You haven't posted a video in a month LWC, I sure hope everything is alright. I hope it's something like, I haven't bought anything recently and I'm enjoying time with my family... take care LWC
Great watch. The calfskin strap rather than alligator is to compliment the steel case. Thierry Stern hinted in the PP magazine recently that a new range of calatravas would be in steel. You don’t need a suit to wear a modern day dress watch. A long sleeve shirt would suffice.
Thank you very much for this detailed review. I whispered my name to my AD's ears yesterday. Now, it will be matter of time when I can touch my very own. Thanks for the inspiration!
I just had a quote on my mind after watching this. "Professors, you do the math really good" ❤ The way all the specs were delivered truly made this a video complete. Cheers 🍻
It certainly does nothing for me in the shock and awe department, and at this price level I find that very odd. I don’t doubt that it is a masterpiece in watch engineering and it’s pedigree is undisputed but I honestly wouldn’t give it a second look. At the end of the day if it makes you feel happy Sir then that is all that matters. Thank you for sharing this rare opportunity to see another piece to your collection Sir 👍 Tam.
I too noticed the font on dial at first look... all the characters and numbers on dial seem that they are handwritten and bear different font... this is what makes this watch unique, personalised and increases its snob value... BTW congrats for the new purchase... 👍 👌
The hand written font is what attracts me most to this radial weekly calendar. Exquisite and low key piece. The calfskin watchband can always be easily switched out. Jean Rousseau would be great to do so like LWC did with his Speedmaster.
I like how you're taste evolves over time, from you're last purchase the explorer 1 and now a Patek. Nice one. Soon you will get a Lange datograph/ Dufourograph 😄
What a beautiful watch. As you said, the “off white” and almost handwritten lettering makes it a truly special piece. Very legible and very pleasant to the eye.
This video brings several comments to my mind : 1) this Calatrava is a beautiful watch, I particularly love the fact the font on the dial is the actual handwriting of a Patek Philippe employee 2) the watch is elegant, in a modern way and size, it doesn’t shout money like a Nautilus does. Perfect timepiece for Monday to Friday in the office 3) not really sure about the week display though. When I have serious planning to do, nothing replaces a good old desk calendar, where you can point at dates and share with other people. Only time will tell if it makes sense 4) the leather strap is fitted with quick release. If you don’t like it, change it. 5) on a broader perspective. Sir, over the past years, you have bought a significant amount of high end watches, sometimes almost back to back. In two or three years, several will be due for a service. How will you deal with this ? Option one : given the size of your collection, each watch gets very little wrist time so you simply decide to skip the service Option two : you play the rules by the book, and bring every single piece back to the AD when maintenance time comes. Sharing the cost of this scenario would be useful for all watch geeks who aspire to own watches from Patek, AP, Rolex.
Congrats on acquiring a great new watch. I was reading about this watch the other day and fell in love with that dial. Now I can watch it review. Made my day. A clean look will always be my favorite look.
I have the same issue- I LOVE Lange watches but I am NEVER in a suit and have no use for a dress watch. Definitely want the Odysseus one day though. Patek is class all the way - and for the few times you DO wear a suit- that’s the brand you want 100%. Beautiful piece congratulations. I understand the elegance of the plain dial Pateks but they are WAY overpriced for time only watches. This watch you bought earns its price with those complications.
A modern gentleman should wear a lounge suit more often maybe not a dinner jacket as that is very formal but most certainly a lounge suit. A dress watch can be worn with a long sleeve shirt or even a Jumper or dressy sweater. If you are wearing a nice casual jacket as well would be a good choice for a dress watch. A lot of modern sports watches like Rolex are also dress watches.
That is beautiful, and for your first dress watch.. I'd say you hit it out of the park! I agree the strap buckle is not up to par for a $33k US watch. That should come with the deployment bracelet.
Like the watch especially that it doesn't look too expensive for the uninitiated. But Comic Sans on a Patek dial? This is definitively a watch to love because of its function.
Finally a serious dress watch in your collection. You need something different. The rolex sport watches are great but they are all similar and look the same. Congratulations on this watch. Keep it original and btw it does work with jeans and a shirt. You dont have to wear a suit to wear it. You got a stereotype on a dress watch. Thank you fof your upload. Love your channel..
Congratulations on your latest purchase. Another beautiful watch. Something a little different for your collection. Nice to see Patek adding hacking seconds.
Ditch all your other watches and just wear this, it is elegance and style above anything else you have shown us. A lovely watch, your 'one' watch. I would be humbled to own this, people can nitpick on straps and buckles but these are minor and a change is easily remedied, if you wanted to. Gorgeous watch congratulations.
Can't go wrong. Ultimate quality, the rest is personal attraction. What I like is that this is a top piece but definitely not among popular price-inflated pieces (Nautilus, Aquanaut, RO, Daytona, Hulk...). Definitely a more interesting piece, much more original - not a watch for sheep.
