The Patek Philippe Calatrava Reference 5296R is a modern masterclass in dress watch design, drawing direct inspiration from the historic 1932 Reference 96. Combining an 18k rose gold 38mm case with a highly precise automatic movement, this timepiece balances classic Bauhaus functionality with high-end luxury.

• Case Dimensions: 38 mm diameter by a slim 8.43 mm thickness, with a tight 45.7 mm lug-to-lug span. This profile wears incredibly low to the wrist, slipping cleanly under formal cuffs.

• Case Material: Solid 18k rose gold featuring a polished inclined bezel and down-turned integrated lugs.

• Movement: In-house Patek Philippe Caliber 324 S C. A self-winding automatic caliber equipped with a 21k gold central rotor, running at 4Hz (28,800 bph) with up to 45 hours of power reserve.

• Complications: Central sweeping seconds and a clean date indicator window at the 3 o'clock mark.

• Crystal & Caseback: Scratch-resistant sapphire on the front, with an exhibition sapphire crystal caseback showcasing the movement’s meticulously hand-finished Côtes de Genève stripes and mirrored anglage.

• Lug Width: 21 mm spacing, usually paired with a premium alligator leather strap and an 18k rose gold pin buckle.
