The size

We do not ask you. The atelier's archive knows the Calatrava references one by one: the lug width, the case, the years. Below is what the archive says today; from the reference the rest follows. The watch stays on your wrist.

What changes for the strap

The end of the strap follows the profile of the case between the two lugs. The archive tells us the lug width of your reference.

The leather

Alligator, box calf, suede, shell cordovan: the leather is chosen together, in the atelier or by video call. Where it enters between the lugs, the strap is as thin as needed; at the wrist it returns to its thickness. The calf lining, the edges painted in several layers, the hand stitching in saddle stitch.

The time

Four, five weeks from confirmation. In the atelier in Via XX Settembre or by video call, wherever you are. Care for the first eighteen months is included.

The next step

The right strap is not chosen. It is built together.

Six references

The Calatrava was born in 1932 with reference 96, the same year the Stern family took over Patek Philippe. The design follows the Bauhaus principle: function decides form. In 1985 the 3919 arrived with the Clous de Paris bezel; in 2021 the 6119 revived it in a 39 mm case, with 21 mm between the lugs.
