristwatch, which was sold on November 13, 1876 to the Hungarian Countess.
It is the last independent, family-owned Genevan watch manufacture with uninterrupted operating history spanning nearly 180 years.
