The Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 5116 is one of the most elegant modern interpretations of the manufacture’s iconic dress watch. Introduced in 2004, this reference features a true porcelain enamel dial (note the EMAIL under 6 o’clock) and a classic hobnail bezel, first made famous by the legendary ref. 96D and later the revered ref. 3919. While paying homage to historic references, the ref. 5116 embraced a more contemporary 36 mm case, offering a refined balance between vintage inspiration and modern wearability. Produced in rose and white gold, the reference remains a favorite among collectors who appreciate understated elegance and traditional craftsmanship.
Beneath its classic exterior is the manually wound caliber 215 PS, a movement celebrated for its slim profile, reliability, and exceptional finishing. With its timeless proportions, signature hobnail bezel, enamel dial, and complete set of original accessories, the ref. 5116R-001 represents great value and wearability.
