Specialist note

Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1957 and its subsequent sale on June 14th of the following year.

The large Calatrava model reference 570 was introduced into the market in 1938, featuring either subsidiary or center seconds. The center seconds version was produced in two series: the first with a 12 SC movement that was in production until 1950, the second with caliber 27 SC, such as the present watch, from 1950 until 1970.
