The present Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 3588/2, dating to 1973, is a remarkably elegant and uncommon example of the manufacture’s integrated-bracelet dress watches from the early 1970s. Executed entirely in yellow gold, the watch is distinguished by its cohesive and sculptural design, with the round case seamlessly integrated into the matching yellow-gold bracelet, fitted with a signed gold clasp. The total gross weight of the watch is 87.8 grams, underscoring the substantial presence of this precious-metal construction. The watch is fitted with a superb blue dial, offering a striking contrast to the warmth of the yellow gold. The baton hour markers are recessed directly into the gold dial, creating depth and a refined play of light, while the baton hands reinforce the clean, architectural elegance of the design. The overall aesthetic is both emblematic of early 1970s modernism and unmistakably Patek Philippe in its restraint and balance. Powering the watch is the automatic Patek Philippe manufacture calibre 28-255, a slim and reliable movement renowned for its precision and fine finishing. The case and bracelet feature matching decorative finishing, further enhancing the strong visual coherence of the piece. The caseback is engraved “Best wishes Jon N. Fell D&M 1973”, adding a personal and historically evocative dimension. Notably, the watch has remained within the family of the original owner and is now offered by his daughter, lending it particularly appealing provenance. Elegant, substantial, and rich in character, this Calatrava 3588-2 represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a distinctive 1970s Patek Philippe in yellow gold, combining integrated design, refined execution, and meaningful personal history.
