Patek Philippe Calatrava 5119
Written by admin on August 18, 2009 – 10:13 pm -Patek Philippe Calatrava 5119 Patek is the oldest family-owned firm in Geneva, and this is its signature model. The company is one of the few that makes all its own components, from bracelets to movements, and each watch has the Geneva Seal (awarded, after extensive testing, by the Geneva School of Horology). Al Armstrong echoes the opinion of many dealers when he says, "Their pieces are as good as it gets in terms of quality and finish." After a lengthy period during which bigger, flashier watches have ruled the roost, it's nice to see the pendulum swing back to a timepiece that's as discreet and quietly prosperous as its birth town.
