{"product_id":"patek-philippe-calatrava-5000j-3","title":"1995 Patek Philippe Calatrava 33MM Black Dial Leather Strap (5000J)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe seller represents this timepiece as being in vintage condition. According to the seller, this timepiece was serviced in 2024. This auction includes the watch and papers dated September 19th, 1995; the boxes are not included in the listing.\n\nThis one tells you everything you need to know about what watchmaking can be. The Calatrava 5000J is Patek Philippe distilled to its essence — no date, no complications, no distractions. Just a black dial with applied yellow gold Arabic numerals, an internal railway minute circle, and the Cal. 240 PS doing its work behind a sapphire display caseback. Ultra-thin. Perfectly proportioned at 37mm. The kind of watch that makes every other watch on the table feel like it's trying too hard. Look closer at that dial. The small seconds sit at approximately 4:30 — not 6 o'clock like every other dress watch on the market. It's asymmetrical, unexpected, and completely deliberate. Once you notice it, you can't unsee it, and it's the detail that separates the people who know this reference from everyone else. The Archives extract — signed by the President of Patek Philippe SA Geneve, dated April 24, 2024 — confirms manufacture and sale in 1995, movement number, case number, and dial specification. This is as close to original papers as a 30-year-old Patek gets. The original 18k yellow gold pin buckle is present and correct — stamped Patek Philippe Geneve \/ 750. The black alligator strap shows honest wear consistent with a well-loved piece. No box. No papers. Archives extract and service documentation included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference Number: 5000J\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Material: Yellow Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBezel Material: Yellow Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Diameter: 33mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystal: Sapphire Crystal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDial Numbers: Arabic Numerals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracelet Material: Leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovement: Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58145826472323,"sku":"5000J","price":7100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/2386\/6499\/files\/Patek_Philippe_5000J_10326232268932_Pic1.jpg?v=1780002453","url":"https:\/\/1839exchange.com\/products\/patek-philippe-calatrava-5000j-3","provider":"1839exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
