The Calatrava name goes back to 1932 and reference 96, the plain round dress watch that defined Patek's idea of restraint. The 6196P returns to those proportions: a 38mm case, a small seconds and nothing else.

This Calatrava wears a 38mm platinum case with a salmon dial and small seconds at six. The hand-wound calibre 215 PS inside, on a brown alligator strap.

Fun fact: the Calatrava cross, Patek's emblem, comes from a 12th-century Spanish order of knights and was registered by the company in 1887.

The collection

Calatrava

Patek's round dress watch, launched in 1932 with the reference 96

The Calatrava opened in 1932 with the reference 96, a plain round watch that Patek describes as drawn on the Bauhaus principle that function determines the form of an object, and the house dates the line from it. The name comes from the Calatrava cross, the emblem registered as the company trademark in 1887. The look is deliberately quiet: a round case with a slim bezel, applied markers or Breguet numerals, and nothing on the dial competing for attention. The reference 6119 carries the hobnail Clous de Paris pattern guilloched on its bezel, and the reference 5227 hides its sapphire back under a dust cover on an invisible hinge.
