Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5226G Modern and beautiful details. Continuing the brand's well-known intention to bring Calatrava alive, Patek Philippe unveiled a new classic dress discount replica watches, the Calatrava ref, at Watches & Wonders earlier this year. 5226G-01. referee. The 5226G shows where the Calatrava range is headed - a more modern design, although still influenced by retro models, so faux retro lumens, enhanced with sharper and higher quality detail. Despite being an entry-level watch (albeit at a high price), ref. Still, the 5226G is well-crafted. Nail decoration found in last year's reference. For example, the 6119 “Clous de Paris” has been redesigned and applied to the case strap. My first encounter with a referee. When the 5226G appears on the floor-to-ceiling display on the side of the Watches & Wonders Patek Philippe, it appears in surreal form. The projected proportions mean that the patterned dial and stud-like case are immediately visible. While the entry-level Patek Philippe's elements are unexpected, they work well together on screen and in real life. My positive impression was reinforced when I tried on the watch during the show. Even reference. The 5226G is a combination of elements that don't normally come together, and it's striking and attractive in metal. While the dial is reminiscent of a vintage military watch, the polished case with its studded strap and solid numerals on the dial give it a sophisticated feel. Of course, the individual elements of reference. The 5226G is ordinary and works well, which is perhaps why the model has been criticized for appearing to be derived. But like some other Calatrava designs, ref. The 5226G combines familiar elements in an unusual way - with a high level of execution quality - to produce a touch that can best be described as attractively high-end. In other words, reference. The 5226G is a highly refined watch for the gentleman explorer. 187_188.html">replica Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Watches From a broader perspective, the referee. The 5226G may be a milestone in Calatrava's development. I think it's more appealing than the limited edition ref. 6007A, one of the first modern designs of the contemporary generation. Reference basket weave pattern. The 6007A seems a little too classic for a "modern" Calatrava. On the other hand, reference. The design of the 5226G is coherently modern in its various elements. The only downside to the reference, as is often the case with Patek Philippe. 5226G is the price. The reference price is $39,030. The 5226G is one of the most expensive time and date watches of its kind, priced higher than comparable watches from Lange or Vacheron Constantin. But reference. The 5226G is a Patek Philippe - like Ferrari, the name is worth a lot - and it's a package that's very well-balanced in all dimensions, design, size, finish and feel. True, referee. The 5226G performs better than most other Calatrava models. Equally important are the referees. With an unusual aesthetic, the 5226G is classic and recognizable, an achievement for watches in this segment. Of course it's a reference. The 5226G wasn't the only watch of this style introduced during the show. Its more complicated sibling, ref. 5236G, with both annual calendar and second time zone functions. Between the two, I prefer time and date references. 5226G, because its thinner, more compact form factor feels more elegant and simple. Although I appreciate the technological innovation of its big brother ref. Due to its thickness, the 5236G feels bulky. At the same time, the simplicity of reference. The 5226G brings out the details on its case and dial. 278.html">replica Grand Seiko Watches Although the reference dial and case. The 5226G is a novelty for Calatrava, and the chassis is definitely the highlight. The pattern of nails in the middle of the case is a pleasing detail that gives the watch its unique character, yet subtle. Refer to the hobnail bezel. The 6119 has its fans, but some will no doubt find it too much. in reference. 5226G, the three rows of studs are only visible on the side. The hobnail decoration means reference. The 5226G has the most refined case found on an entry-level Calatrava. The clous de Paris case decoration is unique in the collection and has historically only appeared on much more expensive complicated watches, such as the ref. 5531R Minute repeater world time. Compared to the typical stamped case of the latest Calatrava models, the nailed case is clearly more challenging. On the one hand, despite the lugs, there is the challenge of adapting to the pattern. The solution was simple: a two-part case in which the lugs were separated from the middle of the case and instead attached to the back of the case. This case construction allows for more elaborate case decoration, which explains why Patek Philippe is turning to it more and more often. Unlike the traditional welding of lugs to the middle of the case, the lugs are integrated with the case back. This means that the middle of the case is actually a ring with an uninterrupted stud de Paris pattern on its sides. The smart structure also allows for noticeable visual breaks between elements, while avoiding tedious welding processes. That said, this method creates a noticeable gap between the lugs and the case, which is a bit inelegant (and can collect dust), but luckily the seam isn't noticeable when the watch is on the wrist . wholesale replica watches While the middle of the case is complex, the bezel and lugs are simple and rooted in historical design. I especially like the flat bezel and angular lugs reminiscent of vintage models, such as the ref. 3448. Despite their simplicity, both are unique design elements closely associated with Patek Philippe. The style disappeared for about half a century, but it was a reference first. 5235 annual calendar regulator and recent impressive reference. 