Mystery auction: Patek Philippe 4897G - Calatrava

Patek Philippe 4897G - Calatrava

 

Patek Philippe reinterprets his skeletonized Calatrava with a new version in pink gold. The famous ultra-thin self-winding calibre 240 - which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2017 - is entirely openworked, decorated and engraved by hand, and the engraving alone requires approximately 130 hours of hard work. The rotor is decorated for the first time with the emblem of the Patek Philippe stamp engraved. It is a tribute to the craftsmanship of high quality, carefully preserved by the manufacture.
