I really like it! Will be tempted although suspect wait a year or so and they will emerge used for about 17k?

It's up! Looks pretty!

Day, date, month, week. Nice numerals too with the "European" 7s (the little stroke in the middle)

Look at the close up pics - looks like almost hand painted/hand written!

Lugs and case look ornate and old fashioned to my eye.

40mm case is an upsize for a Calatrava. A brand new movement for this watch.

Lugs have a 5270 vibe. It's a wonderful vibe.

I love the weekly calendar complication. Gives you a sense of time going by.

The more I stare at the dial, I get dizzy trying to read it.

They say there is a new self-winding caliber in this one... does it have hacking seconds I wonder?
