Don't get me wrong, I love the Nautilus as much as the next guy, but just for a change, I present to you a 5296G on a matte blue Camille Fournet strap. If you have an itch that needs to be scratched without waiting for several years, go pick one of these up, probably at a discount! It is clean, it is simple, it has perfect proportions, you can dress it up or down...

rmlovett1 · 12 April 2018, 09:37 AM

Very nice!

toucan · 12 April 2018, 09:41 AM

Excellent!

Vipes · 12 April 2018, 09:59 AM

That’s gorgeous!

Ichiran · 12 April 2018, 10:05 AM

Yes, the beautiful 5296G

Very nice! Looks like the dial wears bigger than 38mm. Wear it in the best of health!

It does. Being pretty thin with a thin bezel, I'd say it wears more like a 39-40mm piece.

BREATHTAKING! Very cool. Congrats.

rfatm3f · 12 April 2018, 10:47 AM

The 5296 is my favorite calatrava by far. Your combo especially so.

AK797 · 12 April 2018, 10:53 AM

Looks very smart. Is that a Patek? Why the funny shape?

Navarino · 12 April 2018, 11:01 AM

Congrats OP. That has to be one the best looking Calatrava's I've seen.

kneedeep · 12 April 2018, 11:54 AM

Dress watch extraordinaire. Congrats! Nice move.

sensui · 12 April 2018, 12:13 PM

Beautiful watch, very classy

Chiboy · 13 April 2018, 12:04 AM

That is very, very nice! I do toy with the idea of getting a nice, simple gold (white or yellow) Patek Calatrava to wear when going fancy.

VFA · 13 April 2018, 10:59 AM

Thats a weird looking nautilus. Thank god finally a good thread. Beautiful calatrava.

Patek doesn't want to be a one watch brand like AP. That is why the nautilus is so scarce. That is why they aren't increasing production of the nautilus. So that we consider other pieces. Thierry's words not mine.

Reloko · 13 April 2018, 11:25 AM

I have been hunting for a Nautilus as my first Patek. As all of us know, it will be years for one at an AD. Paying a premium thru a grey dealer was not an option for me.
Given the same movement as the 5711 plus precious metal, 5296 was a nice option for me.
The wait for the Nautilus continues......

That is a really clean piece. Love it in white gold. Thanks for sharing.
