GR upgraded luminous version arrival – Patek Philippe Classic Watch Series Ref.5226G-001
Size: 40mm Case: The Patek Philippe Calatrava series is renowned for its smooth and rounded case shape. Now, Patek Philippe has redesigned the watch with this characteristic as its foundation, incorporating "Clous de Paris" guilloche on the case sides. The Clous de Paris pattern is a classic element of Patek Philippe, which reappeared on the Calatrava Ref.6119 launched in 2021. Additionally, the designers have developed a special case structure that integrates the lugs with the case back, allowing the Clous de Paris guilloche to fully cover the sides of the case. Dial: The charcoal gray dial exudes a vintage charm, featuring a black gradient effect along the edges. The subtle textured surface evokes the look of antique camera cases. The dial is adorned with applied white gold hour markers coated with beige luminous material, along with understated "railway-style" seconds markers. The white gold syringe-style hour and minute hands are also coated with beige luminous material. There is a date window at the 3 o'clock position with beige numerals on a black background. Movement: Modified 9015 Cal.26-330 S C movement, with beveled bridges finely polished at the edges. The movement features fish scale patterns, Geneva waves, gold-filled engravings on the bridges, and polished, beveled screw slots. Every detail is executed to perfection, and it bears the iconic Patek Philippe double "P" hallmark! (The movement details closely match the original model.) Strap: The new Ref.5226G-001 model comes with two interchangeable straps: a beige suede calfskin strap and a black calfskin strap embossed with a textured pattern and beige stitching. Both straps are paired with a white gold pin buckle and equipped with a quick-release spring bar for easy strap changes.
⚠️ Since the discontinuation of the Ref.5296, Patek Philippe has been missing an elegant three-hand watch that subtly impresses with its classic yet striking design!
