Patek Philippe Calatrava 5153 Watch Hands-On
Among mentions of modern Patek Philippe watches, the Calatrava line seldom receives the same level of enthusiasm as Patek's more complicated pieces.

The case size is a generous 44.25mm wide in steel (likely to be gold version as some point) and uses the same case shape that Omega has been using for these watches forever. I like how even in a large size
