The GR Super Luminous version of the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5226G-001 replica has just arrived, offering watch enthusiasts a chance to own a piece of classic elegance in a 40mm exquisite timepiece. Renowned for its smooth and flowing case design, the Patek Philippe Calatrava series is reimagined with intricate details and compelling aesthetics in this model.

This watch’s case features the iconic Parisian hobnail pattern, a signature of Patek Philippe’s design language, previously seen in the Calatrava Ref. 6119 introduced in 2021. This pattern fully covers the sides of the case thanks to a special case construction that seamlessly integrates the lugs and case back into a unified look.

The charcoal grey dial exudes a vintage charm with a black gradient at the edges and a subtle grain finish reminiscent of antique camera cases. It is adorned with white gold applied numerals coated with beige luminous material, and the modest yet elegant “railway” style seconds track. White gold syringe hands, also coated with beige luminous material, sit alongside a date window at the 3 o’clock position, featuring beige numerals against a black backdrop.

Inside this remarkable timepiece is the 9015 modified Cal.26-330 S C movement. The meticulously chamfered bridges and polished edges, with fish-scale and Geneva stripes patterns, ensure that every detail aligns with the authentic intricacies of Patek Philippe’s craftsmanship. The movement also proudly bears the classic twin P signature of Patek Philippe.

The Ref. 5226G-001 is paired with two interchangeable straps: a beige suede calfskin and a black calfskin with embossed texture and beige stitching, both equipped with white gold pin buckles. The innovative quick-release spring bars make strap changes a seamless experience.

With the discontinuation of the 5296 model, this GR super luminous replica fills a gap in Patek Philippe’s lineup for an elegant three-hand watch that captivates with its sophisticated presence and stunning details.
