Patek Philippe

New to the watchprosite, hello everyone. Thought I'd share a post of my Calatrava reference 5196R. I love its clean lines, simple elegance. To my eyes, the 5196 range is the most modern interpretation of the classic Calatrava references such as the 96 and...  

🙏

IMO they should make it also in yellow gold.

Patek has made a 5196J, unsure as to whether it is in current production.

You have exquisite taste! The 5196 is the epitome of discreet elegance and it looks great in any metal. Well done for capturing the watch beautifully.

Simple elegance are perfect words to describe this understated PP: one of the rare references that are very cool in each of the four iterations (even if I have a soft spot for the Pt version to be honest )

Congratulations on this beauty. It’s my favorite gold 5196. It’s clean and has such a vintage look and feel. Much has been said about the small movement, but the resulting seconds register being elevated allows for a 6 o’clock hour marker which, to my eye... 

This is a splendid choice and the epitome of timeless.

That’s a beautiful Calatrava and a Porsche in the background, the perfect combination.

Lovely to see your beautiful Calatrava! The size of this model is so wearable and I love how the markers are finished. Enjoy your stay here in our community. GEO

Welcome and congratulations on this wonderful addition! I love rose gold but I struggle with the attention, hence my preference for WG or platinum

Your 5196 is a classy and elegant piece. Great entrance ! Look forward to more of you posts.

Great addition. Congratulations!

Cheers, John

Surely will be deemed one of the all time greats
