The ref. 5227 was launched in 2013 and offered in yellow, pink and white gold. It was the first time Patek Philippe matched the classic Calatrava shape with a hinged officers’ case back. Its 39 mm white gold case is fitted with the signature officer-style hinged back, concealing a sapphire crystal that reveals the self-winding movement beneath. The deep black lacquered dial adds a striking sense of contrast, while the applied white gold hour markers and dauphine hands preserve the restraint and refinement that define the Calatrava line.
Powered by Patek Philippe’s caliber 324 S C, the watch combines timeless dress-watch proportions with the practicality of automatic winding, center seconds, and a date display at 3 o’clock. The result is a reference that feels both traditional and highly wearable for modern collecting.
