Patek Philippe Ladies Calatrava Joallerie 35mm White Gold Automatic 4997/200G-001 BLUE BLUE CALFSKIN

This Patek Philippe Ladies Calatrava Joaillerie reference 4997/200G-001 presents a traditional 35mm white gold case with classic Calatrava styling. The case features a polished finish throughout, consistent with Patek Philippe’s high standards for precious metal finishing. The blue dial maintains a clean, timeless aesthetic with applied gold baton markers and dauphine hands, all featuring luminescent material for practical readability. A diamond-set bezel adds decorative elements while maintaining the model’s enduring design principles. The watch is fitted with a blue calfskin strap that complements the dial color, creating a cohesive appearance. This configuration represents Patek Philippe’s heritage-rich approach to ladies’ timepieces, balancing jewelry elements with traditional watchmaking design.

The watch is powered by the self-winding Caliber 324 S C movement, which incorporates Patek Philippe’s proprietary Gyromax balance and Spiromax hairspring. This movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 45-hour power reserve when fully wound. The complication set includes central hours, minutes, and seconds functions along with a date display at 3 o’clock. The movement finishing follows Patek Philippe’s traditional standards, with perlage on the mainplate and Geneva striping on the bridges, though these are not visible as this model does not feature a display caseback. The movement’s reliability and technical specifications align with the brand’s reputation for producing durable, precision timekeeping instruments.

This particular example is in mint condition with no visible signs of wear on the case, bezel, or crystal. The blue calfskin strap shows minimal creasing and appears unworn. The watch includes its original papers and documentation, which is standard for Patek Philippe timepieces and important for authentication and future service. Within the current market, the Calatrava collection maintains strong collectibility due to its classic design and the brand’s enduring reputation. The combination of white gold case construction, diamond-set bezel, and complete documentation positions this reference well within the traditional dress watch category, appealing to collectors who value Patek Philippe’s heritage and the model’s straightforward technical execution.
