Patek Philippe is of course known for its dress watches — the splendid Calatrava that debuted in 1932 and continues to anchor the celebrated watchmaker’s catalog today. However, there are other dress watches within the Patek lineup that deserve recognition.
1999 saw the launch of the Sculpture, an automatic watch in steel or 18K gold available in nine versions, each limited to just 300 pieces. A simple, elegant time-and-date model, the Sculpture was made with ‘Arabic’ or ‘Roman’-numeral dials and featured a unique case with an integrated bracelet and a crown protection feature.
This particular Sculpture from the early 2000s features a 38mm stainless steel case with geometric lugs, a sapphire crystal, a protected, sapphire cabochon crown, a polished step bezel, and a black dial with a ‘baton’ handset, ‘Roman’ numeral and dot indices, an outer minute track in white, and a date window at 3 o’clock. Powered by the automatic Patek Philippe 315 SC movement, it’s finished with a stainless steel sculpture bracelet with a hidden deployant clasp.
While most collectors flock to the Nautilus — or even the Calatrava — this is your chance to own something unique.
