Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar – 5212A-001

Patek Philippe 5212A-001 Calatrava Weekly Calendar is a rare blend of technical ingenuity and poetic design, housed in a stainless steel case—a notable departure for a complication from the brand. This 40 mm timepiece introduces a new calendar complication that displays not only the day and date, but also the week number and corresponding month, making it especially practical for professionals who plan by week. The silvery opaline dial is distinguished by its handwritten-style typography, a charming nod to personal diaries and analog elegance. Five centrally mounted hands—each delicately faceted—track the hours, minutes, seconds, day, and week, while blackened white gold “obus”-style hour markers and dauphine-style hands enhance legibility and sophistication. Inside beats the Caliber 26‑330 S C J SE, a self-winding movement with optimized performance and a power reserve of 45 hours. The case features a two-tier construction with gently curved lugs, and the watch is paired with a light brown hand-stitched calfskin strap secured by a steel prong buckle. With a sapphire crystal caseback and 30-meter water resistance, the 5212A-001 is as refined as it is functional—a modern complication wrapped in timeless charm.
