is what I think. Congrats! Kari
Well, I love it.

I like the monochrome overall aspect of the watch and the matte dial with the polished elements combination. Agrey strap (dark or light) would look fantastic too with this reference. Do you have it since long? How and why did you go for this one, I'll be ...

The thing that draws me most about this calatrava is the dial. The breguet numerals with the dauphine hands are just too yummy to pass. I never though i will wear a 35mm watch, but for this one i make an exception. A VERY HAPPY EXCEPTION ....... Thks for ...
a classic

Understated. I prefer "less is more", than all those big style watches. This watch stand the test of time, just as it already has. Thanks for posting.
Awesome!

What a looker, everything I would want in a watch, closest I could come is the 5196P, congrats on that beauty!!
Superb! Congrats Iceman

This watch is captivating. If it was displayed in a case of more complicated pieces, it would immediately draw attention due to its simplicity and beauty. What a find! Truly a star in any collection. Lucky you. Wear it in the very best of health.
Beautiful Iceman!

One word - "Wow". That was my first reaction. It's absolutely gorgeous and looks great on your wrist. Small and elegant; the very essence of Patek Philippe. I wish they made these today; I'd buy one for sure. Congratulations on your beautiful piece of Pat...

i completely agree if PP where to remake these in 37mm it would be PERFECTO. Original design are special. Always looks natural and never forced upon. Unlike mordern pcs which i find seriously lacking SOUL if u know what i mean. Best Iceman

Hi Iceman, very nice catch !
By: GLau : September 6th, 2015-07:04
The breguet numerals, radium dots and seconds sub-dial are all splendid, and they remind me of the 5196P which has definitely inherited some of the genes from your 565. In addition to a grey strap, I think a black or dark blue would also match the white m...
Hi Gordon

Thks for the compliment, the 565 is indeed the father of 5196P. Will def try grey or blue straps on it. Thks Best iceman

Patek has evolved a lot over the last 20 years, and I make no comment about that evolution here....what I will say is that the era of their simple Calatrava is amongst my very favourite in Patek history. This version is superb....I have to say, I know man...
