Patek Philippe 5296G Calatrava 18K White Gold Silver Dial

The Patek Philippe 5296G-010 Calatrava is a modern embodiment of the Bauhaus-inspired design that has guided Geneva's most storied dress watch collection since 1932. Rendered in 18K white gold with an immaculately finished silver dial, this reference pays homage to mid-century minimalism with its crisp applied markers and elegantly leaf-shaped hands. Introduced in the early 2000s, the 5296G-010 houses Patek's acclaimed automatic caliber 324 S C, renowned for its thin profile, 28,800 vph frequency, and meticulous Geneva Seal finishing—features that cement its collector desirability. The smooth bezel accentuates the dial's quiet beauty, while the black alligator strap delivers both sophistication and comfort. Its 38mm diameter and modest 8.6mm thickness create a contemporary yet timeless wrist presence, ideal for those who covet understated elegance. The reference is a modern successor to classic Calatravas such as the 96, blending historic DNA with up-to-date refinement and reliability. Collectors value the 5296G-010 for its purity of form and mechanical pedigree, making it one of the most versatile and respected dress watches in the Patek Philippe canon.
