Thank you, mdg. it looks fit on photo. In real life, I actually wish it is slightly bigger, somewhere in between 5821 and 7128.

Surprisingly quick delivery of new platinum Calatrava!

Thanks my new AD for allocating the novelty to me so quickly, even before the traditional watch viewing event…. The rose-gilt opaline (aka salmon) dial has a nice dome shape (difficult to be shown in wrist shot), resembling vintage dress watch. The windin...

Surprisingly quick delivery of new platinum Calatrava!

For me arguably the best looking all round modern Calatrava!

Thank you, KC. I have been dreaming of getting a platinum 96 for such a long time.

I was just going to add 5196P as a close runner to the modern C iteration (IMO of course)!

Gongrats!

Thank you, Musto. I think they usually use gold as hands and indices, no matter of the metal of the case.

Yes i know

I think black/ anthracite has a higher contrast than silver against the salmon dial, therefore will increase the legibility.

Wow wow wow my friend

Thank you, my friend. It so happens to come early.

Congratulations.. looks good on your wrist

Thank you, Yming.

Great "old money" Calatrava

Thank you, EDJA. The 96 style is indeed iconic and classic😊

Congratulations, it really looks very nice!

Thank you, Emmanuel. It’s indeed charming.

Legibility?

The contrast between salmon dial and black/ anthracite indices is good enough to read even at evening time. No worries 😉

Congratulations, a fantastic watch !!

Thank you, Jlux. Hope it will become a future classic

Congrats 👍! Looks Awesome 👌

Thank you. Salman

Huge congratulations this is great!

Thank you, Derreck. It has been on my wrist for 24 hrs since getting out of AD…..

Very cool new release

Thank you, CarFan. It’s indeed a perfect daily dress watch.

Congratulations 🎉

Thank you, Armis. Yes, the salmon colour of 6196P, 5236P and 5270P are almost or exactly identical

Wow ! Congrats !!

Thank you, Robin. It’s indeed a nice surprise just in time before the Easter holiday!

Blessed Easter my friend !

You have a v good memory, my friend.

Yes great memory Henry !

Congrats on getting this real stunner

Thank you, Yacomino. Glad that so many fellow purists like this reference too 😊

Pure class, restrained elegance.

Thank you, ZSHSZ. An elegant and simple reference indeed.

Beautiful watch. I think of this 6196p too but am not sure if it is big on my wrist. Do you know its lug to lug length?

Thank you, huydoan. It measures 48mm vertically from lug to lug

Thanks Henry.

The new Calatrava is the quintessential Patek in my view.

Thank you, Nasseriq. Hope it will be a future classic.

Congratulations, that is a beautiful three hander!

Thank you, Larry.

Stunning! Congrats!

Thank you, Aquaracer.

Congrats! That's a beautiful piece of art.

Calatrava is the cornerstone of PP.

I AM VERY JEALOUS HENRY!!! THIS WATCH IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE STARS FROM PP. HUGH CONGRATS

Thank you, Tony. Your approval means a lot to me.

Congratulations! Really beautiful this one.

Thank you, Champthekid.

congratulations Henry! the watch looks great on your wrist!

Thank you, Daren. It is indeed beautiful and simple on wrist. The novelty should arrive at AD very soon. Somehow this piece just arrived slightly early to my AD :)

i have the 5196R. would love to handle the 6196P and see if i need... er... want the 6196P 😅

Congrats -- that was fast!

Thank you, vital signs. It is indeed unexpected.

Nice! The Cubitus shown looks like a perfect fit...

Thank you, mdg. it looks fit on photo. In real life, I actually wish it is slightly bigger, somewhere in between 5821 and 7128.

Congratulations, Henry!!!🎊🎉🎈🍾 One of my favorite releases from W&W ‘25!!!🔥🔥🔥 Enjoy!!!🥂

Thank you, Mach!

Beautiful! You wear it well!

Thank you, spudsunderground. It wear very comfortably

Hi Henry, wonderful wrist-shot and congratulations !

Here you are, Gordon. “Triple-wristed” on the same side 😅

Well done Henry 👍

Wow Henry, congratulations, that was quick!

Thank you, David. I think the novelties should hit the ADs soon in all regions. The dial colour of the three platinum salmon references are almost or actually identical.

Fantastic Calatrava!

Thank you, Mrds. I am in the same boat as you, with 6119G on hand..... yet I am weak against this beauty :)

Well done, my friend!

Classy and beautiful! Enjoy!!

Thank you, Agyzace.

Wow. Beautiful Calatrava. Congratulations. Excellent time piece. 😊

Thank you, my friend. A perfect daily dress watch for me. It probably will have quite a lot of wrist time :)

Well chosen.
