The Patek Philippe Calatrava is one of the most iconic watch collections of all time, with each of its time-only members carrying a distinct, symbolic weightiness in their lightweight, formal wear.
The Patek ref. 5107G hit the catalog in 2002 and was discontinued just four years later in 2006. Similar to other Calatravas from the brand, we can see some really significant design influences from the references that preceded in the collection’s then seven decade history. The 30-meter water-resistant case is reminiscent of the model’s heritage in the market via the vintage ref. 565, while the sweeping lugs and crown guards lean more towards the slightly later ref. 2526. The opaline dial on the 5107G points back toward the brand’s heritage in enamel dial-making with its pristine white tone. Although not an enamel dial like you would find on a vintage Patek, what you get in this watch is a similar look with increased reliability as enamel has a tendency to be extremely fragile.
This watch really has all the details you could ever want out of a modern Patek Calatrava, with applied, case-matching white gold hour markers and sharp dauphine hands. The screw-down caseback with sapphire crystal puts the Patek Philippe self-winding caliber 315SC on full display, the time-and-date automatic movement capable of a 48 hour power reserve.
