This Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 2594R is similarly known as a ‘’Disco Volante’’, a nickname proposed by Italian collectors translating directly to ‘’flying saucer’’ due to its distinguishing wide-bezel proportions. As with many watches from the same period, this example from the 1950s is sized at 32 mm. and fully cased in 18k rose gold, bearing engraved hour markers and a completely smooth bezel. Inside the case back, we find the manual calibre 23-300 and a particularly collectable hallmark, the number 2 inside a key, a reference to the casemaker being Frédéric Baumgartner SA. This particular timepiece comes with its original red Patek Philippe case and certificate of origin from the Republic and Canton of Geneva.
