Congratulations on this piece! I love it how you demonstrated wearing the watch with your suit at dinner. It provides a way to see it from the outside. Thank you!
Great video thanks. Agree the Calatrava wears large and they should have made it 37-38mm and with sloping lugs. That’s why I went with Lange. But I really want the 5205!
Congratulations on your Patek collection. They are some of the most beautiful timepieces on Earth! A brief remark: you have yet to encounter the elegance of a deployant clasp; maybe this will be your next target. 😃
Absolutely love both of those pieces, my man. The apex of art, style, beauty, and elegance. I do see what you mean about the glare. Nonetheless, the 5205R remains my grail! Hope all is well with you!!
I’ve been more and more appreciating the dress watch experience. I thought I had this with Rolex, but there can be further elegance found beyond Rolex, in other brands.
Great to see another aficionado’s journey! Amazing company and amazing products - we live vicariously through you😂 they should be able to make the aquanaut as small as you want - it’s no bigger than you 5205 and it’s also thinner - especially the 5167 - you should be good for the aquanaut
Calatrava 6119G is a must, absolutely a stunning piece when you look at details (clous de Paris, brushed dial, etc) and quite low profile in the world of PP; owning one, it’s a daily wearer without any problem - especially when you’re not sure what to take in your collection ;)
Congrats! Both beautiful watches and also the other two you’re looking at next! Of the classic style Pateks I like the 5396R white dial and it’s 38.5mm
Thank you, Patek is in a totally different playing league. I still love Rolex, but I now view them entirely differently: as Sports/Casual watches. But the Patek are the true, elegant, dress watches for me.
@@sc1 Hi! If you get lucky, hopefully the manager at Patek will allocate you a 5726 Nautilus with the blue dial! It’s the most beautiful Patek, perfect dimensions and proportions! Good luck, your collection is exquisite an amazing!
Great stuff. I am on my AD list for the 5226G. Hopefully I can get allocate for my 50 birthday next year. Was offer the 5205G but I pass, as I have a small wrist.
I have a small wrist too, but the 5205G wears well on it. 5226G is not as thick, but still has a relatively large diameter. it seems very popular, so I’m not sure how difficult it is to get.
Beautiful watches. I also have a small wrist but tried the 5205g and it wears much smaller than its size. I passed on that and have just been offered the 5205r which I've been waiting for. Hope i like it in the flesh more than the 5205g. Otherwise bad decision.
Nice video. Only thing is the 5205 does not have second time zone. It's just the day/night indicator on when and when not to change complication settings.
As a third piece you need one of these awesome small rotor movements (240). This complements your hand wound calatrava and your large rotor AC. Have a look at a world time: My favourite is the 5110G or P
It’s super interesting how we’re both into such similar things- I’ve got some watches the same as yours (calatrava, explorer etc), a similar but different Barbour (bedale) and I too am a Leica fan (and own a Q3). Super strange how I’ve returned to your channel thrice for three completely unrelated reasons. Kudos man! Looking forward to more content.
@@sc1 are you on Instagram? I’ve got a small watch page and would love to talk more about watches, cars and photography. I’m more of a Porsche person myself, but just like you, love BMWs too.
I can’t afford this level of time piece. However I just inherited a 70’s calatrava 3563/2. It’s an interesting wrist watch I just wish I knew what Patek called the face/dial on this particular calatrava because it’s like nothing I’ve seen in pics online.
Here on my lunch break, my co-worker thinks me and you are crazy 🤣. He knows about my watch obsession and sees me sitting here in the break room, on my phone, watching you film your watch on that dinner, 👌🏽 excellent video! Btw he’s the crazy one for wearing an apple junk lol
Maybe a Grand Complication? You've got dress and sports covered already, So maybe a Perpetual Calendar? I was lucky to get my 5140p back when they were still 37.2 mm. But ether way congrats on your collection,
Grand Complication is very expensive and exclusive, I might not be ready for that. I just received another Complication piece today and will post that video soon.
Great stuff and lovely watches. You're further down the road than me but I've started looking at Patek as a progression from Rolex (love how you now do Rolex Saturday rather than Seiko Saturday!). I'm looking at the 3940 as a first and maybe only piece.
Good advice on the 5326G. I backed off because of the price, but it’s a very nice looking piece. But also slightly bigger and thicker than the 5226G. Something to think about.
I don’t see how another Rolex could ever be in your plans after these two! And I’m not surprised that you now wear these more often to work. They are perfection and look so good with a suit.
You were correct again. I was at the (Patek/Rolex) AD today for another reason, and I actually had difficulty thinking of another Rolex that I absolutely really wanted... But he was able to surprise me with item from my Patek Philippe wish list!!
@@ALLinHerMovements DEF. And it was a Patek that was on my wish list! He totally surprised me and did not give me any warning. But It's a beautiful watch, and came in sooner than expected. I'm still on the list for one more.
@@sc1 And now new Rolex are dead to you, as they should be. 🤣 Seriously, though, you’ve accomplished everything with Rolex. Now it’s time to dive deep into this higher level of art. Bravo for you!
@@ALLinHerMovements I think I have enough Rolex, and should consolidate. The Patek passion is still growing: three models currently, and maybe two more in the future. One of my commenters said, 'Patek clearly tells you what hoops to jump through, and when. Rolex leaves it vague.' I accidentally overheard a Patek salesperson tell a customer, "We want you to be a Patek 'collector' before asking for the Nautilus or Aquanaut sports watches" I just wonder where AP falls in with this. I only want one 37mm Royal Oak, and that's it from them. They left it vague for me, just like Rolex. But Patek was upfront with me.

