The Patek Philippe Calatrava Complications 5180/1R-001 is an extraordinary showcase of the brand’s mastery in skeletonization, housed in a 39mm rose gold case with a matching bracelet that exudes refined elegance. Unlike conventional openworked designs, this timepiece features an entirely hand-engraved movement, the ultra-thin self-winding caliber 240 SQU, which appears to float within the case thanks to its meticulously carved bridges. The sapphire dial ensures an unobstructed view of the movement’s intricate architecture, revealing the delicate filigree craftsmanship that Patek Philippe’s artisans painstakingly execute.
This masterpiece is not just about aesthetics—it represents a pinnacle of mechanical artistry. Each component of the movement is painstakingly skeletonized and hand-finished, from the bevelled edges to the engraved motifs, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The rose gold bracelet, with its polished and satin-brushed links, complements the transparency of the watch, offering both comfort and sophistication. For collectors, the 5180/1R-001 is more than a watch—it’s a wearable work of art that highlights Patek Philippe’s tradition of decorative horology at its highest level.
*This watch comes with the Original Patek hang tag.
