Patek Philippe, Calatrava, 5088/100P, Black Motif Dial, Platinum, Leather Strap, 38mm.

Introduced in the early 2020s, the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088/100P‑001 is a showcase of Patek Philippe’s rare handcrafts mastery.

Its 38mm case is forged from polished platinum, elegantly detailed with champlevé enamel and intricate hand-engraved arabesque patterns around the flanks.

Beneath the sapphire crystal, the dial is a deeply lustrous black enamel plate adorned with voluted graphics, all executed by hand on an 18k gold base.

Dauphine hands in white gold glide across this textured canvas, offering a clean and refined reading of the time.

The automatic Caliber 240 movement powers the watch, featuring an ultra-thin profile (just 2.53mm thick) and a 22k gold off-centre rotor, backed by a minimum 48-hour power reserve.

Its Gyromax balance and Spiromax spring ensure consistent accuracy, and the movement is visible through a sapphire case back.

Strapped to a glossy black alligator leather band, secured by a platinum pin buckle meticulously engraved to match the case, the 5088/100P‑001 blends wearable dimensions with artisanal elegance.

With 30 meters of water resistance, it is a refined, everyday expression of haute horlogerie.
