The historic emblem of the Geneva-based watchmaker
The Calatrava cross motif has its origins in the Spanish Order of Chivalry. Officially adopted in 1887 as the exclusive signature of Patek Philippe, this architectural symbol fully defines the lines of this pre-owned piece of jewellery. Crafted in 18-carat white gold, the ring incorporates the reference number 275.6/1A into its structural design. The symmetrical curves of the openwork central motif are set aglow by 24 brilliant-cut diamonds with an estimated total weight of 0.36 carats. The incorporation of these gemstones emphasises the geometry of the setting without detracting from the visual purity of the precious metal.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The setting exudes a sense of prestige thanks to its wide band structure. Two solid rings with smooth finishes frame and protect the central openwork motif. The workshop’s master gem-setters have opted for a highly precise grain setting to secure the natural diamonds. These stones are set directly into the ends of the cross. The absence of prominent prongs or raised settings maintains a low profile and ensures the ring feels perfectly smooth against the finger, demonstrating technical mastery designed for wearing comfort.
Why choose this second-hand band ring
Acquiring a piece of jewellery from this manufacturer represents a discerning choice. Patek Philippe’s pure jewellery lines are produced in limited quantities. This sculptural piece features a density of solid gold rarely seen in contemporary designs. The contrast between the original polish of the white gold and the brilliance of the 24 diamonds is testament to superior craftsmanship. The second-hand market allows you to acquire a piece of complex design – the cost of which, if made to measure today, would be particularly high – whilst maintaining absolute discretion.
