Just over a month with my 5196p now……..

Oct 11, 2021,16:49 PM
 

And I’m struggling to take it off. Apart from to go swimming 😜.
I’ve finally managed to get close to a NICO quality picture to do this incredible watch dial justice.
I just love its simple beauty.
The colours are subtly striking and the dial with the studs, Breguet numerals and wonderful seconds counter is absolute genius. The Exquisitely delicate hands complete the grown up watch perfectly.
And to top it off not a bit of lume anywhere.
Can you tell I like this watch???? A lot.
Happy Monday all. Now all I have to do is grow up 😜

Yes having sentimental value always gives a watch the edge. M.

The numerals really look 3D from this angle.

Very nice

I love this watch which is my favorite among modern Calatravas. I hope I will get one for my collection in a near future. It has been haunting my soul for so long. Keep enjoying and loving it so much Miles! Cheers Abel

Great picture, Sir!

Really shows why it’s such a great watch…

This watch has some flaws

but it is darn near to the perfect dress watch. It will easily remain one of the great classics for the next 50 years. I remember when it was released many moons ago, I thought Patek was unfair to keep the best dials for the platinum versions, making them... 

Timeless classic! Perfect capture of your dial!

But for me these days it’s more about the pictures. I am about tonight to meet in Mallorca another watch guy and there will be a post coming soon. M.
