Clatrava Ref. 6196P-001 Platinum
Product Introduction
The Clatrava Ref. 6196P-001 pays tribute to the legendary Calatrava line, first introduced in 1932 with the Ref. 96 – Patek Philippe’s pioneering round wristwatch inspired by the Bauhaus principle that “form follows function”.
This modern reference follows in the footsteps of discontinued models such as Ref. 5169 and Ref. 6119, now refined into a versatile 38mm size to suit the contemporary wrist. The manually finished calibre concept it is inspired by, with ultra-thin architecture and stop-seconds, reflects a return to slim, elegant movements dedicated to small seconds — reinforcing the brand’s commitment to traditional handcraft and timeless design.

Story Behind the Watch
The Calatrava line has been synonymous with understated elegance since 1932, when Ref. 96 redefined the modern round dress watch. The Ref. 6196P-001 continues that legacy with a more compact 38mm case, echoing the spirit of historic references while adapting to today’s taste for refined proportions.
Inspired by the ultra-thin 30-255 PS movement with extended power reserve and stop-seconds, this model celebrates the revival of slim calibres dedicated to small seconds. As one of the most artisanal Calatrava-style executions in recent years, it embodies Patek Philippe’s devotion to traditional craftsmanship, mechanical purity, and timeless design.
Style
A pure expression of classic elegance — minimalist, refined, and perfectly balanced. The opaline rose-gilt dial, clean case lines, and modern strap create a sophisticated look ideal for those who appreciate discreet luxury and a vintage-inspired dress watch aesthetic.
