Minimalistic in design and sophisticated in execution, the ref. 5196P-001 was launched in 2004 as a modern iteration of the original Calatrava ref. 96. The applied white gold Breguet numerals and Feuille hands are exclusive of the platinum model. Extremely charming and a perfect balance between the old and new, this platinum Calatrava hits collector’s soft spot with its beautiful applied Breguet numerals. The elegance of the 5196P lies in the subtle changes within its monochromatic dial – a two-tone silvery grey executed in both sun-burst and matte finishes. The same contrast can be found on the case with brushed case bands and polished bezels. Powered by the manual-winding movement cal. 215 PS with Patek Philippe seal, the movement is thin and compliments the overall slim and discreet aesthetic of the watch. Without the need for ostentatious display, the movement resides comfortably within a solid caseback that is in-line with the original Calatrava models. Most importantly, this example is still sealed in its original factory packaging. Preserved in pristine condition and fresh-to-the-market, this is one of the best modern Calatrava by Patek Philippe.
