The Patek Philippe Calatrava 6196P-001 is a refined embodiment of the maison’s timeless dress watch tradition, reimagined for 2025 with subtle yet elevated details. Crafted in platinum, the watch features a 38mm case with polished surfaces, stepped lugs, and the understated presence that defines the Calatrava lineage. True to Patek’s tradition for platinum models, a discreet brilliant-cut diamond is set into the case at 6 o’clock, visible only to the wearer—a quiet signature of exclusivity.

The rose-gilt opaline dial lends the watch a warm, vintage-inspired glow, beautifully offset by anthracite white gold “obus”-style faceted hour markers—slender, tapered indices that enhance the dial’s minimalistic symmetry. The elegant dauphine hands glide over the surface, with no date window to disrupt the design’s purity. Powered by a manually wound mechanical movement, the 6196P-001 is finished with a rich hand-stitched alligator strap and platinum pin buckle. This reference exemplifies the Calatrava ideal: restrained, beautifully proportioned, and quietly luxurious—a modern classic for true connoisseurs.
