Any chance Patek will announce a 36mm or 37mm Calatrava at Watches and Wonders in 202
The current Calatrava watches are too large imo.

Well, this is really not the trend, I doubt it.
Aside of Patek, when the watches got much larger in the 2012-2016 period (42 to even 45-46), we saw a reversal afterwards, with sometimes 2 size propositions (e.g. the Royal Oak). Patek didn't go that route, they took maybe +1mm on many references over a 10-year period instead (maybe 2mm maximum for the smaller references). However, with Patek, it depends on the demand. If many collectors ask for a smaller watch, Patek will certainly consider it. If not, I don't think they will. |

Agree that they need to do this. The current size base Calatrava is way too big to that point that it looks a bit awkward. I've tried it on a couple times and wonder whom they're making it for. My wrist is a little over 7" inches, which I feel like is a normal size, and it just looks cheap to me because of the proportions. It could be a Fossil watch to my eyes.

It would be a surprise to see a 38mm Calatrava using the new 30‑255 PS based on the size of the new movement.
I'm patiently waiting to see what they do with the new Platinum Calatrava which I'm sure will use the 30‑255 PS - I'll take it from there; expecting this next Spring. Looking forward to it. |

No, it is the trend. And it has been for a couple years now. Men are even wearing 34mm and smaller women’s watches. Please refer to the articles below. https://www.gq.com/story/the-weeknd-ladies-watches https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/journ...bunny-17489916 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/08/f...y-matters.html https://www.wsj.com/articles/men-wea...mille-7f0ecceb https://amp.scmp.com/magazines/style...lippe-timothee https://www.gq.com/story/timothee-ch...rtier-panthere |

Did Patek mention they’re working on a new platinum Calatrava? I haven’t heard about that. |
