Overview
A lacquered dial in depth
The Patek Philippe Calatrava, reference 4997/200G-001, in white gold with a bezel set with 76 brilliant-cut diamonds, midnight blue embossed and lacquered dial with powdered gilt markers, on a navy blue satin-finished calfskin strap. Patek Philippe no longer lists this reference in its current collection. Ultra-thin self-winding calibre 240; 35 mm, 7.4 mm high.
The reference 4997/200 is a Calatrava the brand presents as a feminine one, in a 35 mm case, 7.4 mm high, whose bezel is set with 76 brilliant-cut diamonds (0.55 ct). The dial is the point of this reference: the plate is embossed first and then lacquered in successive translucent layers, so the pattern reads through the colour with depth, and the hour markers are transfer-printed in a powdered gilt rather than applied.
The movement is the self-winding calibre 240, which Patek Philippe describes as ultra-thin: 27.5 mm across, 2.53 mm high, 152 parts and 27 jewels, wound by a 22K gold minirotor set off-centre and recessed into the movement rather than turning above it. It runs at 21,600 semi-oscillations an hour on a Gyromax® balance with a Spiromax® balance spring, for a power reserve of at least 48 hours, and carries the Patek Philippe Seal. A sapphire crystal case back shows it; the case is water-resistant to 30 m.
For collectors
The bezel setting is counted by Patek Philippe — 76 brilliant-cut diamonds, 0.55 ct — and is the only gem-setting on the watch; the dial's depth comes from the lacquer layering Patek Philippe describes, not from applied markers, and the strap is chosen to the dial's colour.
Key details
Design and engineering
- Lacquered dialThe dial plate is embossed with a concentric wave motif and then coated in dozens of successive layers of translucent midnight blue lacquer, which is what gives the depth effect Patek Philippe describes; hour markers transfer-printed in powdered white gilt, faceted dauphine-style hands in white gold.
- Set bezel76 brilliant-cut diamonds (0.55 ct) on the bezel of a fully polished white gold case 35 mm across and 7.4 mm high; sapphire crystal back, water-resistant to 30 m.
- MinirotorThe calibre 240's 22K gold winding rotor is small and off-centre, recessed into the movement, which is what keeps the calibre at 2.53 mm and the case at 7.4 mm.
- Strap and buckleCalfskin with a satinated finish in shiny navy blue, matched to the dial; white gold prong buckle.
