Patek Philippe Makes Steel The New Deal For Calatrava
Most people will immediately think of the exquisite dress watches made by Patek Philippe in precious metals when you mention the Calatrava. Already decades ago has this collection become a benchmark for the industry. While Patek Philippe made quite a name for itself with first the stainless steel Nautilus, and later on the Aquanaut, was this material only used sporadically to case Calatrava's. Recently there seems to have been a change in direction, as last year we where already been treated to the exquisite Calatrava Weekly Calendar Ref.5212A, sporting a stainless steel case, and now Patek Philippe is treating us on the Ref.6007A-001 Limited Edition, also in this material.

It might be a cliche, but a watch is one of the best gifts to give dad for father's day. It combines practical and sentimental values and will provide him with joy whenever he is wearing it.

Watch of the Week: Patek Philippe 5212A Calatrava Weekly Calendar
The Patek Philippe 5212A Calatrava Weekly Calendar was one of the most surprising watches of last year, and for more reasons than one.

They most certainly had no problem meeting these high expectations and did so with an entirely new watch.
Patek Philippe 5212A Calatrava Weekly Calendar: The Watch Connoisseurs Where Waiting For?
When one of the major introductions from Patek Philippe is crafted from stainless steel, it is almost always a sports model. But every rule needs to have an exception. In the past, Patek Philippe has veered a few times off the precious metals, towards the more common steel for their classic watches, but only on rare occasions. That is one part that makes the 5212A Calatrava Weekly Calendar so special, as the other part is the complication that it is fitted with!
What Current Watches Will Be Tomorrows Auction Favorites?
It has happened to many watch collectors; they look over a list of watches that have been auctioned off only to realise that they didn't buy a specific model years ago when its prices were much more modest. It remains very complex to determine beforehand which watches will show a strong value over the years. Rarity plays a role, as well who made the watch, but as the Paul Newman Daytona probably proofs best, they might currently not even be among the most popular timepieces available! These four watches might be up there one day:
Four Watches For Which Understated Is No Overstatement
Understated watches are a realm of their own. They often require a connoisseurs eye to recognize them as something special, but special they are indeed. They please their owners with refined movement, subtle details and the knowledge that they have something exceptional around the wrist. They are the 'sleeper cars' of the watch industry, and these are four of the most desirable.

Best Moonphases of 2013
Lunar time was one of the earliest forms of tracking the hours, derived from the ancient astrolabe that plotted the movement of the planets relative to the stars. Today’s modern moonphase watches are a mainly decorative tribute to that ancient tradition, with practical uses limited to the tracking of ocean tides, a concern of serious […]
