It certainly is....

Yep, definitely the best steel Calatrava yet, ...

... except for 5212A, 6007A and all other special edition steel Calatravas and those vintage steel Calatravas.

I agree

And as is too often the case, the best watch is a “limited edition”, unobtainable for the regular collector.

Ask Peter K for one :-)

Simplicity sells

The 5522 is definitely attractive and highly sought after due to its clean dial and limited production !

To me, an equal or a runner-up would be the 6007 with its light blue color and "checkered" pattern on the dial. Overall, a very close call !

Best Calatrava

I love this Calatrava just wish it would be made in 37mm! That would be a PP that I would buy.

That’s a really nice watch!

I saw it at the Patek Philippe exhibition in NYC. It kind of took me by surprise at first and I didn’t know what to think of it. Now I am very taken with it. One of the big selling Points for me is that it’s easy to read! I almost wish it was a manual -wi... 

Thank you all for your nice comments!

It’s funny how initially I was on the haunt for more complicated pieces, then years later one realizes that all one needs a simple timepiece that has that internal beauty that Patek knows and provides to collectors year after year.

According to Patek

history, Calatrava refers to a round simple timepiece inspired by Bauhaus design where form follows function. 5522 does correspond well to this description. It is however a modern Calatrava and differs from original 96. There should always be progression....

Very nice Watch-in my opinion one of the best modern steel Patek.

Looks very simple but it has great presence on the wrist and practical. A winner for sure!
