Modeled after the original ref. 96 Calatrava this piece retains the brand DNA while the 37MM size fits modern taste. The lugs are long and have a very large presence under a dress cuff. I love that I feel the weight of the gold when I wear it even though it is so thin. It is so comfortable to wear. The strap is the best in the business and when you wear this timepiece, It feels as if it were part of your wrist.

This timepiece was purchased new in 2012 and has all the books and paperwork that originally came with it.

The service history is unknown, however I took it in to my watchmaker for inspection. He reported that the timepiece is well lubricated and running within 3 seconds per day. The amplitude also checked out as falling within the appropriate range.
