Since its introduction in 1932, many consider the Calatrava reference 96 as the paragon of an elegant dress watch. Although the collection has expanded in different directions, fans of the classical, timeless, time-only, ultra-slim, manual-winding dress UK perfect replica watches will be pleased to learn about the latest Calatrava released during Watches & Wonders 2025. With its vintage-inspired rose-gilt opaline dial, luxurious platinum case and larger and more powerful 30-255 PS calibre, one feature gives the new Calatrava ref. 6196P a surprisingly contemporary air.
A follow-up to the long discontinued reference 5196, the new 6196P shares the 96 in its name in honour of its famous ancestor. The 6196 best fake watches come in a slightly larger 38mm platinum case with a slender profile of 9.33mm and a diamond set into the caseband at 6 o’clock. What doesn’t change is the iconic 3-part case of the Calatrava, with flat-edge bezel. Polished with satin-brushed flanks, the smooth bezel is bevelled, and the slender lugs taper elegantly.
While the rose-gilt opaline (salmon-pink dial) is reputedly a nod to vintage UK high quality copy watches and the layout similar to the 5196, the white gold “obus” style hour markers strike a contemporary note. Not because of their shape – similar indices were used on the 5196 – but because of their dark anthracite colour. The contrast of the shiny dark indices and dauphine hands with the matte pink dial is dramatic and nudges the Calatrava into the 21st century.
Another upgrade is the incorporation of the calibre 30-255 PS. Unlike the smaller 21.9mm manual-winding calibre 215 PS powering the 5196 with its 44-hour power reserve, the 30-255 PS has a larger diameter, two mainspring barrels for an extended power reserve of 65 hours and a stop-seconds mechanism. Developed for the larger 39mm Calatrava 6119 presented in 2021, the movement is 31mm in diameter and retains the same ultra-slim height of 2.55mm as the 215 PS. Visible through the caseback, the six elegantly shaped bridges are beautifully finished in characteristic 1:1 wholesale replica Patek Phillippe watches style.
The cheap super clone Patek Philippe Calatrava 6196P watches are paired with a shiny chocolate brown alligator leather strap and a platinum prong buckle.
