As iconic as one could ask for in the calatrava line, fingers crossed they don't discontinue it before then....
Question for 5119 owners?
Did it initially take some getting used to i.e. telling time in the absence of minute markers? Would you much prefer the dial layout of the 5196 instead?
There are people who go for minute markers. And people who don't much care about the exact time , they are happy estimating the time. Being not too exact.
Go for what you like 5119 vs 5196. You will feel good with a calatrava on your wrist. My opinion. Best wishes and good luck. Geross.

Thank you both
Just doing my due diligence, as i've had my share of buyers remorse. What draws me to the 5119 is definitely the open case back and distinctness of the bezel.
In that case
get the 5119. You will not regret it. In fact, I am thinking of getting a 5119R or 5116R in 2017 or early 2018. The watch is slim and I think the size is elegant. Some people do not like the hob nail bezel. That bezel identifies the watch with Patek Phili...

I am sure they will bring out something else worth purchasing! I have total faith in Patek
