- Introduced in 2005, the reference 5296 is a modern interpretation of the Calatrava, inspired by vintage models from the 1930’s. It was first introduced in sleek 38mm white gold case, followed by a subsequent variant in pink gold.

- Encased in white gold, the present timepiece boasts a highly appealing sectorial design, executed in a captivating two-tone manner. The inclusion of the Arabic 5-minute markers along the periphery further contributes to its classic vintage aesthetic, seamlessly complementing the date display at 3 o’clock.

- Offered in attractive condition and accompanied by its complete set of accessories, the present specimen is a timeless classic not to be missed by the discerning collectors. This Calatrava will surely remain a coveted classic for many years to come.
