I prefer the 5227 compared to the 6196

I didn’t like the previous 5227s.. but for the salmon version, they make the bezel abit thicker.. I think it did wonders to the look.. The issue it I find the hands and markers to be really black.. it was quite jarring when I tried it..

To used the old cliche, similar yet so different!

Calatrava perfection! Each with their majestic charm! While the 5227G is (for me at least) the more rugged and practical younger brother, the 6196P remains my favourite. Not because of the metal, but the simplicity to which heightens its romanticism.

The new 5227G

Patek Philippe released a new white gold variant of its Date & Sweep Seconds Officer's-style Calatrava : ref. 5227G-015 . credit: @chrono24 - photo captured by @nachoconde The first thing that is striking is the similarity in color and style to the pl

Interesting take.

I also thought I would not like the 6196 until I tied it on. Now I am thinking of getting it and rotating out my 5296.

I completely understand how you feel about the 5396,

even if I feel a little differently. I wanted to love the 6196, but it didn't speak to me when I tried it on... Again, just a personal feeling.

Annual Calendar Reguator 5235G: an undervalued gem?

Let me be frank: I’m not a huge fan of Patek Philippe in general. (Ducks a barrage of rotten fruit.) Before you start flaming, let me tell you that I enjoy the level of finishing Patek applies to its higher end products and appreciate the quality of the b

Too big

I am very sad that Patek has increased the size of almost all it’s watches in the last years. There is almost nothing I would buy in the current lineup. If this or the 6196p were in 37 mm (the 6196 almost in 36.5 since it wears large) I would buy it in a

For me personally, the following three stand out:

1. 6105G-001: It dares to present a design they never did before. The Richard Mille for intellectuals, if you will... 2. 5810/1G-001: The 41mm size and the 240 microrotor movement makes this very compelling to me and I would love to own one (if that happe

Patek Calatrava Recs in Platinum in 34-36mm?

Hi all! I was curious if you had any patek calatrava recommendations in platinum from 34-36mm? I find that the modern 5196p and 6196p references are a tad too large for dress watches. I have a royal oak in 37mm and I think for a dress watch the 34-36mm si
