Our remarks

Patek Philippe Calatrava – Ref. 5226G-001 – 18k White Gold – Box & Papers – 2022 – Full Set – New-Like — WEMPE, Germany 

We are pleased to present this exceptional Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5226G-001, a contemporary reinterpretation of one of the most elegant and historically important dress watches ever created.

Introduced in 2022, the reference 5226G-001 marked a fresh and modern evolution of the legendary Calatrava collection, combining vintage-inspired aesthetics with the unmistakable refinement of Patek Philippe. Manufactured entirely in 18k white gold, the watch embodies understated sophistication while introducing a more casual and contemporary character rarely seen within the Calatrava line.

The 40 mm case features beautifully executed hobnail-style finishing along the caseband, a subtle tribute to historic Patek Philippe designs. Its charcoal grey textured dial displays a rich gradient effect, transitioning from lighter tones in the center to darker edges, creating remarkable depth and warmth. Applied white gold numerals with beige luminescent coating further enhance the vintage-inspired aesthetic while maintaining excellent legibility.

At the heart of the watch lies the self-winding calibre 26-330 S C, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. The movement is finished to the exceptional standards synonymous with Patek Philippe, featuring Geneva striping, beveled edges, and a solid gold rotor. Renowned for its precision, reliability, and refined architecture, it perfectly complements the timeless elegance of the piece.

Since its release, the reference has been praised by collectors for successfully blending classical Calatrava DNA with a modern and more relaxed design language, making it one of the most sought-after recent introductions from Patek Philippe.

- Original Patek Philippe presentation box & outer box
