OK it is official - I am sad as I have watched this video more times than I care to acknowledge 🤣I pick my 5212A up this time next week. First ever Patek and so excited. Already have the blue suede strap on order which should arrive at the same time 😁🥃

This is a top 5 that Patek currently makes. Great dial. A busy dial that they somehow made very clean.

The shot at 7:22 really shows what a beautiful dial that is man! My heart skipped a beat for a moment there!

In my opinion this Calatrava is a fun everyday Patek for those who are a bit annoyed by the Aquanaut lineup.

I’d never buy it. Never be able to afford it. Though I must say that is one nice piece. The only thing I’m not crazy on is the application of the date window. It looks quite simplistic. Not sure how it could be improved; maybe a black polished border. Also a silver date wheel to match the dial.

My favourite Patek by far I prefer this to the Nautilus .Been waiting for a review for a long time. Unfortunately well above my price range. Strange how things have changed with stainless watches and that Patek Philippe give you the opportunity to purchase a £34000 watch that you have to wait a year for.

Agreed, the silver dial 5205G is a real beauty. Conrgats on that one.

It's looks nice but I can't use the special functions without reading glasses. Sadly nowadays I stick to 3 handers without a date because for me every watch is still a tool.

busy catching up on your back catalog. . I love this watch (as mentioned elsewhere) but slightly concerned it's a tad small. I too have the exp ll but a '94

BTW like many Pateks, this is one that looks better (even better!) in the metal. When I got to try it on I was completely blown away. (Unfortunately the AD in question - Pragnell - then proceeded to screw me around very badly after having taken a deposit from me - but that's another story.)

Love this watch but the strap is still a little too basic and can easily be changed.

Yes, Patek offer very good strap choice, don’t they? Personally I do very much like tan calfskin. I actually had Patek make a bespoke tan-brown calfskin strap to go with my 5296G-001. The tan color works a treat with the slightly more casual feel of a sector dial, and it makes the blued hands really pop too. (I believe Jean Claude Biver wears all of his white gold Pateks on brown or tan calfskin too? But each to his own taste, of course.)

Damian - what is your wrist circumference, for reference? Gorgeous piece and so unique for PP.

No, totally different vibe. The WC feels more like an explorer’s watch, but the 5227 is a pure dress watch

Other than the Nautilus line these watches just don’t speak to me. I just find it Omega and Rolex sports models are so much more appealing and just more manly.
