Yellow gold dress watch perfection.
I was really missing a yellow gold dress watch in my collection, despite quite some options out there could not think of much better than the classic and timeless simplicity of a vintage Calatrava. And if it comes with a beautiful historical movement and an enamel dial...what else can I ask for!?
First wrist shots of a PP2526 happy owner 
merci, feeling on the wrist is great!
And true marvel to behold...
Looking for a correct crown. It's bracelet currently being serviced in Plan-Les-Ouat.
I don't know yet...
Not puting all my hopes there, guess I wil be complicated. Saw one for sale on ebay a while ago, not anymore there. Will need to keep looking...
I don't think much beats this
Congratulations to you.
2526 is such a cool reference. So much charm.

thanks Joe, I am very happy,
It exceeds all my expectations, there is so much to appreciate, from inside-out!
yes...of course....the movement is quite special....
......and an historic movement for Patek Philippe too...12-600AT....
I know there is actually some debate about which model hit the markets first...2552 or 2526...... but it would seem sensible to argue 2526

thanks Volker! instant love with this one!
And very happy to add my first yellow gold.
the dial is a pure marvel,
Such a fine work of art, even more impressive when you think of its age!
You're absolutely right my friend. So timeless timepiece. Congratulations
Best wishes

A real icon...
The term icon is too often misused but it fits here. A really historically important and beautiful model.
Thank you Dave,
This is a true gem for me, one can hardly think getting tired of this watch, in general Calatravas fill their low-profile dressing function perfectly and the 2526 offers so much more for the informed wearer.
Beautiful watch and photos.
That dial is stunning and the whole watch just whispers simple class and elegance. I enjoyed seeing it. Regards Kev.
And I can tell you I enjoyed immensely
Wearing it for the first day today! The dial is so pure and serene, looking at it almost relaxes you.
So iconic! And to hunt a good condition example is ultra difficult! Congrats, yours look impeccable! [nt]
No message body
You are absolutely right
An absolute classic. IMO, For a simple "dress" watch, nothing beats a vintage Calatrava.
I really needed one!
The next most classic thing in my collection would be a Moser Perpetual 1 for the dial (but much heavier and bigger) or the Langematik Anniversary that coincidentally has an enamel dial as well but would say can be dressed down a bit due to the red XII; the Reverso 1931 would also fall in that category. But none falls in the same category as the 2526, and all are white metals.
A most magnificent piece

A perfect choice

Thanks!
Not sure the king, but the one that has gotten me the strongest for sure! Nice detail of the Biennale thanks for sharing, very a propos!
Wow!!
Is all I can say... What a show-stopper!
This is one of my grails for sure, enjoy it, I'm sure you absolutely will!
