Patek Philippe Calatrava in 18k Rose Gold ref. 2429 “Flared” Lugs with Silver Dial

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 2429, with its distinctive "spider fang lugs," is indeed a masterpiece from the mid-20th century—a true gem for vintage collectors. The unconventional case and lug design of the Ref. 2429 are certainly standout features, showcasing a bold departure from traditional watch designs of the era. These "fang" lugs, which bend inward aggressively, add a unique and somewhat daring character to the watch, perfectly encapsulating the creativity and avant-garde spirit of the period.

The silver dial, with its raised black enamel printing, dauphine hands, and small running seconds at six o'clock, creates a timeless elegance that perfectly complements the bold case. The choice of 18-carat rose gold further enhances the refined aesthetic, adding warmth that contrasts beautifully with the sleek, modernist lines of the design. This example is fitted with one of our Bulang & Sons leather straps, and the caliber 10'-200 hand-wound movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.

Incorporating Art Deco elements with the daring lugs and overall aesthetic, the Ref. 2429 is a fine and super rare Calatrava: there are currently fewer than 30 known specimens in three metals—12 in platinum, 11 in yellow gold, and 4 in pink gold, like ours.

We are mesmerized by its case design—let us bring this piece to you; you will love it!
