I figured I would be dead by the time I get a call!😆
That is hilarious Mark! Thanks so much for the pics and write up. This is really the only PP I’m interested in. Your summary confirms my initial impressions (without seeing in the metal yet). I imagined it would wear bigger due to thin bezel, and that is too bad about broad lug to lug measurement. But overall a very attractive novelty! 👍🏻
Some live shots of the Patek Philippe Calatrava 6196P . . .
Besides the 5226G, this is the other Calatrava that really got my attention! About a month ago, I finally found a boutique that actually had one to see in the flesh! Even with the plastic on, the contrasting hands and indices against the salmon dial creat...
This latest Calatrava iteration really does pop.
Just an amazing ensemble of dial colour, dial layout, case, and movement!
I had tried it on at an AD in NYC and can say that it impresses much more in the metal as compared to pictures.
Pictures were nice, as well as ‘idea’ of salmon. But when I saw on my wrist, it was a clear winner. You described it perfectly.
From my photos, yes!
Bout don’t forget the plastic and the ever challenging boutique lighting conditions that don’t help capture the true colors!
Saw the new Calatrava three days ago at the LA boutique . . .
. . . and, for the first time ever, thought "Hmmm, a new Patek I could actually feel comfortable with in my collection." Thanks for sharing wrist shots, Mach. I didn't try it on, so your pics are the next best thing. Art

I should clarify . . .
I will either be dead or bankrupt with these crazy prices lately!🤪
It appears Patek has executed a piece that finally grabbed the attention of ‘Patek observers,’ Jesse!
I’m not saying I’m not a fan of Patek. But this has clearly got a lot of us paying more attention to the brand, myself included!
The dial is really great 👍
I liked it when I had it in the metal during W&W ! On the wrist, the size Is a bit big for me & you, but not too big 😃 Best of luck with your allocation !💪
Thank you for sharing these photos and your experience.
From what you say and what the photos show, I'm not sure this watch would fit my small wrist very nicely. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you for sharing with us your thoughts on this beauty, Mach.
You read my mind that I find it really difficult to part with it. It’s still going with me all around 😅 Cheers, Henry
