Patek Philippe Complications Calatrava Weekly Calendar Steel 5212A 2021 NOS

Overview 

While Patek Philippe is renowned for classic dress watches like the traditional Calatrava, the brand surprised collectors in 2019 with the unexpected and delightfully quirky Calatrava Weekly Calendar ref. 5212A-001. This stainless steel time-and-calendar watch stands out with its handwritten font on the opaline dial, displaying the day, date, week, and month indications.

The 40mm case with stepped lugs draws inspiration from the 1955 ref. 2512, housing Patek's modern caliber 26-330 S C with a 45-hour power reserve. It was the brand's first movement with a hacking seconds complication.

What makes the 5212A so unique is its casual versatility despite being a high horology Patek. The unexpected handwritten dial detailing lends a warmth and whimsical charm that works surprisingly well whether dressing it up or down on the OEM calf leather straps or even a casual NATO strap.

This weekly calendar represents an unconventional but welcomed twist on Patek's traditional dress watch aesthetic. It's a fun and unexpectedly versatile expression from one of the most prestigious watchmakers that still exudes Patek's renowned quality and attention to detail.
