In 1932, Patek Philippe & Cie., the company's name at the time, introduced the Calatrava, which became the standard for all dress timepieces ever created. It derives its name from the symbol of the Order of Calatrava, the Calatrava cross.
In reality, the postwar era was the pinnacle of watch design, and Patek Philippe produced some of the industry's most exquisitely crafted watch cases during this time.

This particular specimen of the Reference 2459J is crafted out of 18k yellow gold and has a cream dial that has developed a very slight aging discoloration over time.

A presentation box accompanies this timepiece, and an extract from the archives of Patek Philippe attesting to its 1954 manufacturing. Moreover, Twain Time provides a 12-month limited warranty.
