Introducing the meticulously crafted replica of the Patek Philippe Calatrava series, Ref.5226G-001, now available with upgraded luminous features. This timepiece measures 40mm and stands out with its iconic round case, celebrated for its seamless contours and intricate design.

The Calatrava’s case side is adorned with the signature Paris hobnail pattern, a classic Patek Philippe element that has been reimagined from the 2021 Calatrava Paris hobnail watch, Ref.6119. Designers have innovated a unique case structure, integrating the lugs with the case back, ensuring the Paris hobnail pattern envelops the case sides fully.

The charcoal grey dial exudes vintage charm with its black gradient edge, reminiscent of antique camera casings. White gold applied hour markers coated with beige luminous material complement the subtle ‘railway’ second markers. The white gold syringe-style hour and minute hands are also coated with beige luminous material. At the 3 o’clock position, there’s a date window featuring beige numerals against a black backdrop.

The watch is powered by the 9015 modified Cal.26-330 S C movement, with meticulously finished details including chamfered bridge edges, fish scale textures, Geneva stripes, gold-inlaid engravings, and polished screw slots. Each detail is crafted to perfection, featuring the classic Patek Philippe double P insignia, ensuring authenticity.

The Ref.5226G-001 model comes with two interchangeable straps—a beige suede calfskin and a black calfskin with embossed patterns and beige stitching. Both straps are equipped with quick-release pins, facilitating easy strap changes, paired with a white gold pin buckle.

In the wake of the discontinuation of the Ref.5296, Patek Philippe lacked an elegant timepiece that offers both sophistication and brilliance. This replica delivers just that, embodying classic charm with a touch of modern ingenuity.
