This Patek Philippe Amagnetic Calatrava "Tiffany & Co." 2509 has a mechanical manual winding Patek Philippe caliber 12-400 movement that's rhodium plated, with fausses cotes embellishment, and the Geneva Quality seal. It's constructed with 18 jewels, a gold lever escapement, a patented Patek Phiippe Gyromax balance adjusted for heat, cold isochronism and 5 positions, and an anti-shock mechanism. It includes a self-compensating Breguet balance-spring, and an anti-magnetic soft iron core. The Patek Philippe 2509 Calatravas have become increasingly difficult to find in desirable condition.

It was also one of the first water resistant cases to be introduced.
