Haute Watch of the Week: Patek Philippe Calatrava 7200

The 7200, like most timepieces in the Calatrava collection, brings us back to the basic essentials of timekeeping: this one tracking just hours and minutes. This watch also reminds us that those basic essentials are not the only reason we wear a mechanical timepiece. What also counts is craftsmanship and design, of which Patek Philippe is a master.

Haute Watch of the Week: Patek Philippe Ref. 5200 Gondolo 8 Days

The Ref. 5200 is a standout for lovers of manual-wound timepieces. Aside from the tactile experience of turning the crown and feeling the action of the winding train, there is a technical benefit of a manual-wind: it is precisely adjustable because the declining torque of the gradually relaxing mainspring can be taken into account in the poising process.
