New GR Model – Patek Philippe Classic Collection Ref. 5226G-001 Size: 40mm Case: Patek Philippe Cala

New GR Model – Patek Philippe Classic Collection Ref. 5226G-001 Size: 40mm Case: Patek Philippe Calatrava watches are renowned for their rounded, flowing case shape. Now, Patek Philippe has redesigned this model based on this characteristic, adorning the sides of the case with a Clous de Paris pattern. The Clous de Paris pattern is a classic Patek Philippe element, reappearing in the 2021 Calatrava Ref. 6119. Furthermore, the designers developed a special case structure that integrates the lugs with the case back, allowing the Clous de Paris pattern to fully cover the sides of the case. Dial: The charcoal gray dial exudes a vintage charm, with a black gradient effect at the edges, its subtle grain reminiscent of antique camera cases. The dial features white gold applied numerals with a beige luminescent coating, and understated "railroad track" second markers. The white gold cylindrical hour and minute hands are coated with a beige luminescent coating. A date window is located at the 3 o'clock position, featuring beige numerals against a black background. The movement is a modified Patek Philippe 9015 Cal.26-330 SC, with chamfered bridges and finely polished edges. The bridges are decorated with fish-scale and Geneva stripes, and the bridge surfaces are gold-plated and engraved. The screw grooves are polished and chamfered, showcasing impeccable detail. It also bears the classic Patek Philippe double-P seal! (The movement details are more consistent with the genuine article.) The new Ref. 5226G-001 model offers two interchangeable straps: a beige suede calfskin and a black calfskin, both featuring embossed patterns and beige stitching. Both straps are fitted with white gold pin buckles and quick-release spring bars for easy strap changes! ⚠️With the discontinuation of the 5296, this is a genuine Patek Philippe timepiece with a striking and elegant design, a welcome addition to any collection.
