The better white gold Calatrava in my opinion
By: sham1 : July 27th, 2019-23:26
would be the 5127G due its curved bezel and its 37mm diameter compared to the 38mm of the 5296G. The 5127G looks more refined in my opinion. The best Calatrava in my opinion though would be the 7200R-010 London Edition and the 5212A which was released thi...
7200 is ladies reference......

Hello Sham1, I don't mean to be rude but the 7200R-010 is a ladies watch. I could hardly wear this! The 5212 is amazing however I suspect the price with be super high! I don't have unlimited money or dealer connections........ I bought everything on the s...
Yes I know
By: sham1 : July 28th, 2019-00:29
but I have worn mine for the past 5 years quite happily. That photo is the watch on my wrist so where the normal production 7200R--001 has rose gold numerals and arrow hands, the London Edition version with its black Breguet hands and numerals make the wa...
The 5212 is priced reasonably

and on the used market, it is likely to command a premium. The only snag is the waiting list might be a little lengthy, not as bad as the Nautilus but perhaps a year or more.
Anything with 240

5120, 5000-6006 for caliber proportions
This 7200 London
By: Mr. M : July 28th, 2019-11:04
is the best version of Calatrava I have seen yet. Classy, classical and masculine. The only wrong thing about this is Pateks mistake positioning it as a women’s watch. Diameter and dial design makes it the perfect dress watch for a man as far as I can see...
Thank you for your comments!!

Yes the 33.2mm 5959 ultra thin split second chronograph was classified as a men's watch while the 33.7mm 7000R minute repeater was classified as a ladies watch. The 7200R London Edition was 34.6mm and had been classified as a ladies watch while the 35mm 5...
Yes, let the customer decide.

Even the 7118 nautilus can be worn by men as a medium sized sport watch if you don’t care about the women’s classification. Especially the smoke grey dial looks very appealing. Don’t know about the demand for the women’s nautilus, but renaming these to me...
Agreed!

Not too keen on the dial of the 7118 but the size is ideal for many men.
5127
By: COUNT DE MONET : July 28th, 2019-02:59
It is a well sized classic watch. The crown quards make it more interesting. The 5296 is also very nice but the 5127 has a sporty feel additionally to the classic feel.
5127
By: watch-er : July 28th, 2019-06:10
is the classic watch to me. And, it has a more traditional font. The font on the 5296 is too big. Plus the 5296 wears very big and the bezel is easily scratched and dented right at the corner which results in reflections from light making the dent far mor...
The 5127 and 5296 are my two favorite Pateks
By: JohnFM : July 28th, 2019-11:02
I've always loved the classic simplicity of both. With various stainless steel watches, I would love to own a Patek in rose gold, for its beauty but also to pair with my late father's Scottish crest ring. I'm torn between the two. The 5296 is more simple,...
Stealth stunner
By: MausOnline : March 26th, 2022-12:36
I love how it looks on the taupe strap. Makes the 5127 a stealth stunner, only the owner and those who know, know.
I honestly love both!
By: KCLQMULKU : March 26th, 2022-22:06
But if I am forced to choose then it will be the 5296 for its case.
