Ahh, it is a beauty and I hope you can find one.

There are hundreds of Calatravas if you do a search on Google, but this one is not very common to begin with, although a few showed up online here on in Japan. Unfortunately, most were either sold out already or did not come with papers.
So I had to keep checking and searching for one with papers too. I was lucky because the dealer, who I have bought from twice before, is close in town, so I could go see it in person.
I imagine you will find one by searching Google. Hopefully a good one will appear that is close by too! Good luck.

Sparkling older Calatrava joins my collection

Being a Patek fan, I owned 1 Aquanaut and 2 World Time over the years. I still own a 5711. One day I decided that my collection couldn’t live without another PP, so I started searching for a Calatrava, one that is easy to tell the time, has out-of-the-ord...
I love it!

The dial color, the size, the guilloche, even the Roman's (usually not my first choice) great find
Thanks. It's not a common dial.

I think this is my only watch with Romans, but I think the shinny, applied RG Romans add a nice touch on this one..
Thanks. Yes, it is.

I wanted something a little different than my big watches, and a little retro look too.
Congratulations!

Indeed 33mm it a a very acceptable and good looking size for a beautiful dress watch like yours! I even go to 31mm sometimes. Best. René ...

It is in fact a JLC, which I fortunately found and enjoy so much. Best. René
Thanks. And that guilloche dial is what first caught my eye.

I also tried to find more info on it. The PP experts might be able to help. What I know is it's a PP 5022R-001 (R for RG). Made from 1997 until 2003. Manual-wind caliber 215 PS (I believe PS because of the small seconds). It came in 3 golds + platinum. No...
love this watch
