An elegant and highly collectible Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5000G in 18k white gold, accompanied by its Patek Philippe folding clasp, original Patek travel box, and freshly serviced by Patek Philippe in 2025, presented in excellent condition.

We are pleased to present this refined and timeless Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5000G, a reference that perfectly bridges classic Calatrava aesthetics with subtle modernity. Crafted in discreet 18k white gold, this watch offers understated sophistication and exceptional versatility, making it an ideal companion for both formal and everyday wear.

Produced around 1999, the Ref. 5000G features a beautifully proportioned 33.5 mm case, faithful to traditional Calatrava dimensions and prized by collectors for its elegance and comfort on the wrist. The clean silver dial is accented by applied white gold hour markers and slender dauphine hands, resulting in a minimalist and perfectly balanced design.

The watch is fitted with a correct Patek Philippe white gold folding clasp, enhancing both security and wearability, and is further accompanied by its original Patek Philippe travel box — desirable accessories that elevate the overall completeness of the set.

Powering the watch is the Patek Philippe automatic calibre 240, an ultra-thin micro-rotor movement celebrated for its technical ingenuity, reliability, and refined finishing. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the calibre 240 remains one of Patek Philippe’s most iconic and enduring movements.

Importantly, this example has just undergone a full service by Patek Philippe in 2025, ensuring optimal mechanical performance and offering peace of mind to its next owner. The watch is preserved in excellent condition, reflecting careful ownership and professional maintenance.

And the small 33,5 case Patek model are again the new sought after models in the market.

"Understated, elegant, and mechanically distinguished, this Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5000G represents a superb opportunity to acquire a classic white gold Calatrava with desirable accessories and recent factory service — a true connoisseur’s timepiece from one of the world’s most respected manufactures."
