A dated Calatrava is very practical. These don't get much attention from the PP collectors, but I collect them as well as the non-date versions.

they are all automatic cal. 3998G() 3558G() 5107/1g() 5127/1g() 3514/1g() 5227G() 5296G(324sc)sector 5229G later dial ...  

Love this collection, the 5227 is my favorite Patek of all time. Also rare to see these on bracelet, especially looking so well worn - thanks for sharing!

I think this type of Grand Seiko has nicer lugs than the modern version, I prefer this too

That ivory dial is just as nice!!!

 
 By: Reuven Malter : April 5th, 2024-13:31

I love all these.

But especially the 3558g. The seconds subdial makes it such a classic and interesting watch.

Regarding the 3558, this is the first time I've met someone who mentions a second small circle instead of a straight lug. thank you.

Thank you.

I love that design. And don’t get me wrong, the lugs are 🔥🔥🔥.

There's nothing dated

about a Calatrava! Sorry, I just had to do this. Beautiful collection, sir. Cheers Marc

I prefer the no date versions, but damn, your collection is amazing!

No cheap dates in that crowd.

Lovely collection 👌🏻

5127/1G and 5296G Sector are my favorite ones. Actually, the 5127/1G could perfectly be a 1-watch collection alone. Cheers!

I think the 5127/1g is a truly excellent watch. It is more traditional than the similar 5107, more practical and yet more artistic. I wish PP would bring back this watch.

That's a nice wish for W&W 🤔

Actually, I don't see any Calatrava on bracelet anymore in the catalogue...

I’ve always admired the 3998… crisp design, such perfect proportions

 
 By: j.jota : April 4th, 2024-16:44

Yes, it has perfect proportions as you say. Moreover, 3998 is a smaller size that is more preferable than 5296.

Impressive collection!

another amazing part of your wonderful collection I love that ref ? 3415 with mesh bracelet

 
 By: watch-guy.com : April 4th, 2024-20:11

thank you. I thought 3514 had a somewhat ordinary design, but the moment I saw this mesh bracelet, I instantly fell in love with it.

Your collection of dated Calatravas is amazing, and these watches are

similar and yet so different. Thanks for sharing👍 It must be a challenge to select which one(s) to wear😅

That's right
