The **Calatrava, Ref. 5153** is a modern incarnation of the classic [[Patek Philippe Calatrava]].

This is the current [[Patek Philippe Officer's Watch|Officer's Watch]] from the [[Patek Philippe Calatrava|Calatrava]] line.

===== Info =====
Although the [[Patek Philippe Calatrava]] line is best-known for the understated [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 5196|Ref. 5196]] and hobnail-bezel [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 5120|Ref. 5120]], Patek Philippe has been producing an [[officer's watch]] as part of the line [[Patek Philippe Officer's Watch|since 1989]]. That limited-edition piece paved the way for [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 5022|Ref. 5022]] and [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 5053|Ref. 5053]], both full-production pieces, and finally this Ref. 5153.

Introduced in [[2009]], Ref. 5153 departs as significantly in dial design as it adheres to history in the case The attention-grabbing [[guilloche]] inner dial disc is something never before seen in an officer's watch from Patek Philippe or any other maker. At the same time, the case, with its screwed lugs, large crown, and [[hinged case back]] is absolutely traditional. The tiny crown guards, however, are quite new to the model. Inside, Ref. 5153 is equipped with a modern [[automatic]] movement, [[PP 324|Cal. 324 S C]]. This movement beats at a modern 28,800 A/h with a high-tech silicon [[Spiromax]] [[hairspring]] along with Patek's [[Gyromax]] balance. The full rotor is shown off through a sapphire case back.
