Happy to add a 5196P to my humble collection.

I was not expecting that. I always think it's very handsome (thanks to the pictures our forum members kept posting and posioning me). I was browsing around for another watch and accidentially spotted this beauty during the window shopping. Full set, fair ...  

Congratulations !!

This is a superb catch. Always loved this reference.

Yes, strange.

The quintessential Calatrava.

 
 By: mrds : February 8th, 2022-08:36
Amazing how much elegance can be packed into a 37mm space!

Well put! Thanks!

It’s an absolutely mesmerising watch for all the reasons you state. This is a purchase you will not regret and your children if you have them will certainly be glad you made. Enjoy and keep the pictures coming. M.

Thank you!

The dial is an all-time great

 
 By: blau : February 8th, 2022-11:46
I agree exactly about the wearing size. I think it's the only 37mm watch I've ever worn that felt too big for me!

Thank you for your kind words!

 
 By: Musigny82 : February 9th, 2022-09:41

I am lucky, thank you!

 
 By: Musigny82 : February 9th, 2022-09:42

Nice find, congratulations. I like that dial,

Thank you very much!

A serendipitous encounter with an awesome PP Calatrava. Congrats on getting it.

 
 By: vitalsigns : February 8th, 2022-14:42
Pure and simple PP. And under-the-radar, just like I prefer. Cheers, John

Agree!!

 By: Francoamerican : February 8th, 2022-23:27
I was too hung up on the small movement size but now regret that sentiment

thanks - those are wise words!

 
 By: Francoamerican : February 9th, 2022-21:43

Big fan of this ref.

 
 By: TeutonicCarFan : February 8th, 2022-23:50
Always crossed my mind as something to add to the collection. Enjoy!

Thank you will do!

 
 By: Musigny82 : February 9th, 2022-09:44

Thanks for this great post and AMAZING photos.

 
 By: BuffaloWatch : February 9th, 2022-01:21
I have this watch and also, a small wrist. It does appear big for the reasons you say and maybe, too, because as a more formal watch you would think it should feel and fit smaller than it does. I've been thinking about changing out the dressy strap for so... 

You mean this?

 
 By: Musigny82 : February 9th, 2022-09:54
...  

Yes, that is really cool.

 
 By: BuffaloWatch : February 9th, 2022-13:13
Beside everything good that's been said about this watch, add "versatile" to the list.

Congratulations

 
 By: takman : February 9th, 2022-04:20
This one is a beauty and a keeper, nice photos too!

Thanks!

It is so beautiful. Elegant and sleek.

Hi Nigel, 5196P is the epitome of Patek DNA !

 
 By: GLau : February 9th, 2022-19:41
ThIs reference is classy, a classic and understated. Great reference for Patek collectors to enjoy under the radar.

Sizing 5196

And what is your wrist size? If I may ask... mine is 16-16.5 cm and it wears perfectly!
