Patek 5227R
Is there any difference between a 5227R Caltrava made in 2013 and one made today? I found a pretty good deal on an early 5227R but if there is some updates on the newer model that the earlier ones don't have-I might change my mind.

1) Baselworld 2013, Patel Philippe 5227 announcement and specs: https://watchesbysjx.com/2013/04/bas...tyle-case.html
2) Patek Philippe 5227R ("current") from their website: https://www.patek.com/en/collection/calatrava/5227R-001 Not an expert, but both are a) 39mm in case diameter, b) have the new "officer" dust cover, c) automatic (self winding), d) 324 SC caliber mvmt, e) ~45 hour power reserve, f) 29 jewels. Go for the 2013 deal! BTW, how much and which color gold? Last edited by phdezra; 28 February 2021 at 12:40 PM.. Reason: typo fix |

Early models have the model and serial engraved on officer caseback which is cool for watch nerds. Not sure when they stopped doing it

You can purchase a deployant clasp. I almost did, but I prefer the buckle.

I know that, I would never ever change any detail on design of any watch , everything has to be as the manufacturer intended, is my personal rule. Hence my point, it would of been nice that patek original design included the Calatrava deployant. But I get it , they are trying to give the watch a modern look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
