Patek calatrava
Hi everyone..
Wanted to share my new acquisition.
I have always wanted a classic calatrava. I had the 5107G, but found it too small for my wrist.
Recently I narrowed my search down to the 5296G Sector dial and the 5153G London ed. At the end the latter won the battle, I couldn’t resist the breguet hands, applied breguet numerals and hinged caseback.
Thanks to both Sam and Sham for giving me advice during my hunt.

Sincere congratulations. It's a truly beautiful Patek, and I love the tremendous versatility of the aesthetic, regardless of strap choice. Cheers, Filip
Well done on a superb purchase!
Many do not know of this watch but it is the best of the 5153s around.
You are most welcome!
I too would have bought this piece if it did not have a date window!
It is beautiful 😍. Congratulations
I’ve 5153G and yes this has a lovely vintage charm. A gentleman’s daily watch…
At first I was worried
that it would be too dressy/formal.. but the good thing abt Gs are they are very versatile..
Lovely watch, congrats !
Actually I also like a lot the regular yellow gold model with guilloche dial and golden vaulted PP logo.
This one is pure class, for sure.
Whereas the guilloche dials are a bit on the rococo side, I must admit.
Less is more.
It'd be even better without the date window, but it's only a minor point. Great watch!
My thoughts too..
I even did a photoshop version with an applied breguet 3 (shamelessly stolen from a 5078G) Perhaps i would find it too plain.. ...
Thank you..
The applied breguet numerals and hands were the reasons it edged out the 5296 sector
Beautiful! Very classy and timeless addition.
Wear it in the best of health! And often on a Nato ;-)
Ha..
Thanks for your kind words Swapping straps on this one is quite tricky, so I will stick with the yellow leather for a while longer
Hi yming, huge congratulations and great to see that
you were poisoned ☠️ by our Sham ! �� This London version is superb and the Brequet numerals are so elegant ! The Nato strap matches the dial well and the yellow strap spices the watch up. So both looks are good ��...
