Patek Philippe Complications Calatrava Weekly Calendar 40mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 40 mm case suggests

Patek Philippe Complications Calatrava Weekly Calendar 40mm measures 49 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.23 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 74% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 78% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 55 mm (2.17 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 66 mm (2.60 in) it starts to look compact. Below 49 mm (1.93 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