I've been watching you since the beginning. I remember your channel was called Weekly watch reviews and I loved the video of you washing your Omega planet ocean. Keep up the good work
Great watch - congratulations! I have just bought a pre-owned Glashutte Original weekly calendar - a very different approach from that of Patek. I'm told that using the number of the week is a very German thing.
I agree, that strap would annoy the hell out of me considering the price of the watch. Even my humble Longines Master Collection Moonphase which only cost £1,800 has an alligator strap with a deployent buckle.
Wow, i have been dreaming about this watch for quite a while, thanks a lot for sharing !! The weekly calendar is something i have been looking for a while in any type of watch, none have this function but this PP ... Such an amazing piece
We are all curious of where u have been and hope u are safe 🙏🏻.We want u back and most of us want to see the video of the Rolex watch that is more expensive than all your collection .
Great watch, but not my cup of tea. When talking about dress watches, for me the #1 is the AL&S saxonia. Nevertheless great content (as always) and nice new music. Always a joy to see your videos. Take care
@@utsavpaliwal99 yeah, for me also 36-38mm is the perfect size for a dress watch. Indeed I own a Nomos Metro neomatik which is 35 mm, and although doesn´t play in the same league as the saxonia, it is a great watch for the money, featuring a nice in-house movement and all the german watchmaking cgaracteristics (3/4 plate, glashutte stripes, heat-blued screws, minimalistik design...).
Iñaki Milton that nomos is great, its like a gateway to the saxonia, similarly crisp dial, respectably finished movement and with nomos the case size can be deceptive cause of the extended lugs, making even a 35 wear like a 38. Cheers mate!
Hi LWC! Can you please make a video on the different watch accessories you use like cases, cleaning, stands, winders, etc? Would love to see your setup!
Top review and this watch is quality!! Patek phillipe no doubt is above a lot of luxury watch brands this watch no doubt will increase in value !! Good addition to your collection LWC !!
This is very good indeed - one of your best yet. But it is so sad that it won't be getting much wrist time - seeing how very hard they are to buy, and how many people there are who would love to wear the watch every day...
I’ve always liked the Calatrava and this is a great one with. Live the complications on it. Agree that the strap could have been the crocodile with the Patek buckle but other than that not much else wrong with it. Congratulations on the purchase and, as always, a brilliant unboxing and review.
So did the AD choose this one for you? Its not a dress watch, nor a sports watch. The dial is busier than a london bus, and the strap and buckle are not dressy. And the way that date wheel colour is different to the dial is just difficult to look at. The watch is nice , but I can't see any dressy elements. I honestly think the reverso " originally sport now dress " watch will look perfect on you.
The font used does not look dressy to me. This looks like a casual Friday in the office watch. I agree it is not a sporty watch. But I would not call it a formal watch. I see this as a Sunday brunch watch also. Champagne on the yacht with Buffy Much nicer than the Tudor the other day.
I would call this model a field/dress watch and a field watch should never have a deployment clasp. It’s looks awesome and really suits you. The dial and strap really work together. Beautiful piece 👍🏼
Exquisite piece. I think it would blend well as a Fall-Winter watch to use under long dark wool rain coat, with some long trousers and matching the strap colors with the belt and shoes. Congrats again for the content!
The date is currently Friday December 11th, 2020. LWC has been missing in action for nearly four months. The community LWC has built is missing him dearly and are worried for the safety and health of him and his loved ones.
For me it is a crossover watch somewhere in between a dress watch and a sports watch. In this regard it accomplishes very well. The only thing I dislike is the colour of the date, it shouldn’t be white but cream/ivory like the dial itself, and probably with the same font as the dial as well. I think the strap works well, not as sporty as rubber not as dressy as alligator. Maybe they could have come up with something more imaginative, but since I can’t myself how can I blame them? My personal Patek favorite is the 5196G because it for me stands as The Watch, but I can easily see why this is the right watch for you. Congratulations.
A strap is easy to change and can change the look of a watch completely. IMHO the original strap and buckle make this an under the radar watch. It's casual, it's steel. It doesn't scream "cut my arm off on the subway". Congrats on the great piece!
@@xxxxare I would think that with patek pricing you would want the original strap to be nice and as you mentioned you can easily change the strap to make it look more under the radar.
Whilst the strap isn’t to everyone’s liking I think the intention was to de-formalise the watch so yes it can be worn with a suit for business (without standing out like other Patek’s) but could also be worn with Jeans. Straps can always be changed :-)
Two full months have passed since LWC posted his last video. Hope this guy and his family are all right. Keep buggering on, mate.
Im too am worried.
4 months have passed, alas, no video or post on instagram. Hope all is well
@@Zane0202 Yes I've been missing LWC's wonderful reviews
Nahh he's doing fine, he just bought his girl a Daytona

