Patek Philippe Calatrava 5296G-010

About This Watch

The Patek Philippe Calatrava 5296G-010 with blue sunburst dial is one of the most wearable and elegant Calatravas in the current collection. Its 38mm diameter hits a sweet spot between vintage restraint and modern presence, and the automatic caliber 324 S C eliminates the need for daily winding. The blue sunburst dial adds a contemporary vibrancy to the classic Calatrava form, with the radial brushing creating a play of light that changes constantly throughout the day. Applied gold baton hour markers and dauphine hands in white gold complement the clean dial layout. The date aperture at 3 o'clock is seamlessly integrated into the dial design. The 5296 features a slightly concave bezel profile that gives the case a distinctive depth when viewed in profile. The caliber 324 S C is one of Patek Philippe's most refined movements, with the central rotor bearing a 21-karat gold weight decorated with the Calatrava cross. At 8.92mm thick, the watch sits close to the wrist with understated elegance. This Calatrava appeals to those who want Patek Philippe dress watch elegance with the convenience of automatic winding and the modern appeal of a blue sunburst dial.
