Pre-Owned Patek Philippe by Analog Shift Pre-Owned Patek Philppe Calatrava Travel Time 5034J-001/3080982/4042042

Why We Love It

Patek Philippe is one of the few brands that knows how to execute simple perfection.

Over the years, their dress -line Calatrava has evolved, but its basic characteristics remain unmistakable and iconic. It's rich history provides both the vintage and contemporary enthusiast with a variety of choices in metals, sizes, and tiny details to obsess over.

This particular example, a Reference 5034J is finished in a 34mm 18k yellow gold case, which houses Patek's manual-winding calibre 215/156, a white dial with painted Breguet numerals, 18k yellow and white gold leaf hands, and a subsidiary seconds register. The case contains two additional pushers at the 8:00 and 10:00 positions, which allow the wearer to select a second time zone.

This lovely watch remains in outstanding condition throughout and is accompanied by its original 18 yellow gold pin buckle, and a Patek Philippe signed brown leather strap and its service tag.

This watch has it all - pedigree, refinement, function, and an understated appeal.

Simply lovely!

The Patek Philippe Story 

Patek Philippe.

Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe is one of the oldest watch manufacturers in the world with an uninterrupted watchmaking history. Few luxury brands in the world carry the gravitas of their name, and for good reason.  The firm's commitment to excellence in horological manufacture is unflinching, and their track record of innovation in design without peer.  They continue to lead the industry, and even their fiercest competitors have nothing but the utmost respect for the company.

Owning a Patek Philippe is for many the ultimate goal of timepiece collecting, and for a certain type, the only timepieces they collect. Whichever way you look at it, there is no questioning the elegance of design, superlative manufacture of their cases and movements, or the sheer elegance and emotion that comes from owning one.

Of course for a brand that is steeped in heritage, we are told ‘You never actually own a Patek Philippe…”

Well, you know the rest.
