The 96 is the first watch in the replica Patek Philippe CALATRAVA series and the first watch from Patek Philippe to use its own movement. Patek Philippe used the Jaeger-LeCoultre 12-inch movement on the early 96th, and then Patek Philippe began using the Patek Philippe’s self-produced 12-120 manual movement on the 96th. Patek Philippe 96 size 32 mm, Patek Philippe 96 has been produced since 1932 until 1973, evolved a lot of disk version. There are big three needles, three small needles and two needles. There are treasures, time stamps, bullets, and so on. The design of Patek Philippe 96 has laid the design route for all the dressing tables after Patek Philippe. It is simple and classic. Today, except for the size of 32mm, it does not meet the size of the current men’s watch, but the design and proportion of the watch are still perfect.
The 570 is the first “large size” model in the history of the Patek Philippe CALATRAVA series. The size of the 570 is 36 mm. In the era when it was introduced in 1938, the size of the men’s watch is usually 30 mm in size, 32 and 33. The 36mm 570 is definitely oversized. The Patek Philippe 570 has also developed a variety of versions, including the big three needles and the small three needles. There are a variety of cases in platinum, gold, rose gold and platinum, of which the steel shell is the rarest. The Patek Philippe 570 uses a 12-400 manual movement. Since the 570 size is 36 mm, even today it is still acceptable for male watch sizes (such as the Rolex 36 mm DJ), so the 570 is very hot in the antique watch market, and the price is very high, far exceeding the 96 mm of the 32 mm.
The 2526 is a watch with a high value and prestige in the history of the Patek Philippe CALATRAVA series, known as the “Automatic King”. Firstly, 2526 is Patek Philippe’s first automatic watch, using a 12-600AT self-winding movement. The 12-600AT automatic movement uses the Gyromax cardless weight to fine-tune the balance wheel, the gooseneck fine-tuning, and the Breguet hairspring (the end of the hairspring). The configuration and decoration level are very high (one of the details is that Rolex is the first Applying for a patent for a self-winding movement, the Rolex patent protection period has passed, and other brands have begun to use the self-winding movement). At the same time, the size of the 2526 is 36 mm, which is historically “large size” and is also the size of the men’s watch today. Another important point is that 2526 is a slap. From the movement, size, and disk surface, the 2526 is perfect, so it is known as the “automatic king.” It is said that the price of a 2526 in history has been close to Patek Philippe’s timekeeping calendar 2499, and the value is very high. Patek Philippe 2526 includes gold, platinum, rose gold, and platinum versions.
