WRIST AFICIONADO WARRANTY


The Patek Philippe Calatrava 6196P-001 is a refined embodiment of the maison’s timeless dress watch tradition, reimagined for 2025 with subtle yet elevated details. Crafted in platinum, the watch features a 38mm case with polished surfaces, stepped lugs, and the understated presence that defines the Calatrava lineage. True to Patek’s tradition for platinum models, a discreet brilliant-cut diamond is set into the case at 6 o’clock, visible only to the wearer—a quiet signature of exclusivity.

The rose-gilt opaline dial lends the watch a warm, vintage-inspired glow, beautifully offset by anthracite white gold “obus”-style faceted hour markers—slender, tapered indices that enhance the dial’s minimalistic symmetry. The elegant dauphine hands glide over the surface, with no date window to disrupt the design’s purity. Powered by a manually wound mechanical movement, the 6196P-001 is finished with a rich hand-stitched alligator strap and platinum pin buckle. This reference exemplifies the Calatrava ideal: restrained, beautifully proportioned, and quietly luxurious—a modern classic for true connoisseurs.

The Patek Philippe Calatrava 6196P-001 is a refined expression of minimalist elegance, debuting in 2025 as a new platinum addition to the iconic Calatrava collection. Measuring 38mm in diameter, the case features the classic slender profile and polished finish that have defined the model’s timeless appeal for generations.

Its rose-gilt opaline dial radiates warmth and understated sophistication, complemented by anthracite-colored white gold “obus”-style hour markers—faceted and applied for sharp dimensionality. This contrast between soft gilded tones and cool anthracite accents creates a balanced, modern vintage aesthetic. A subtle round brilliant-cut diamond is discreetly set at 6 o’clock on the case flank, a hallmark of all platinum Patek Philippe watches.

At its heart is the ultra-thin manual-winding caliber 215 PS, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback and decorated to the brand’s high standards. The small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock adds functional charm while maintaining the clean layout.

Fitted with a hand-stitched alligator leather strap and platinum pin buckle, the Calatrava 6196P-001 represents a return to refined simplicity. It is a quintessential dress watch for purists, embodying the purity, balance, and quiet luxury that define the Calatrava legacy.

Best purchase experience I could have imagined. Donald from Wrist Aficionado was very helpful and responsive whether by text, phone call or email. Shared videos with me and helped me get the watch I have been chasing for sometime. I have found my preferred watch dealer and will be a repeat customer. Payment processed same day and the watch ship later that day. A Very Happy Customer. Thank you everyone at the WA team!

Dealing with Vadim was a pleasure. The price was very fair and the communication and service was perfect. I buy a lot of watches and this experience was as good as they get. The audemars piguet arrived right on time and packaged beautifully. They even threw in a little gift!
