Pilot-Style Dial
Calatrava 96 — Pilot-Style Dial
Undated
Early examples with large luminous Arabic numerals, typically on black lacquer – forerunners of the modern ref. 5522A.
Cases by Antoine Gerlach (precious metals) and Taubert (steel). The long “Patek Philippe & Co./Cie” signature gives way to the short signature around 1948.
