Patek Philippe 5196P.
That is one watch I regret having lost, a lot.
For me, this was the best modern Calatrava, a kind of mix of a Ref 96 and 570, with the very pleasant density of its platinum case, and, yes, its too small movement which centers the small second too much, but who cares?
A lot of charm and elegance, here. And one of the very good modern Pateks, for sure.
Best,
Nicolas

In my dreams?
This one, with a smaller logo and the modern movement from the new Calatrava
When Patek increased their logo size around 2004 or so, they lost a little bit of their mystique in my eyes
But their sales figures have started going through the roof, so it was probably a good business decision
Lovely watch Amigo.
And one which I admired from a distance for many years. The 5196p oozes Patek DNA with a modern twist and one little imperfection which I can forgive it for. And thanks to my lovely other half and me reaching the half century I can admire up close and per...
A perfect shot, as always.
This 5196P glows with such refined strength. I am sure you will be able to get this version back, one way or another.
Absolutely agree with you dear Nicolas! This is the Calatrava of…
… my dreams! The most beautiful of all ! That superb dial with Breguet numbers is to die for. In my wish list. Hopefully will arrive some day! Great shots as usual my friend. Cheers! Abel
