This superb timepiece represents a further step forward in the development of the Calatrava, the quintessential round wristwatch first introduced in 1932.
With a case diameter of 37 mm, it subtly responds to the growing demand for somewhat larger timepieces.
The wide bezel is mirror-polished and merges seamlessly with the elegantly curved strap lugs.
The timelessly contemporary case accommodates the manually wound caliber 215 PS movement with small seconds. It proudly displays the coveted Geneva Seal that symbolizes the ultimate in craftsmanship.
The new Calatrava Ref. 5196 is available in 18K yellow, rose, and white gold or platinum.
