The Patek Philippe Calatrava is the round dress watch the company has made since 1932, and in 2026 it is the least expensive way into a new or recent Patek: on 21 September 2026 Bizak's sourced catalogue listed current men's Calatravas from US$31,752 for a 6007G-010 to US$58,708 for a platinum 6196P-001, with the 6119G-001 at US$33,681, the steel 5212A-001 Weekly Calendar at US$39,037, the 5226G-001 at US$41,729 and the rose gold 5227R-001 at US$46,041, all sourced to order. Women's Calatravas start lower, from US$17,856 for a 7119J-010. Patek publishes its retail prices on its own product pages and they rise most years, but the Calatrava is the one Patek family that usually trades at or a little below retail on the secondary market. This guide lists the prices by reference, explains what each current Calatrava is, covers the Pilot and women's versions and the discontinued references worth knowing, and sets out what to check before buying. Bizak & Co. sources the Calatrava to order; the Calatrava collection lists the configurations we can seek.

What is the Patek Philippe Calatrava?
The Calatrava is Patek Philippe's round dress watch, named after the Calatrava cross that the company adopted as its emblem in 1887. The first reference, the 96 of 1932, was a 31 mm case with a flat bezel, straight lugs and a plain dial that owed a good deal to the Bauhaus, and it was made for more than 40 years. Since then the name has covered every round time-only Patek, from the 1940s and 1950s references 570, 2508 and 2526 through the hobnail-bezel 3919 of the 1980s and 1990s, the 5196, 5119 and 5120 of the 2000s, and the current 6119, 5227, 5226, 6007 and 5212. In Patek's structure the Calatrava also includes the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time watches and the women's 4997, 7200, 7122 and 7119. The Patek Philippe collection index lists the current references. What unites them is the round case, the emphasis on the dial and the fact that they are the least expensive Pateks with an in-house mechanical movement.
Which men's Calatravas are in the catalogue in 2026?
- 6119G-001 and 6119R-001. Introduced in 2021 to replace the 5119 and 5196: a 39 mm case with the Clous de Paris hobnail bezel, a charcoal (G) or silvery (R) dial with small seconds, and the new hand-wound calibre 30-255 PS with two barrels and 65 hours of power reserve. The 6119 is the Calatrava most buyers mean when they ask for "the hobnail one".
- 5227G, 5227J and 5227R. A 39 mm officer-style Calatrava with a hinged dust cover over the sapphire back, a date at 3 and the automatic calibre 324 S C; the rose gold 5227R-001 has an ivory lacquer dial.
- 5226G-001. Introduced in 2022: 40 mm white gold with a textured charcoal-grey dial, a date and the calibre 26-330 S C, on a calfskin strap with a Clous de Paris case flank.
- 6007G-001, -010 and -011. The 40 mm white gold Calatrava with a carbon-pattern dial in three colour accents, derived from the steel 6007A-001 that Patek issued in 2020 to mark its new manufacture building.
- 5212A-001. The Weekly Calendar, 40 mm in steel with a hand-lettered dial showing day, date, week number and month, driven by the calibre 26-330 S C J SE. It is the only steel Calatrava in regular production.
- 6196P-001. A 38 mm platinum Calatrava with a salmon dial and small seconds, the dressiest current reference and the most expensive time-only Calatrava on 21 September 2026 at US$58,708.
Calatrava Pilot Travel Time: 5524, 5924 and 5520
The Calatrava Pilot line began with the 5524G in 2015, a 42 mm white gold pilot's watch with a second hour hand for home time, day-night indicators and the automatic calibre 324 S C FUS, followed by the 37.5 mm steel 5522A limited edition in 2019, the 37.5 mm 7234 and the 5524R. The 5924G of 2024 adds a flyback chronograph, and the 5520P of 2019 is a platinum alarm Travel Time with a striking alarm and a 24-hour second zone. These are Calatravas by family name but sports watches by function, and they trade near retail. On 21 September 2026 our catalogue listed the 5524G-010 at US$61,187, the 5924G-001 at US$65,868, the 5924G-010 at US$67,365 and the 5520P-001 at US$147,598, all sourced to order.
Which Calatravas are made for women?
