Vintage gem - Calatrava ref. 2431

Look at the lugs on this gem. Wow!

The only modern watch that I know of that even comes close is the Vacheron Cornes de Vache

Patek’s current collection has some good examples with stepped lugs, fluted lugs, etc. but this is next level

Maybe it’s because thanksgiving is coming up, but when I see those lugs, I think of turkey legs

I can certainly appreciate the beauty as I do with all things Patek, but to me, that lacks some of the subtlety and nuance that I truly respect from the brand

Too bad they no longer make watches like that anymore. Beautiful timepiece.
