The Patek Philippe Calatrava 6196P-001 marks the evolution of the maison’s most iconic dress watch — refined, balanced, and built to perfection. Crafted from solid platinum, the 38 mm case combines heritage charm with modern precision, offering one of the cleanest and most elegant timepieces in Patek’s contemporary portfolio.
Its rose-gilt opaline dial — often referred to as “salmon” — glows warmly under light, beautifully contrasted by anthracite-finished white-gold markers and dauphine-style hands. The design pays tribute to the legendary Calatrava lineage while introducing updated proportions and technical enhancements.
Inside beats the hand-wound Caliber 30-255 PS, Patek Philippe’s latest generation manual movement. With twin mainspring barrels, a 65-hour power reserve, and stop-seconds functionality, it represents a perfect fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering. The movement is visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback, showcasing hand-finished bridges, Geneva stripes, and Patek’s unmistakable polish.
A discreet diamond set between the lugs at 6 o’clock — the signature of platinum Patek watches — adds an understated touch of exclusivity. The watch is fitted with a hand-stitched chocolate-brown alligator strap and a platinum pin buckle, ensuring ultimate comfort and luxury.
Offered brand new, factory sealed, and unworn (2025 production), this timepiece comes as a complete full set, including the original box, certificate of origin, hang tags, and manuals.
