The release of the new Calatrava ref. 6196P got me thinking (a thread dedicated to this reference can be found here ). It uses the 30-255 PS caliber which was introduced in 2021 with the ref. 6119 . With its diameter of 31 mm , this caliber is much better

The Patek Philippe 5135P was discontinued in 2011. It was introduced to the market in 2004 and was produced for only seven years. The platinum examples were made for the shortest amount of time, only from 2006 until 2011. The distinctive and elegant case

last october 2016. Very elegant case design and I love these small lugs. Under plastic so photos are blurred. Cheers, Patrickh

I mentionned in the past that I really have a soft spot for this romantic watch. This is due to the case of course but also because it shows the Retrograde date and PC complications in a very beautiful way... One of the last in the collection with Roman n
