Patek Philippe 5196P-001

Calatrava

Thursday, 20 May 2021

Thirty-seven millimetres. Hand-wound. Time-only. Platinum. The 5196P is the quietest watch in the collection — and possibly the loudest statement. It says: complications don't define me. Dial colour doesn't define me. I bought a Cal. 215 in platinum because I understand what Patek Philippe is at its most essential.

Collector's Note

Hand-wound, time-only, platinum, 37mm. The 5196P is the most restrained watch in the collection — and possibly the one that says the most about its owner. Anyone can buy complications. Buying a Cal. 215 in platinum requires genuine confidence in your own taste.
