The Best Calatrava - Patek Philippe 6196P

This year, Patek Philippe launched the new 6196P manual small three-hand watch. From the model, we can see that the follow-up model 6196 of Patek Philippe 5196 is finally here. Previously, the old 5196 was Patek Philippe's classic entry-level manual small three-hand watch. Due to its long launch (launched in 2004), the 215 manual movement used was small in size and short in power (not transparent), which could not keep up with today's technical standards. Therefore, 5196 was discontinued in previous years, but after the discontinuation of production, the follow-up models did not appear until this year's 6196P. The best Patek Philippe replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

6196P first replaced Patek Philippe's new generation 30-255 manual winding movement. The 31mm movement size is large enough, the 65-hour power meets the current standards, and the movement is also transparent. Since the size of the 30-255 movement is larger, it is no longer a "small horse pulling a big cart". Not only is it placed in the 38mm 6196P case, it is full, and the position of the small second hand on the dial is also very reasonable. The proportion of the watch dial is more reasonable and harmonious than the old 5196 (5196 is 37mm, the 215 movement is small, and the small second hand is too close to the center of the dial).

In terms of appearance, the 6196P still has the standard Calatrava small three-pin appearance, toffee needles, and cannonball characters. The first model is a platinum watch with a salmon dial. From the case to the dial, the specifications are full. Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, after this year's platinum watch, next year and the year after, the 6196 will definitely be launched in gold, rose gold, and white gold cases, and the public price will be lower than that of the platinum case.
