[[Patek Philippe]] makes a successful line of dress watches in [[Bauhaus]] style with [[Clous de Paris]] [[guilloche]] around the bezel.

===== Bauhaus Models =====
In [[1973]], Patek created a modern classic Calatrava, [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 3520|Ref. 3520]], with a round case, straight lugs, and "Clous de Paris" or "hobnail" bezel. This simple 2-handed watch spawned a family of watches, larger and smaller cases, quartz and automatic movements, and complications.

The original [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 3520|Ref. 3520]] was an immediate success, so Patek Philippe added additional members of the family. A larger model (36 mm instead of 32 mm), [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 3590|Ref. 3590]] also added an automatic movement. The quartz [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 3744|Ref. 3744]] was very similar to the original in size and appearance.

The first model with [[center seconds]] was [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 3802|Ref. 3802]] of the 1980's. A [[small seconds]] model, [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 3919|Ref. 3919]], was added in [[1985]] and became a standard-bearer for the model until [[2006]].

The line was refreshed in the 1990's with new movements. [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 3944|Ref. 3944]] was the new quartz model, adding a center seconds hand and date window. On the automatic side was the new 2-handed [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 3992|Ref. 3992]] with [[PP240|Cal. 240]].

The 2000's saw the switch to a 3-part case with a sapphire case back, allowing the movement to be seen. A smaller 31 mm model, [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 7119|Ref. 7119]] was also added, with [[small seconds]] thanks to [[PP 215|Cal. 215 PS]]. Today, this is one of the larger Ladies Calatrava models. The latest automatic 2-handed model is [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 5120|Ref. 5120]], which was introduced in [[2001]] and retired in [[2016]], with a larger 35 mm case and the new [[PP 240|Cal. 240]]. The hand-winding [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 5119|Ref. 5119]], appearing in [[2006]], has a 36 mm case, [[small seconds]], and [[PP 215|Cal. 215 PS]].

Another unusual member of the family is the [[Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar 5139|Perpetual Calendar, Ref. 5139]]. It looks just like the contemporary Calatrava models but adds a [[perpetual calendar]] and is does not use the Calatrava name.

===== Other Models =====
Due to the success of the original [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 3520|Ref. 3520]], Patek Philippe applied Clous de Paris to other models in the [[Patek Philippe Calatrava|Calatrava family]]. These models are not directly in the classic Bauhaus line but are essential to the importance of this design to the company.
