This 'heavy case' Calatrava Reference 2483 was launched in 1950 and listed in the catalogue until 1954. With a rather small production of around 160 watches in yellow gold this is a very interesting watch. Furthermore, the dial is signed by the Belgian retailer Lörtscher making this piece possibly unique and extremely attractive for a collector looking for a rare original Calatrava piece.
