Calatrava Chronograph 530

An exceptional and highly sought-after example of the legendary Patek Philippe reference 530, cased in 18k yellow gold with the rare and desirable “wide lugs” configuration. Measuring 36.5mm in diameter, the 530 was Patek Philippe’s largest chronograph of the era, and remains one of the most iconic vintage chronographs ever produced. Applied Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 o’clock, and elegant feuille (leaf) hands for the hours and minutes. The chronograph hands — both the central seconds and the 30-minute counter — are crafted in blued steel, offering a striking contrast and perfect legibility. Powering the watch is the esteemed Patek Philippe caliber 13’’’ — a hand-wound chronograph movement equipped with a column wheel and horizontal clutch. Known for its reliability and beautiful hand-finishing, this movement is considered one of the finest mid-20th century chronograph calibers ever made.

Patek Philippe is the last Family-Owned Independent Genevan Watch Manufacturer. Iconic models are the Nautilus, Aquanaut, Calatrava, Cubitus, Ellipse, Twenty~4 and grand complications. Since 1839 without interruption, Patek Philippe has been perpetuating the tradition of Genevan watchmaking. As the last family-owned independent watch manufacturer in Geneva, it enjoys total creative freedom to entirely design, produce and assemble what experts agree to be the finest timepieces in the world – following the vision of its founders Antoine Norbert de Patek (1839) and Adrien Philippe (1845). The company name became Patek Philippe in 1851, and it is under this name that Patek Philippe created the first Swiss wristwatch ever made in 1868. Thanks to its exceptional know-how, Patek Philippe maintains a tradition of innovation hailed by an impressive repertoire of more than 80 patents.