5236P built-in perpetual calendar. The pointed lugs and smooth bezel give the watch a satisfyingly sharp look, perfect for modern dials. In fact, the consistency between case and dial is another reason why I prefer ref. 5226G to ref. The 6007A, it has soft rounded lines on its case. A final comment on the case is about its size, which is a bit large for a Calatrava at 40mm, but still compact relative to most modern watches. But in typical Patek Philippe fashion, reference. The 5226G is relatively thin at 8.53mm, so thin that it looks too flat. But it looks just right on the wrist, neither too big nor too thin. capture time Except for the case, ref. The 5226G is easily distinguishable from previous Calatrava models by its dial. Finished with an almost organic grained embossed pattern, the dials are adventurous for a manufacturer that primarily produces watches in the traditional style. Camera lovers will see the dial texture reminiscent of the pebble leather wrap found on vintage rangefinder cameras, which is the inspiration Patek Philippe cites in its launch announcement. While the texture may come from the camera, the dial design is almost certainly modelled on the ref. 565 "Night Watchman," Calatrava from the 1940s, sold for a record price in 2016. The textured surface is treated with a gradient, which gradually darkens towards the edges and culminates in a black minute trail. Although "smoky" finishes are common in nearly every price segment these days, gradients are especially useful on refs. 5226G. It counteracts the grainy texture and makes the dial look more dynamic. solar-watches-c-175_311.html">Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar The luminous lacquer on the hands and hour-markers is a dark beige, adding a warm tone to the dark dial and also complementing the charcoal grey. Normally I don't like this faux patina, but here it's subtly used to complement the dial rather than create a faux vintage look. But aside from obvious features like brightness and texture, the dial has a lot more to offer. Details such as the central seconds hand and Arabic numerals enhance the sporty feel of the textured dial, elements typical of military watches. Interestingly, the hands and hour markers are almost identical to those in the reference. 53.2 million perpetual calendar, but the two watches look completely different. The "syringe" hands and Arabic numerals work better here, especially in this dark grey finish on the grained dial. Another detail I like is the typography. Because of the font, the numbers are reminiscent of the dials on vintage Patek Philippe watches, including a "hook" seven and a flat-topped four. While the applied hour numerals are in a retro font, the five-minute markers are decidedly modern. The numerals on the minute track are flat and stubby, adding a touch of instrument-like functionality to the dial. The double font of the numbers also makes sense, as the dial is essentially two-piece, with different finishes and colors for the center and minutes track, effectively creating a two-tone dial. Notably, the minute track is relatively wide, helping to fill the dial without compromising its proportions. That's one of the reasons why the watch looks good, even though the case is wider than the movement inside. Internal reference. 5226G is cal. 26-330 SC, one of Patek Philippe's latest generation movements. It might look familiar because it's an upgraded version of the long- running cal. 324, which has powered most of the brand's automatic replica men watch over the past three years, including complications. In a significant upgrade that changes cal. 324 enters cal. The 26-330 SC is a countdown function that stops the balance when the crown is pulled, a feature that is extremely rare in Patek Philippe watches. But Carl. The 26-330 has more significant unseen technology upgrades. This includes the fourth wheel (which drives the seconds hand), with spring bars integrated into each tooth, preventing play or kickback, allowing for a smooth movement of the seconds hand. The other is a spring integrated into the rotor upper sprocket for improved winding efficiency. As with most current Patek Philippe movements, the cal. The 26-330 SC also features a Spiromax hairspring, the brand's in-house silicon hairspring. Spiromax debuted in 2006, but has improved over the years by applying nips and pleats to its geometry and shape. Silicon hairsprings offer several advantages over traditional metal alloy hairsprings, including excellent resistance to magnetism and temperature fluctuations, and silicon does not suffer from material fatigue over time like metals do. All the technical upgrades do increase performance and the movement is guaranteed to run within +3/-2 seconds per day and is now standard on all movements of the brand bearing the Patek Philippe seal. This is a compact range, one of the strictest among the premium brands, surpassed only by the standards of industrial giants like Rolex. In terms of finishing, Carl. 26-330 looks a lot like cal. 324 10 years ago. It's attractive thanks to the gold oscillating weight and stripes on the bridges, but up close you might see a clean industrial finish. 8.html">Richard Mille RM 11-04 Flyback Chronograph Roberto Mancini But under a magnifying glass, it's clear that the finishing has been improved compared to recent watches of the same class. This may be due to the increased manufacturing capabilities of Patek Philippe, or it simply reflects the incremental improvements that Patek Philippe has implemented in its timepieces. For example, the chamfer of the bridge is not only polished, but more pronounced and definitely rounded, rather than with the milling marks typical of traditional industrial finishes. In addition, the corners of the bridge are sharper, and the slopes meet at careful points. Another white gold Calatrava watch features three hands and a date - one with a movement that looks like a cal. 324 is there - ref. The 5226G might not look special on paper. Even the vaguely military style isn't unique. But reference. The 5226G is surprisingly compelling in both design and execution. The watch has clearly been designed with great attention to detail, and those details have been crafted to make almost everything just right. With an impressive dial and case, it clearly stems from the design and manufacturing expertise Patek Philippe has accumulated over the past two decades of vertical integration. While no doubt an expensive watch, ref. The 5226G is good value for money, probably better than most of its predecessors. replica watches online Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5226G-001 Diameter: 40mm Height: 8.53 mm Material: 18k White Gold Crystal: Sapphire Water resistance: 30 m Movement: 26-330 SC Functions: hours, minutes, seconds and date Chain: Automatic Winding: Automatic Frequency: 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) Power reserve: 35-45 hours Strap: Black embossed calfskin, additional beige calfskin strap, matte finish
