PATEK PHILIPPE CALATRAVA 1932-2012
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 second Calatrava and I like it a lot. The only problem is that the two hour hands are too similar and that problem was fixed in the final version of 5134.
However, as a normal one-timezone watch this was is very readable. Here is mine:
How does your favorite Calatrava look like?
Best, Kari

Sadly gone, but not forgotten.
5196P: Didn't know you had this 5134G, Kari. Cool watch! Best, Nicolas....
Your ex-5196P is in my short dream list.
In my eyes it's the nicest Calatrava in the current collection. Perhaps next year... Best, Kari
this one as well......
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...
His and hers
My 5127 And my wife's calatrava: This message has been edited by w220 on 2012-01-01 15:44:02...
I have the same idea.
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....

Your Calatrava with Breguet numerals
is very nice but rarely seen. Enjoy it! Best, Kari
And another . . .
I slowly acquired the taste for this one, which pleases me greatly. Park...
This type of Calatrava looks even better
without the date. This is the first time I see this version; thanks for showing. Best, Kari
Cold in Malta?
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
WOW! That is a superb Wristshot, John! Sensual and beautiful.
Even for a non colored gold guy like me. Best, Nicolas
Patek 3820R ultra-thin.
Patek 3820R ultra-thin in rose gold. 32mm... fancy lugs. Rose gold case, rose gold minute dropplets on light creme dial, Bruguet hands and numbers but IMPORTANT that the numbers are less italics than standard production version (in other words, non-standa...
A very nice Calatrava!
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...
Yes, movement is Patek Philippe Caliber 177/02, extra-thin. .nt.
Yes, the movement is a Patek Philippe Caliber 177/02, extra-thin. nt
My two calatrava. Ref 96 and the inimitable ref 2526
The 2526 is still the king ! And you know what Mel brooks said about the king...
Very nice Calatravas Julian
The bracelet on the 2526 . Can it removed ? Cheers,dreamer
Hi , yes it can but I do not have the appropriate leather strap so I wear
It with the gold band. Julian
Great, you have the options
to wear with bracelet or leather strap and the bracelet is a big plus. Cheers,dreamer
Spot the Calatrava
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....
Funny how the case looks big on your wrist
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!
Great photo of your beautiful 6000G! A little surprising it is on its original strap this time! Enjoy!
5120 is my first Patek.
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!
It's so simple, so pure - not too big, not too small. Perfect in it's own class. Best, Kari
My only venture into the Calatrava world.........
Was with a 5196G But one day I may get another one,such as the beautiful 5127 or 5107...
Enamel dial?
The 96 is my favourite model and yours has just become my favourite 96. Simply stunning! Please tell me you still wear it regularly.
5134g (Travel Time)
Here's the latest (but now discontinued) version of the 5134g ("Travel Time")...
Nice!
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!
This is not something we see every day. What is the material? Best, Kari
More watches needed!
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...
