Now available, a Patek Philippe Calatrava in platinum, reference 5196P-001.

Quite possibly the most quintessential modern Patek Philippe, the 5196P takes direct inspiration from the original Calatrava reference 96 of 1932, yet updates it ever so subtly for contemporary wear. Measuring 37mm, the platinum case is perfectly proportioned, slim and elegant, and a joy to wear on the wrist.

What sets the platinum variant apart is its dial: a stunning two-tone silvery-grey colour with applied Breguet numerals, reserved exclusively for this version of the reference. This subtle but distinctive flourish transforms the design, giving the watch a quiet sense of opulence while maintaining the restraint that defines the Calatrava line.

Inside beats the manual-winding calibre 215 PS, just 2.55mm thick, which allows the watch to retain its ultra-slim profile while offering a traditional small seconds display at 6 o’clock. It is this combination of purity, pedigree, and subtle detail that makes the 5196P one of the most important time-only references in Patek Philippe’s modern catalogue - a watch that is increasingly being recognised as a future classic.

In lightly worn condition and complete with its entirety of accessories from new, the watch is available for viewing in London and purchase worldwide. Please get in touch for further information.
