This Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3512 is a beautiful vintage dress watch from 1965, passed down through three generations and still in excellent condition. It comes with rare original documents, including the purchase receipt from Lugano, Switzerland, and an Extract from the Archives confirming its production date. Built during a landmark year in history—from the passage of the U.S. Civil Rights Act to the construction of NASA’s Apollo launch pads—this watch has quietly witnessed decades of change while remaining timeless in both design and function.

With its slim 31 mm 18k yellow gold case and ultra-thin profile, this Calatrava wears comfortably and elegantly. The minimalist silver dial features gold baton markers and dauphine hands, paired with a hand-wound Caliber 175 movement that still keeps excellent time. It’s a classic example of Swiss craftsmanship—simple, precise, and beautifully executed. The domed acrylic crystal adds to its vintage charm without distracting from the clean layout.

The watch has been well-maintained over the years. The crystal is clear, the movement is running strong, and the case shows only light wear from careful use. There are some surface marks on the gold case, which are left untouched to preserve its original finish, though it can be polished on request. With its full paperwork and honest condition, this Calatrava is a refined and personal piece of history ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
