NWA: The 5226G. You either love it or hate it.
I fell in love with the 5226G the moment I first set eyes on it in 2022,
It was a grail that was always in the back of my mind. I never thought I could get one.
That was, until a good opportunity finally arose at last.
I haven't come accross many here on WPS. I know that it doesn't appeal to everyone for a variety of reasons.
As many reviews have stated, though, it looks much nicer in the metal than in pics. I agree.
The 5226G is pretty unique, especially as a Patek. Its beautiful design, elements, and colorway
all collectively work together IMO.
It is simple, yet elegant. It's so easy to read the time with my old eyes. Plus it is thin and comfortable on the wrist.
Even though I avoid date windows if I can, this one isn't instrusive. It blends nicely into the color scheme.
And lastly, it's a brilliantly executed stealth watch. Only those in the know, know. I am happy to have this one, finally.
Thanks for looking.

Excellent.
This is a very charming watch. I am a big fan of the dial and feel the syringe hands suit it perfectly. Enjoy!!!
Funnily enough, this one is one I “love”.
I like the dial, colour and the texture. I like the matching date window even if I’d prefer none at all. It’s a more sporty iteration, which I also like. Congrats and enjoy it !
It is the nicest field watch in the market.
Great legibility, and phenomenal texture on the dial. Congratulations!
I don’t love or hate this one, just okay to me.
I am more a regular Calatrava guy… even though I don’t own any
Big congrats Ron ! I love the
textured dial ! Your are correct in that only people in the know, KNOW !
Congratulations!
Same for me. Love at first sight. This grained dial is superb. The only difference, I do not own it 😀… not yet… maybe one day. Enjoy!
This is a great stealth watch...
...the best part to me is the hobnail on the side of the case...and it is nice and thin. A great daily driver...
