A very nice Calatrava!
Jan 02, 2012,07:48 AM
Do you know what's the movement? Is it 177?
Funny how watches just a bit over a decade ago were so much smaller. Anyhow, I have started to understand these smaller size watches and it feels a bit stupid when so many modern watches are having so much empty space inside the case.
Best, Kari

By: dr.kol : January 1st, 2012-11:34
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL PURISTS! The new year 2012 will also be the 80th Anniversary of Calatrava. Let's have a Roll Call . Show us your Calatrava. In our community we should have a great collection. Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time, ref. 5134G is my se...
this one as well......
By: Sandgroper : January 5th, 2012-08:48
Geeee, Nicolas. I saw it yesterday at PP in Geneva, an absolute beauty, sits bigger than its 37mm on the wrist, a timepiece which definitely talks lauder in the "flesh" than the pictures. Hope you're well. Perhaps a cafe in Paris next week? Kind regards F...
Yes !

Hi Nico, If I had one to post, it would have been this one. A design of the dial so deliciously old school, plenty of charm... Very difficult to shoot anyway, because on pictures this watch seems to be fade and cold, without character. In reality, light m...

I have the same idea.
By: dr.kol : January 2nd, 2012-03:01
A matching watch for the wife is really nice. Now we have matching Reversos, matching Breguets and Matching Golden Ellipse. Calatravas are on the list. Best, Kari
An older Calatrava....

I agree!

Your black dialed Calatrava is a beauty indeed. Best, Kari

Cold in Malta?
By: dr.kol : January 2nd, 2012-07:05
I guess you don't know what cold means! Here it's raining ICE and that combined with strong wind is really cold. Anyhow, these sector dials are very nice and my next Calatrava will be either 5196P or 5296G. Best, Kari

Great, you have the options

to wear with bracelet or leather strap and the bracelet is a big plus. Cheers,dreamer
Spot the Calatrava
By: Nomer : January 2nd, 2012-14:43
Only one Calatrava here - the older officer pre-dates the Calatrava line by a few years. All the best and thanks for the question Kari. p.s. Nice to see another 5053 in white gold in this thread; hard to come by....
Very nice.
By: dr.kol : January 2nd, 2012-23:26
What would you think about the same with dark blue dial? Best, Kari
Funny how the case looks big on your wrist
By: amanico : January 2nd, 2012-23:27
While you have not a small wrist, and while the 6000 is not a big watch. I love a lot the case on this one. More macho than on other Caltravas, still elegant. Nice picture, too! Best, Nicolas.
I love this watch!
By: patrick_y : January 7th, 2012-14:38
Great photo of your beautiful 6000G! A little surprising it is on its original strap this time! Enjoy!
5120 is my first Patek.
By: dr.kol : January 3rd, 2012-10:41
I bought it in yellow gold because WG was not available. For some reason I ordered a bracelet after having the watch just for a couple of weeks and later Patek changed the dial. Even the watch is just 35 mm, it does not feel small on the wrist. Thanks to ...

I agree, what a beauty!
By: dr.kol : January 6th, 2012-21:51
It's so simple, so pure - not too big, not too small. Perfect in it's own class. Best, Kari

Enamel dial?
By: johnswatch1 : April 1st, 2012-23:23
The 96 is my favourite model and yours has just become my favourite 96. Simply stunning! Please tell me you still wear it regularly.
yes
By: johnngym : April 2nd, 2012-02:04
this is enamel dial. i do not wear it on a regular basis.. John
It's a beauty!
By: dr.kol : April 2nd, 2012-01:01
Is it having an email dial? Best, Kari
5134g (Travel Time)
By: descartes1 : April 3rd, 2012-19:15
Here's the latest (but now discontinued) version of the 5134g ("Travel Time")...
Nice!
By: dr.kol : April 3rd, 2012-22:44
I think 5134 is one of the most useful complications of Patek. With World Time it is difficult to travel to west but 5134 is very easy to use and it is also very readable. Enjoy yours. Best, Kari
Thank you a lot!
By: dr.kol : April 21st, 2012-07:42
This is not something we see every day. What is the material? Best, Kari
It's steel.

More watches needed!
By: dr.kol : April 21st, 2012-23:38
I published this picture a short while ago. And still one more Calatrava: I'm sure that there are still lots of Calatravas which are not shown here yet. Best, Kari...
