Wait to discover the 5227P in the future ;-)))
Very nice case from Patek. Cheers, Patrickh
Yes, I'm quite curious to see what dial color they will choose
as the 5227G already has a lacquered black dial... With its fantastic case and officer's caseback, the Pt version will be a very interesting piece in the 3 hands Calatravas from these last decades. Cheers, Mark
I will ask tomorrow in Patek if the would make me
a special order 5227P in platinum. Because I know the answer in advance, I feel safe to ask. But it is always a pleasure to see how Patek is refusing in a most polite way. LOL. Kari
Yes, they have decades of training :)
This Pt version is going to be very interesting. The caseback is a specific feature from this reference and as thin and discreet as it is, it is a stunning example of craftmanship. Now, what dial color will they be using (or allowing you to chose)... look...
This ref is definitely a beauty
The shape of the case is indeed very sensual like delicately carved. The thing that disturbs me in this model is the single index at 12. It is probably supposed to be a touch of modernity but I find it odd, in my eyes it is simply really missing... But to...
+1! I like it but.....
Would have been even better with a larger markings at 12. Best Blomman
Yes, the case is marvellously designed
And about the markers, I think it is all about our background. When used to vintage or more older references, when 12 markers were indicated differently (usually doubled), it is harder to see it single. Personally, I'm used to both, equally. Thus I find t...
Exactly, still so with a touch of modernity
or less traditional. My pleasure Ronald Cheers, Mark
This reference is so beautiful Mark....
I think it would get even more love if Patek offered it with brands bracelet. Something subtle and lite. Best regards Edward
Indeed a very charming watch
Very good base to play with straps For the bracelet, it could be interesting but the bracelet would have to be very well designed. Who knows in the future Cheers, Mark
Yes I agree....
well designed bracelet that could interchange with a strap. Best Regards Edward
IMHO 5227 is easily the nicest of the time only Calatravas
Just re read your original post, which was great on the 5227!! While I agree that the case is what most obviously makes it very special, for me the lacquered creme dial is equally important. And I think that dial works best in the R, which is my favorite ...
I agree
This was a very interesting experience when I discovered it. Thanks for your comments about my post! We often say Patek is a lot about refined details, this reference is indeed a very good example of that. You're right to mention the dial finish: somethin...
Just arrived. White gold. Simple elegance.
Imo the while gold with the ivory face shows the vintage look perfectly. I personally think the white gold is more understated than the rose gold or yellow gold but they're all sublime. And the back is a show stopper. Photos cannot capture the sparkle of ...
beautiful watch but oops....
my focus shifted to the 5235G in background, a great watch imho... is it in stock @ Paris boutique ? Best, mahesh.,
Well, it was a long time ago when I made the try of hte 5227R
You can always give them a call, it is indeed a great reference as well.
call @ Paris boutique...
bad luck, they informed the model is most probably discontinued & he don't see a supply of it coming any further :-( i think it is a wonderful watch... best, mahesh.,