I have Langes and Pateks and need to admit: Lange movements with their handcraft and finishing are in a different league.
Entry level? This Calatrava is no ordinary piece 🤩. Stunning. Congrats!
IMO each and every Patek is grailworthy
@@stevenbrown4060 💯
Agreed! Patek puts care and attention into every watch.
Congratulations on your Patek collection. They are some of the most beautiful timepieces on Earth!

Congratulations and the 5205G-013 AC is stunning!
I am enjoying the 5205G!
The Calatrava is stunning. Can be entry level, sure, but can also be an exit watch.
I love following your journey. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
5226 dial is special! So unique for Patek. Love it! That’s the one.
Very true. The color is so complex in-person, with a closer look.
Been looking everywhere for this type of video- showing a Calatrava in the real world and in use. Thanks for making it.
Glad it was helpful! I'll be making more in the future.
Love your videos man. Such good inspiration… I also love suits, watches and fancy dinners! Keep the content coming brother!

As usual a great video! I am on the list for the 5226. Another AD has offered me an AP 15510 silver dial. Difficult decisions. Hard to pass up.
yes, go for the AP if it fits. I want the 37mm version RO with blue or silver dial.

I like wearing both of them. But the 5205G is a treat - elegant, but on the sporty side, and several complications included.

Congratulations! What an inspiring and intricate video, really enjoyed it
it really appears that the Calatrava and Chopin's piano sound are a match made in heaven!

Great to hear. I suppose there is some cross-interest between brands. For me, it's Rolex/Patek, Leica, BMW, Barbour, Liverano, Alden, Viberg.

I'd go with the 5226 👍

3940? that is an amazing watch! very high-end
@@sc1 It'll be a while yet but I'm aiming high!
Well, you've got a Calatrava, so hold off on the 5226G til you can afford a 5326G and get the 5212A which is so unique in the watch world, IMHO!
Good advice on the 5326G. I backed off because of the price, but it’s a very nice looking piece. But also slightly bigger and thicker than the 5226G. Something to think about.
Congrats looks like a great start
got the weekly calendar also. hoping for the 5226G next

Great vid. Love your suit. Where do you get your suit tailored?
Suits are from Liverano. I don’t have a good tailor near me, so I send them tmtailor.com for alteration in the sleeve length and pants hem.
Hey SC, that. looked like a delicious dinner :O
The steak was perfectly cooked and tender 👌. But the cocktail was Delicious, never tasted anything like it: Gin + Elderberry 👍
Wise choices my dude. Well done.
Thanks for the visit
Please don't just buy new watches, look into getting some vintage pieces you won't be disappointed.
Excellent suggestion. My appreciation for watches grew once I experienced some vintage pieces.
👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
great references.
WOW!
1:30 what was exactly the reason this dealer lost his contract with Patek corporation.? I don't understand
Patek was consolidating their stores in 2023. They reduced their AD locations by 30%
Curious what do you do as a profession?
Well patience pay off just got the call for the 5226
Well done. I’m still waiting for the 5226.
Just get the aquanaut first fellas
sadly, my wrist is too small for it.
Yes the watch is gorgeous. You must be an american with that kitschy one kg ring on your finger.
It is a health-tracking Oura Ring.
Love your videos man. Such good inspiration… I also love suits, watches and fancy dinners! Keep the content coming brother!
