Thanks, Suitbert
Suitbert,
You are right, of course. I spoke hastily and should have said: a dial
similar to that in the 5127. I suppose the dimensions, in particular
the outer diameter, of the 5296 010 dial are also different from
those of the 5127 dial (e.g. because the 5127 measures 37 mm, whereas
the 5298 measures 38 mm).
By the way:
1) I always very much enjoy yours photo's, info, and ' scoops'; many thanks for sharing!
2) Do you know whether the case of the 5296 010 is rhodium-plated? I
read somewhere that Patek finally yielded and gave up this
plating nonsense (if you'll pardon my French). I know that
rhodium is more white or bright, but IMHO white gold 'as such' is nice
too.
Best,
Rainer

New Calatrava model
Hi all, thanks to Suitbert, we have an excellent glimpse into the new Patek models coming in. The Calatrava model that looks like a 5107 or 5127... The difference I can see is that it does not have crown guards. Questions: Can we have more details on that...

Is this new?
Thanks for the photo. Is this new - and what is the diameter? Having a list price would be even better. Where did you get the photo from? Best David
David, here're some more pictures and some info....
Hi, it's an addition to the 5296g-001 and 5296r-001 base reference and is called 5296g-010 and 5296r-010 (second part of reference obviously indicating the different dial ). Prices of mens models are posted above in seperate thread - for this specific ref...
Not that simple....
Hello, Rainer, not that it would be the most difficult thing on earth to produce a new dial But in this case it's not only the 5127 dial put in the 5296 case - if you look at it closely, specifically where the date window is compared to the minuterie dots...
