Thanks. It's not a common dial.
I think this is my only watch with Romans, but I think the shinny, applied RG Romans add a nice touch on this one..
Sparkling older Calatrava joins my collection
Being a Patek fan, I owned 1 Aquanaut and 2 World Time over the years. I still own a 5711. One day I decided that my collection couldn’t live without another PP, so I started searching for a Calatrava, one that is easy to tell the time, has out-of-the-ord...

Thank you Ron
It is in fact a JLC, which I fortunately found and enjoy so much. Best. René

looks wonderful! 👍 Do not see this often ! Please tell us more about this reference.
Thanks. And that guilloche dial is what first caught my eye.
I also tried to find more info on it. The PP experts might be able to help. What I know is it's a PP 5022R-001 (R for RG). Made from 1997 until 2003. Manual-wind caliber 215 PS (I believe PS because of the small seconds). It came in 3 golds + platinum. No...
Ahh, it is a beauty and I hope you can find one.
There are hundreds of Calatravas if you do a search on Google, but this one is not very common to begin with, although a few showed up online here on in Japan. Unfortunately, most were either sold out already or did not come with papers. So I had to keep ...
