Patek Philippe is associated with traditional watchmaking, complicated movements and some of the most closely followed designs in modern collecting. Yet its catalogue ranges from restrained dress watches to steel sports models, meaning there is no single Patek Philippe look.

The Calatrava represents a very different side of Patek Philippe. These watches are generally restrained, thin and traditional, leaving little room for poor alignment or oversized components to hide.
A well balanced replica Patek Philippe Calatrava therefore depends on proportion rather than complexity.
