Characterized by its broad polished bezel, elongated straight lugs, and balanced round proportions measuring approximately 35 millimeters in diameter, the reference established the template for the oversized mid-century Calatrava and remains one of the most recognizable expressions of Patek Philippe's restrained dress watch design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater examples of the reference, including watches produced during the early 1960s, were fitted with the manually wound calibre 27 SC, a refined center-seconds movement representing the evolution of the earlier subsidiary-seconds calibres used in preceding generations of the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDials of this period are typically executed in a silvered finish with applied gold baton hour markers, dauphine hands, and a printed minute track surrounding the periphery, with the signature PATEK PHILIPPE GENEVE rendered in raised enamel beneath 12 o'clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present example, produced in 1962 according to the Extract from the Archives, is preserved in yellow gold and retains the characteristic straight-lug case architecture associated with the reference. The interior caseback bears the hallmarks of one of Patek Philippe's historical Geneva case suppliers, while the exterior case continues to display well-defined geometry and a strong Swiss gold hallmark to the reverse of the upper lug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dial has developed a warm cream-toned appearance over time, with light surface aging and minor spotting visible along portions of the outer minute track, consistent with the natural maturation of mid-century silvered finishes. The raised enamel signature remains crisp and well preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Preserved in attractive vintage condition, the watch retains strong case proportions, crisp lug hallmarks, and an original dial displaying even age-related toning and stable printing throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WRISTORIAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47564476809386,"sku":"WRI-312.038","price":42500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/1236\/7530\/files\/570-DRCR-F-15.jpg?v=1771496497","url":"https:\/\/www.wristorian.com\/products\/patek-philippe-570j-calatrava-white-dial","provider":"WRISTORIAN® ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
