Lot Essay

This magnificent reference 570 can only be described as stunning. It features a fantastic and rare 'two-tone dial' with a 'long' signature. Furthermore, rather than the standard sweep center seconds found on most later models, this early example has a subsidiary seconds register that adds to its vintage charm. The present 'Grande Calatrava' is offered in very good overall condition and retains a hallmark on one of the lugs.

Reference 570
Introduced in 1938, reference 570 was the first large Calatrava produced in series and was manufactured for a staggering 34 years until 1972. Measuring 35mm in diameter (opposed to its predecessor, reference 96 measuring 30.5mm), the model was incredibly popular and offered in a plethora of different case metals, dial colors, and configurations over the decades.
