thin Calatrava ...

First, congratulations to your wonderfull Patek. It´s an automatic thin watch - they are quite rare and the other comments don´t really mirror the truth. The movement is a joint production of AP&JLC and PP used this one before they had the cal240 from 1982 on as far as I know. The movement is a super-flat masterpiece and I especially love the fact, that the hectic small/large second is missing - just a straight 2-hands - for times without rush, just to enjoy time passing ... I recently bought the same in WG with a light silver gray dial - just amazing ... There is also a later version, which is slightly bigger and houses the cal240 - also one of my pieces and they make a perfect pair. Most simple calatravas are hand wound and the automatics are good to collect - they are the perfect deal with prices from 6-9"eur. Enjoy yours and keep it ! Cordially from Munich RobHall

An average second hand Calatrava... not much. And everyone who is saying that PP keep their value, are talking about the interesting pieces. There are tons of watches like that for sale.

Hard to tell... but of course there will be a buyer out there, you only need one... It's like in the classice car scene: also the less desirable cars will be sold, if the price it right in the end... But not by the ones in to the knowledge.... This messag...

Beyond that, it has a value to you, which may be more or less than the market tells. The market is always tight for it's purposes, but not necessarily for yours. In the end, your taste should be all that matters to you. That said, I believe we are crossin...
