Catalogue Essay
The modern Reference 5196P pays tribute to Patek Philippe’s iconic Calatrava references 530s and 570s fitted with Breguet numerals from the 1930s to 1940s.
The epitome of a classical dress watch, this timepiece manages the subtle mix of Art Deco and Bauhaus in one watch with a wonderfully contemporary monochromatic dial. The dial is a work of art unto itself with its blend of polished and brushed surfaces, Breguet numerals and half pearl minute markers.
The elongated lugs, thin flat bezel and brushed case flanks provide for a very pleasant sophisticated slim look. In an interesting and anti-conformist move, Patek Philippe decided to do away with a sapphire crystal back and opted instead for a full caseback in- line with the original Calatrava models.
As with all modern platinum Patek Philippe timepieces, a discreet diamond between the lugs at 6 o'clock indicates the precious and rare metal case.
