Our Thoughts:
The overall aesthetics of the 5226G changes the perception of what a Calatrava Patek Philippe looks like. The unique new dial design with the texturing adds a lot of sportiness to the watch that caters more to the modern needs. At first it might not strike you as a through and through Patek Philippe, but if you throw out the assumptions, we have a beautifully designed watch that grows on you.
Decorated by Clous de Paris along the mid-case is something that is classic but more importantly accentuates the slim profile of the watch and contrasts nicely with the simple muscular lines of the angular case.
