About this watch
Patek Philippe Calatrava Watch - 5196J-001
Launched in 2005 as a direct descendant of the legendary reference 96 from 1932, the 5196J-001 represents Patek Philippe's most faithful interpretation of Bauhaus-inspired dress watch design within the modern Calatrava lineage. This particular example showcases the collection's signature white lacquered dial paired with a 37mm yellow gold case, dimensions that perfectly echo the proportional elegance established by the original Art Deco references. The 5196 series marked a pivotal return to smaller case sizes during an era of oversized sports watches, with the "J" designation confirming its 18k yellow gold construction and the pristine unworn condition preserving every nuance of Patek Philippe's Geneva manufacture finishing.
