The Calatrava collection is named after the ornate cross that is the company's symbol. The first Calatrava gentleman's wristwatch was produced in 1932, and the design continues to win the appreciation of succeeding generations. Seen by many as Patek Philippe's signature model, the elegance captured in its round dial finds expression through subtle variations across the range.

Patek Philippe launched its first special edition Calatrava cloisonné enamel dial wristwatch sets in 2000.

According to our research, there were only two sets specially made for Hong Kong and Singapore markets. The current set is one of the two only sets made and was released in 2003.
