However.... the 5227 while not as widely accepted as a true classic (yet); has a few notable upgrades that you would pay for. I am a big fan of these features. 1) Automatic movement 2) Date window 3) Officer caseback AND display caseback (this is a great feature if you're paying $15-$25k for a watch; being able to appreciate the movement is awesome) 4) Sensuous curves and case flanks 5) Slightly larger case size at 39mm (pro for some and con for others) 6) Amazing dial color (eggshell) |

Very Well Stated

As a Ref 5227 owner I have not seen a better summary as described above. With that said the 5196 is awesome. I struggled back and forth between the two before moving to the 5227. |

I’d buy a 5196 + 5227 hybrid: 5196 dial and case shape/size with automatic movement and officer case back. Unfortunately Patek do not make a small seconds movement in automatic.

I’m in the same boat trying to decide which calatrava. With 7.6” wrist, leaning forward towards the larger (39mm) 5227
