Patek Philippe - Calatrava 40mm 5226G SS/LE Grey/Num GRF MY9015 Mod

GRF Release – Patek Philippe Calatrava Series Ref. 5226G-001

Size: 40mm

Case: The Patek Philippe Calatrava series is renowned for its rounded, flowing case shape. This design has been updated, featuring the iconic "Clous de Paris" guilloche pattern on the case's edge, an elegant nod to Patek Philippe's signature style first reintroduced in the 2021 Ref. 6119 Calatrava model. The case construction seamlessly integrates the lugs with the case back, allowing the Clous de Paris motif to fully encompass the case sides.

Dial: A charcoal-gray dial with a vintage gradient that darkens toward the edges evokes the look of antique camera housings. The dial includes applied white gold indexes with beige luminescent coating, along with discreet "railway-style" second markers. The white gold syringe-style hour and minute hands are also luminescent. A date window at 3 o’clock features beige numerals on a black background.

Movement: The modified Caliber 26-330 S C is intricately crafted, with chamfered and polished bridges, fish-scale and Geneva wave patterns, and gold-plated engravings. Each detail has been meticulously finished, bearing Patek Philippe’s signature double "P" mark for authenticity and quality.

Straps: The Ref. 5226G-001 offers two interchangeable calfskin straps: one in beige suede and the other in black with embossed texture and beige stitching. Both straps come with white gold pin buckles and feature quick-release spring bars for easy strap changes.

After the 5296 was discontinued, this Calatrava Ref. 5226G-001 offers a stunning three-hand watch with classic sophistication and elegance.
