Sure...NOT! :-)

You should observe better the dials of the watches to realise how different they are and how better made is that of the vintage model ref. 570 (look at the position of the sub seconds dial in relative to the border of the dial, for instance, which says a lot about the proportions between the two different movements and the cases housing them).
Then, if we open the case back and give a look at inside the case, we'll discover a huge difference between the two watches. Where in the ref. 570 there is a stunning gorgeous and beautifully refinished 12-120, in the 5196 there is a poor cheap bread and butter JLC818 (aka PP215).
I don't even post the pictures of the back of the two watches just for mercy
No, unfortunately the watches Patek was used to don't exist anymore neither they still do it. And in the case of this stunning ref. 570, a true Graal for any vintage Patek serious collector, perhaps one of the best conceived and less conventional Calatrava ever made, even less.
