The **Calatrava, Ref. 5196** is the modern incarnation of the elegant classic men's watch from [[Patek Philippe]].

Ref. 5196 is the member of [[Patek Philippe Calatrava|the modern Calatrava family]] that closest resembles the classic [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 96|Ref. 96 Calatrava]]. It includes the tapered lugs that epitomized the Calatrava, along with the [[small seconds]] dial and pointed [[baton]] markers. A hand-wound movement, [[PP 215|Cal. 215 PS]], resides inside the solid case back. This movement is much more modern than the classic, however, with 28,800 A/h performance and a high-tech [[silicon]] [[Spiromax]] [[hairspring]].

Ref. 5196 was introduced at [[Baselworld]] in [[2004]] and took the place of the classic [[Patek Philippe Calatrava 3796|Ref. 3796]] which had been out of production for a few years. It is larger than that reference, with a 37 mm case rather than 31 mm, but still uses the same hand-wound movement.
