Dynamic Design Meets Timeless Craftsmanship
The Calatrava Ref. 5226G-001 builds upon the iconic round case shape that has defined the Calatrava collection since 1932. Patek Philippe elevates the design with a Clous de Paris hobnail pattern, which wraps around the entire caseband, offering a stunning visual texture and an elegant nod to the brand’s heritage. The distinctive case construction, where the lugs are an integral part of the case back, further enhances its unique appeal, showcasing Patek Philippe's commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. The charcoal gray textured dial, featuring a black gradient rim, complements the refined aesthetic, while the gold applied numerals with beige luminescent coating ensure legibility in all lighting conditions.
Precision at Its Core – Caliber 26-330 S C

This highly reliable movement offers a 35 to 45-hour power reserve, ensuring that the watch maintains accuracy even during periods of inactivity. Featuring sweep seconds and a date display in an aperture, this movement combines both practical functionality and technical excellence. With a Gyromax® balance and Spiromax® balance spring, the Caliber 26-330 S C guarantees smooth operation, while the 21K gold central rotor ensures efficient winding. The movement vibrates at 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour (4 Hz), offering superb precision and stability, backed by the renowned Patek Philippe Seal.
