MODERN CLASSIC AESTHETICS

BASED ON THE ROUND, streamlined case shape that has made Calatrava models much-beloved icons of classic watchmaking since 1932, Patek Philippe has seen fit to introduce brand new design language to an exemplar of clean Bauhaus aesthetics.

With its pure lines, the Calatrava is recognized as the very essence of the round wristwatch and one of the finest symbols of the Patek Philippe style. Last year, this heritage reference was updated with the Patek Philippe Calatrava “Clous de Paris” 6119 Hand-Wound, which put the maison's trademark hobnail decorative finishing front and centre.

New Patek Philippe Calatrava - One For The Next Generation

For Watches & Wonders 2022, the unmistakable guilloché hobnail bezel with thin, polished fillet that frames the box-form sapphire crystal has been reworked, and now moved to the case-band. By adorning the flanks of the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G instead, designers have been able to extend the guilloché Clous de Paris around the midcase via a special case construction technique where the lugs form an integral part of the case back.
