My choice would be the 3820. The combination of breguet numbers and those beautiful hands (anyone know what they are called?) combined with the lack of a seconds hand makes it for me. Not to mention those gorgeous tear drop lugs.

It is the perfect tux watch with its small size and shiny black croc strap.

Whats your favorite calatrava?

Have to go with the one I own! 5153G

Breguet hands. Perhaps you should look into getting a Breguet?

3820 :)

Close second would be the Harrods 3923, only 35 made (36 including sn 0).

lapince · 3 December 2016, 07:25 AM

5524 imho, and yes it is a Calatrava, never understood why but it is

goog53 · 3 December 2016, 08:18 AM

Easy Choice for Me...Ref 570 in Rose.

Yeah, that's a great reference. A more realistic one for me would be the 5196p

He said most beautiful ever made. LOL! 5196P is such a beauty. Would be nice if they offered same dial configuration in Rose and Yellow for modern day 5196s

Excellent point. Why would anyone want any of these??? Interesting to hear that Breguet is a better choice.

Nice. Whats the reference of the first one?

enjoythemusic · 3 December 2016, 02:45 PM

First one is a limited edition Harrods (35 numbered examples made plus number 00, which was for the museum yet it somehow got shipped to one of my online friends). Had one and liked the gold droplets on the minutes better than the 3939H where PP simply uses black dots. It is a 3923 "Harrods", silver dial, 215 handwind movement and all were rose gold.

More info, when my friend sold 00, is at

Maybe something to look forward to next year. An updated movement and exhibition case back would be nice as well!

This is my favourite Calatrava.

To me the authentic Calatrava is synonymous of a small case watch with a hobnail bezel, tried to like them but its not really my style. So yeah all these dress watches that are being posted look so much better

kilyung · 4 December 2016, 12:50 PM

The own that you own.

echauhan · 4 December 2016, 01:33 PM

the 5153J , Beauty-ful!
