Calatrava 33mm
5022
How it wears
Wears true to its 33 mm case size
Patek Philippe Calatrava 33mm measures 38 mm lug-to-lug on a 33 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.15 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 94% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 90% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 43 mm (1.69 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 51 mm (2.01 in) it starts to look compact. Below 38 mm (1.50 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
