Incredible workmanship, but the product difference between Patek and other brands, such as Vacheron, simply doesn't justify the incredible difference in price.
Good job, as always. Interesting how deep you guys go into detail and find out and present things like the history of the logo of Calatrava which goes back into the 12 th century. Keep it up, guys!
55 year watch enthusiast... The Patek Philippe Calatrava 5119 is the only timepiece from Patek I would consider. Thin, plain, yellow gold, white face with Roman, leather strap, with or without seconds register, perfect, traditional, elegant, powerful! The rest of the line, sorry, no thanks.
Picasso quote: Good artists copy, Great artists steal. Many brands made/make Models of a basic understated design. One need’s to get close to identify the Maker. Understate elegance.
I just thought of a funny to illustrate my point. Archie mention in a Video how he was in a Quick-Mart and the cashier was wearing a Timex. Archie flashed his WG Calatrava and commented to him “Hey, we’re wearing the same Watch”! He agreed, thumbs up.
Great video Very informative. It was interesting to learn that the first calatrava was influenced by the bauhaus movement much like the A Lange, today saxonia is very similar in design to the early calatrava.
The 3445 and the Omega SMDV (add to it the Max Bill watch and the Nomos Ludwig) are all very similar although the Max Bill has the shortest lugs of the three and the Ludwig has the longest lugs that look like outstretched limbs. Patek’s level of craftsmanship is incredible.
You can dream about what you want. But to be honest, this is also not a price range that I can afford. But who knows, sometime. 😂 thanks for your kind words , we’re glad you like the content 🙏
Enjoyed the video guys! I think, though, you didn’t address an important question about the calatrava line. What defines a calatrava model? To my knowledge, the reference 96 was not officially called a ‘calatrava’ (please correct me if i’m wrong). And the watches in the line today differ so much that it’s really difficult to define what a calatrava is. I’d be curious to hear your take on this. Peace!
Thanks a bunch! Interesting question. Unfortunately I have no clue if the reference 96 was officially called calatrava. For us the calatrava is a kind of design language where form follows function. Thanks for your thoughts! Have a great weekend 💪
The 5227G and the matching cufflinks is my dream black tie watch. It’s the kind of watch you have to budget for the bespoke tux and shoes to go with it.
Hatte vor einigen Jahren ein Angebot für 5000 Euro, aber hab mich für eine alte Seamaster in 18k Gold für keine 1000 Euro entschieden, da Dresswatches einfach zu selten Anlass haben. Zurückblickend ein Fehler :D
GOLDAMMER. Is it german name? What its meaning? Your English is 👍. Your channel says that you have a brother. Curiosity kills as the envy. Happy new (?) year. Called 2023
In terms of build quality, the Calatrava is comparable to a Blancpain Villeret, but Patek have chosen to price it at around 2x the price. That’s mainly a brand positioning decision, but any thought of “value” at these price points is ridiculous.

Hey, if ever on the picture, theyr'e not Jean and Charles Stern but Philippe and Henri Stern ( father and son ). But great video :)
Hey 👋 damn you’re right 🙈🙈 thanks for your feedback! Cheers
@@GoldammerVintageWatches Fix it.

High production values, quality scholarship and an engaging character, keep me coming back for more and more.
Thank you.
Thanks man!

That's the beauty of all collecting passions, tastes differ. But the 5119 is already a special specimen, I have to agree with you.
This is a beautiful watch. I have an Omega very similar in design which was my Grandfathers. timeless .
Couldn’t agree more!!!

David Penney did not save PP or designed the Calatrava 96. Designer of the 96 is not known. Still enjoyed the video.
Hey there , thanks for your comment.All the sources I've read say Penney designed it in the early 30s.
@@GoldammerVintageWatches thanks for the content though.
Penney himself has confirmed he did not design it.
Great video
Very informative.

Very deep history.
Patek Calatrava is everything. Before all it is made by Patek. Wonderful. Perfection.
Why some people 👍s watches as you?
I hate square watches.

@@GoldammerVintageWatches Well said
Very nice video gents. I really appreciate the history part
Much appreciated 🙏! You always hear about Bauhaus design and I didn't really know exactly what it meant… knew this design mainly from furniture.
Enjoyed the video guys!

Haha unterschreibe ich so! zumindest ein finanzieller Fehler. Schleich dich in Zukunft einfach auf Hochzeiten , dann hast du deinen Anlass :D
Great content! You have a new subscriber. Thanks!
Nice to hear! I hope you enjoy our future content! ✌️
Patek Calatrava. My most 👍ed watch.
Less is more.
Absolutely agree!!
All shoot is a wallpaper 🔥🔥
Haha thanks man 😆
Do you know why the vintage Patek models have the grave accent in Geneve on the dial printing, but it seems like the modern pieces don't?
Unfortunately i have no idea…
@@GoldammerVintageWatches No worries, this was a wonderful video!
Thanks so much dude! I’ll research tomorrow and come back to you if I find something ;)
@@GoldammerVintageWatches danke schön!
Das ist echt ein tolles Video, das hat viel viel viel mehr likes verdient.
Vielen lieben Dank. Freut uns das es dir gefallen hat :)
My dad has one of these that his grandfather gave him. We are going to Patek next week to get it looked at.
Don’t you have a trusted watchmaker with experience in Vintage watches in your near or town?
@@GoldammerVintageWatches yea we have a patek at our mall but the woman at the mall said we should take it into patek Phillipe in nyc.
don't mean a Patek store, I mean a watchmaker which specializes in all kinds of vintage watches.
@@GoldammerVintageWatches yea maybe but it’s from the early 1950s and I guess my dad wants to get it restored.
Good luck to you.
Good information
We’re glad you enjoyed it.
good details presented
Thank you!
Natürlich wieder ein tolles Video. Großartig.
Vielen Dank für dein Feedback, freuen wir uns drüber !
Amazing video
Love it
Much thanks for you feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed it
I ❤ only the mighty Allah.

Thanks!!
Servicing for these would be a problem?
No but it needs a trusted and skilled watchmaker
GOLDAMMER. Is it german name? What its meaning?
Your English is 👍.
Your channel says that you have a brother.
Curiosity kills as the envy.
Happy new (?) year. Called 2023
It’s a German Bird. And yes, I have a 3 years older brother ;-) wish you the same 🙏
Can't u give one for my birthday sir❤️
Nice try 😀
Sell one of your 2 kidneys in the gray market (you are young) and buy or sell your soul to mr. Devil.

What about materials of the movement and finishing? Also does the BP hold its value? If no then why not?
Yes they are worth it!!!
Long story short :D
Cane you hellp my please i have vitange quartz Patek end i dont know is it autentic is mede solid platinum end gold
The easiest way is to give it to a trusted watchmaker. We don’t give any thoughts about authenticity, value & co ;)

Not worth it unless it’s below 10k. End of story.

GOOGLE explains why some people use rings in the middle finger. Very interesting. Search.
🌎👍❤
I always think about the materials used to make watches.
„The middle finger represents beauty, responsibility and self-analysis. It is a little uncommon to find someone wearing a ring on the middle finger. Rings worn on this finger are highly noticeable because they commonly symbolize power, balance and stability.“ 😂