Where is LWC? We miss you
Did he passed away from covid?
@@gerardoesquivel9919 nope
The more I looked at it, the more I liked it.
I’m the exact opposite 👍🏻
Hope everything is ok! 3 month no any signs from you!
Great watch. The calfskin strap rather than alligator is to compliment the steel case. Thierry Stern hinted in the PP magazine recently that a new range of calatravas would be in steel. You don’t need a suit to wear a modern day dress watch. A long sleeve shirt would suffice.

I have my sat morning coffee and normally relax with one of his new videos. Nothing for 2 months. Hope you are ok!!
This is the nicest watch I've ever seen in my life.
The perfect dress watch !
Thanks for showing your treasures ⌚⌚⌚⌚.
I just had a quote on my mind after watching this. "Professors, you do the math really good" ❤
The way all the specs were delivered truly made this a video complete. Cheers 🍻

Came here the same thing.
Aye, it’s minging.
Nicely said 💯👊🏼
@B.
You would need to see the watch in person. It is a stunning looking watch when you see it in person.
It has an old world instrument vibe to it.
LWC, we miss you! I hope it’s all fine

What a beautiful watch. As you said, the “off white” and almost handwritten lettering makes it a truly special piece. Very legible and very pleasant to the eye.

Classic, classic, classic! But it definitely needs a black strap!

Weekly calendar is a rally rare function. Good for business planning. Nice choice. Congrats!
Looks great. Congrats
Super looking watch. I think my favourite

Omega Tresor in white gold could be a better option
How about Omega Tresor?
@@syedmohdfasihnaqvi155Yes indeed, especially the 125th anniversary version with the red enamel dial. Absolutely awesome.

Probably my favorite from your entire collection.
It’s a shame that the look of the watch is ruined by a cheap looking strap and a pin buckle..
ashutosh3 Agreed ... Maybe if the strap was a black textured alligator ...
A strap is easy to change and can change the look of a watch completely.
IMHO the original strap and buckle make this an under the radar watch. It's casual, it's steel. It doesn't scream "cut my arm off on the subway".

Great watch 👍👌 not my type of watch but as long as your happy with it who cares!! Do you like A.Lange & Sohne?
Absolutely beautiful. I agree with the need for a better strap and the clasp, feels like a missed opportunity.
I have every PP watch you do but passed on this one for a worldtime which is a fantastic dress watch I think you will get there someday
