1 mm that makes the difference
I had to check for the exact size before I revert to you Did.
The diameter of 5125 is in fact 37mm, not 36. I know it's only 1mm more, but that makes quite a difference. Not really on my chicken's wrist (17cm), but on a stronger one it shows.
That reminds me of a common friend who was in love with my 2526 and was thinking to buy one. He took the right decision not to buy this King of all Calatravas as he is so tall and strong and this superb 36mm diameter watch was lost on his wrist (just like his former 1803, remember? yes I know I am lucky...).
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike, Thanks for sharing. But you already know that I'm a total fan of this Wempe / PP, as I got the pleasure to put your watch on y wrist. My conclusion was that this watch gives a great idea of what I could call the "Patek harmony". Everything is at ...

New PP masthead
Hi Oliver, You are asking me if I mind seeing the picture of my 5205 as masthead ?! You must be kidding: I just join the club and you pick up one of my pix, what an honour ! I am just delighted, fell free! Mike
Beautiful watch & dial!
Really never noticed the "vintage" element of the nice pearls around the circumference of the dial. Very reminiscent of the 2526 and early 3448's What a magnificent design, great addition to your collection I bet, congrats! Ciao, D
Nice introduction, Mike.
Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself and to showw us one of your jewels. I am very curious to see what are your other 9 watches. And maybe one day we'll meet, as I also live in Paris. All the besst, Nicolas
Many thanks to all of you for your kind words

Thanks for your compliments. Next review shortly.
I'll try to post a new review upon my return from holiday and I'll do my best so that the pictures meet your satisfaction too! Hope a review about a Calatrava 2526 will be of interest for many. Best, Mike
