Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226G-001
Code: 600066Product detailed description
Patek Philippe Calatrava — Ref. 5226G-001
Timeless design, reimagined with quiet modernity.
The Calatrava has long represented the essence of Patek Philippe — purity, proportion, and craftsmanship. The Ref. 5226G-001 reinterprets that legacy with subtle contemporary character: a white gold case featuring a textured charcoal-grey dial with a delicate gradient, complemented by beige lume and a refined hobnail pattern around the caseband. It’s an evolution that respects tradition while expressing a distinctly modern aesthetic.

Why choose this model?
A modern take on an icon.
The Calatrava has been Patek Philippe’s design cornerstone since 1932. The 5226G updates that heritage with new case architecture — the hobnail guilloché, typically reserved for bezels, now encircles the caseband, showcasing the brand’s attention to detail from every angle.
Refined mechanics.
Powered by the self-winding Calibre 26-330 S C, visible through a sapphire-crystal back, the watch offers precision, reliability, and a power reserve of up to 45 hours. The seconds-stop mechanism ensures exact time setting — a subtle but significant functional refinement.
Balanced design.
The matte charcoal-grey dial, with its textured finish and beige Super-LumiNova markers, evokes vintage military influences while remaining undeniably elegant. Paired with two interchangeable straps — a beige calfskin strap with a nubuck finish and a black calfskin strap with a fabric-style embossing — it easily adapts to different moods and occasions.
Collector relevance.
The 5226G stands out as one of the most contemporary Calatrava references of recent years. It appeals to collectors drawn to timeless design interpreted with modern execution — a piece that bridges heritage and present-day sensibility.
Lasting value.
As part of Patek Philippe’s core collection, yet produced in limited quantities, the 5226G-001 has already gained recognition among discerning collectors for its distinct personality within the Calatrava line. It’s a watch that rewards close observation — refined, versatile, and enduring.
