Manufactured in the final years of the 20th century, this Calatrava still retains the Geneva seal of quality. Though not visible through the solid caseback, the movement is beautifully decorated with fausses côtes, perlage and a solid 21k gold rotor. What is visible is the beautiful lacquer dial, off-white in color which gives the watch a subdued elegance as opposed to bright white. The case and buckle are made of platinum and paired with the diamond-set dial really elevates this watch above its contemporaries.
This watch is a quintessential automatic Calatrava with the size and thickness making this watch both perfect for daily wear, but also suitable for special events with the touch of class from the diamond set dial.
