  • Catalogue Essay

    Released in 2004, the ref. 5196 is a modern take on the original Calatrava ref. 96. Simplicity at its best, the ref. 5196 encapsulates the very essence of the Calatrava dress watch with pure lines and refined proportion. Fitted with an understated and minimal silver dial, the slim pink gold case case delivers maximum comfort on the wrist.

    Offered in “like-new” condition and complete with its full accessories, this present example is fresh-to-the-market and the 17th example in the pink metal to be identified. A rare and timeless classic for collectors seeking for supreme elegance and perfection, this ref. 5196R is the perfect choice.

  • Artist Biography

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
