Patek PhilippeCalatrava

First released at Baselworld 2013, the ref. 5227 embodies the classical aesthetic of the Calatrava line but with a more contemporary 39mm case. Simple in appearance, the model features a number of subtle and interesting details, none more so than the officer’s style caseback. A small hidden hinge allows it to be lifted up, revealing the expertly finished calibre 324 SC. This automatic winding movement features a 21K winding rotor and a 45-hour power reserve.

The case of this example is finished in white gold and complemented by a lacquered gloss black dial. Simply laid out, the face is adorned with dauphine hands, applied indices, a dimple-style minute track, and a date aperture at 3 o’clock. Accompanying the watch is a factory black leather strap and pin-buckle.

This 2021 example is presented in mint, unworn condition. In addition to the travel pouch shown in the photographs, the watch is also supplied with its box and papers.
