The simple yet elegant and cleverly designed annual calendar is one of the iconic caliber of Patek. Though differing in case design, it’s dial layout always reminds me it’s vintage big brothers 3445/ 3450, which I have dreamed of acquiring someday 😊 Cheer...

The 6196P is the best of the best Calatrava in the history of all Calatravas.

Keep on enjoying it, my friend, and may you one day get the vintage!

Merci, mon ami. The dauphine hands and central second are my favourite features of this reference 😊

Mine is 12 year old and I am still in love with this reference. A strong pedigree.

Thank you, Philesfogg. It's wonderful to meet another siblings here. I love your shiny green strap. Guess it's time for me to get one from the service center too. The original one has been well worn after 13 years. Cheers, Henry

Beautiful choice

Thank you, David.

Amazing piece!

Thank you, Alex. Yours 5296 is a close sibling of the 96 family. The latest 6196P should be the direct descendant. Cheers, Henry

This is a great beautiful watch Henry! I have the same feelings regarding its looks and its connection with its vintage old brothers in its dial design. So charming.

Thank you, Abel. Yours looks fanatics with different straps. Cheers, Henry

You are welcome Henry! Glad you like the straps combos. I like to try other colors to make this wonderful watch a bit less formal than with the original black ones. Cheers! Abel

Looking good...
