Looking for some advice on a everyday Calatrava

[BPF]

Any advice on a Calatrava model that would let me wear casual and dress. I like the 5196 and classic pieces like that however think to thin and dressy. Any help in models to think about as none of the current ones are doing it for me. Thanks in advance

The 5226g is very versatile and fits perfectly for that daily wearer that can be dressed up. I really love the dial, some folks don't. Comes with 2 very different straps.

5296 sector dal. Very well priced on secondary market. I’d go G and have fun with strap options, particularly in blue themes.

5212, best watch in the complications range.

This is good advice, what I would have said.

Since you said none of the current lineup works for you, I’ll toss out this Moritz Grossmann as a potential casual calatrava option:

I had a 5296g sector dial. Can easily go from dressy to casual with strap change.

5227g with a black dial is great all around choice

My favorite Patek. I wear the 5227G black dial casually on a cognac ostrich strap and it dresses down wonderfully.

Sounds like the 6006g would be perfect

I think a 5196 fits any everyday situation or dress but for swimming. Strap changing is easy for different occasions. Black is formal, brown less so and crazy bright colors are casual.

I personally think that any Calatrava can be worn both casually and for dressy occasions. Just need the right strap for it.
