Yes the 33.2mm 5959 ultra thin split second chronograph was classified as a men's watch while the 33.7mm 7000R minute repeater was classified as a ladies watch. The 7200R London Edition was 34.6mm and had been classified as a ladies watch while the 35mm 5120 using the same movement as the 7200 was classified as a men's watch. Similarly the new 7234R pilot watch at 37.5mm is classified as a ladies watch but it will fit most men. My view is that Patek should stop classifying watches as men's or ladies'. Let the customer decide. The new Twenty Four for example despite the bezel being surrounded by diamonds measures 36mm in diameter and would appeal to men in a number of cultures.
Please note that the 33.5mm 3919 Calatrava for men was only discontinued in 2007.

WHAT IS THE BEST CALATRAVA? 5127 or 5296 ?
Hello Patek Calatrava Lovers, What is the best White Gold Calatrava? Which is better? ...
The better white gold Calatrava in my opinion
would be the 5127G due its curved bezel and its 37mm diameter compared to the 38mm of the 5296G. The 5127G looks more refined in my opinion. The best Calatrava in my opinion though would be the 7200R-010 London Edition and the 5212A which was released thi...
7200 is ladies reference......
Hello Sham1, I don't mean to be rude but the 7200R-010 is a ladies watch. I could hardly wear this! The 5212 is amazing however I suspect the price with be super high! I don't have unlimited money or dealer connections........ I bought everything on the s...
Yes I know
but I have worn mine for the past 5 years quite happily. That photo is the watch on my wrist so where the normal production 7200R--001 has rose gold numerals and arrow hands, the London Edition version with its black Breguet hands and numerals make the wa...
The 5212 is priced reasonably
and on the used market, it is likely to command a premium. The only snag is the waiting list might be a little lengthy, not as bad as the Nautilus but perhaps a year or more.
This 7200 London
is the best version of Calatrava I have seen yet. Classy, classical and masculine. The only wrong thing about this is Pateks mistake positioning it as a women’s watch. Diameter and dial design makes it the perfect dress watch for a man as far as I can see...

Yes, let the customer decide.
Even the 7118 nautilus can be worn by men as a medium sized sport watch if you don’t care about the women’s classification. Especially the smoke grey dial looks very appealing. Don’t know about the demand for the women’s nautilus, but renaming these to me...
Personally I'll go for the crown guard plus rounded bezel - exclusive vintage feel ! [nt]
Beautiful choice you’ve got !!
5127
It is a well sized classic watch. The crown quards make it more interesting. The 5296 is also very nice but the 5127 has a sporty feel additionally to the classic feel.
5127
is the classic watch to me. And, it has a more traditional font. The font on the 5296 is too big. Plus the 5296 wears very big and the bezel is easily scratched and dented right at the corner which results in reflections from light making the dent far mor...
The 5127 and 5296 are my two favorite Pateks
I've always loved the classic simplicity of both. With various stainless steel watches, I would love to own a Patek in rose gold, for its beauty but also to pair with my late father's Scottish crest ring. I'm torn between the two. The 5296 is more simple,...
In the context of your collection I really like the 5127g
In the context of your collection I really like the 5127g also don’t care for the silicon balance spring in the 324 - although I’m not certain your version has it.
The best Calatrava is the one on your wrist...
sort of like the prettiest lady is the one on your arm.
Love both 5127 and 5296 so have both
Pretty good value and beautiful pieces. Very happy with all my calatravas. ...
Stealth stunner
I love how it looks on the taupe strap. Makes the 5127 a stealth stunner, only the owner and those who know, know.
I honestly love both!
But if I am forced to choose then it will be the 5296 for its case.
