Introducing the GR upgraded luminous version of the Patek Philippe Classical Watches Series Ref.5226G-001. With a case size of 40mm, this watch is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship that Patek Philippe is renowned for.
The Calatrava series is famous for its smooth, rounded case shape. Patek Philippe has reimagined this iconic design, incorporating Parisian nail patterns on the case’s side. This classic Patek Philippe element made its debut in the 2021 Calatrava series Parisian nail pattern watch, Ref.6119. Furthermore, a special case structure was developed, integrating the lugs with the case back, ensuring the nail pattern fully covers the side of the watch case.
The charcoal gray dial exudes a vintage charm with a black gradient effect towards the edges, reminiscent of antique camera cases. This dial is adorned with white gold appliquéd numerals enhanced with beige luminous coating and features a subtle ‘railway’ style minute track. The hour and minute hands are styled in a syringe shape, also coated with luminous beige. At the 3 o’clock position, there’s a date window with beige digits on a black background for easy readability.
This timepiece is powered by the 9015 modified Cal.26-330 S C movement, showcasing beautifully chamfered bridges and polished edges. Its plates are decorated with exquisite patterns like fish scales and Geneva waves, all details perfected, including the engraved gold-plated surface and meticulously finished screw slots. The movement proudly bears the classic Patek Philippe double P hallmark, aligning closer to genuine quality.
The new Ref.5226G-001 comes with two interchangeable straps: a beige suede calfskin and a black calfskin with embossed texture and beige stitching. Both straps feature a white gold pin buckle and quick-release spring bars for convenient strap swapping.
With the discontinuation of the 5296 model, this GR replica of the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref.5226G-001 fills the void of a classic three-hand watch in genuine quality, combining elegance with a touch of brilliance.