The women's Calatravas are the lowest-priced watches in the Patek catalogue. The 7119J-010 is a 31 mm yellow gold hobnail-bezel watch; the 7122/200G and 7122/200R are 33 mm with a diamond bezel and the hand-wound calibre 215 PS; the 4997/200R-001 is 35 mm rose gold with a diamond bezel, a purple dial and the ultra-thin automatic calibre 240; the 7200/200R-001 is 34.6 mm rose gold with the same movement and a silvery opaline dial; the 4897/300G-001 is 33 mm white gold with diamonds and a blue dial. The 4978/400G-001 and 4899/901G-001 are the gem-set versions at 36.5 and 36 mm. On 21 September 2026 our catalogue listed the 7119J-010 at US$17,856, the 7122/200G-001 at US$22,281, the 7122/200R-001 at US$22,833, the 4997/200R-001 at US$32,896, the 4897/300G-001 at US$42,678, the 7200/200R-001 at US$42,901, the 4978/400G-001 at US$66,950 and the 4899/901G-001 at US$98,365, all sourced to order.
Which discontinued Calatravas are worth knowing?
| Reference | What it is | Why buyers look for it |
|---|---|---|
| 96 (1932 to 1973) | 31 mm, the original Calatrava, many dial variants | The founding reference; sold at auction with an extract from the archives |
| 570 and 2526 | 35 to 36 mm 1940s and 1950s Calatravas; the 2526 was Patek's first automatic | Larger vintage cases; the 2526 enamel dial is a collector's target |
| 3919 (1985 to 2006) | 33.5 mm hobnail bezel, hand-wound 215 PS | The 1990s Calatrava; small and thin, often inherited |
| 5196 (2004 to about 2021) | 37 mm, flat bezel, small seconds, 215 PS | The purest modern Calatrava; replaced by the 6119 |
| 5119 (2006 to about 2021) | 36 mm hobnail bezel, 215 PS | The 3919's successor; replaced by the 6119 |
| 5296 and 5297 | 38 mm automatic with date, 324 S C | Larger automatic dress Pateks at moderate prices |
| 6006G (2017 to about 2021) | 39 mm white gold, pointer date, 240 PS C | Replaced by the 6007G; a design collectors like |
Discontinued Calatravas trade on condition, papers and dial: a 5196 or 5119 with box and certificate typically asks somewhat less than the 6119 that replaced it, and the vintage 96 and 570 go from modest sums for plain examples to auction results for rare dials. Order an extract from the archives for any Calatrava older than about 2000, and read our vintage Patek Philippe authentication guide before buying a 96 or 570.
How much does a Patek Philippe Calatrava cost in 2026?
- Retail. Patek Philippe publishes list prices on its product pages, and they rise most years. The Calatrava is the entry to the brand: the women's 7119 and 7122 sit at the bottom of the whole catalogue, the 6119, 6007 and 5212 in the next band, the 5227 and 5226 above them, and the platinum 6196P and gem-set women's references at the top. Unlike the Nautilus and Aquanaut, most Calatravas can be bought at retail with a wait rather than an allocation.
- Secondary market. Because supply is steady, Calatravas trade at or a little below retail, and a pre-owned example with certificate is usually the cheaper route. On 21 September 2026 our catalogue listed men's references from US$31,752 (6007G-010) to US$58,708 (6196P-001) and women's from US$17,856 (7119J-010), all sourced to order.
- What moves the price. Metal (platinum above rose gold above white gold above yellow gold on most current references), full set with certificate, unpolished case and, for the 5227, an unmarked dust cover hinge. Steel 5212A and 6007A examples trade above their gold equivalents because steel is rare in the line.
- Investment. The Calatrava is bought to be worn. It holds value steadily and rarely spikes; the exceptions are steel limited editions and vintage references with rare dials. Buy the one whose dial and size you like; if resale matters, ask for a written cash-buy assessment before you commit.
Those figures describe what we saw and will move. Ask for a dated quote for the exact reference and set; our Patek Philippe price guide explains how to compare quotes across references.
Buying a Patek Philippe Calatrava: what to check
- Certificate of origin. Movement and case numbers matching the watch; Patek does not reissue it. For a 5196, 5119, 3919 or older, an extract from the archives confirms the original configuration.
- Dial. Crisp printing and correctly spaced markers; on a 6119 the hobnail bezel should be sharp under a loupe, and on a 5227 the ivory lacquer should be free of hairlines.
- Case. Sharp lug bevels and crisp hallmarks; Calatrava cases are thin and polish quickly to soft edges.
- Dust cover. On the 5227, the hinged cover should close with an invisible seam and no play in the hinge.
- Movement. Correct calibre for the reference; the 30-255 PS in the 6119 should hold close to 65 hours, the 215 PS in older references about 44 hours.
- Strap and buckle. Straps are consumables; the pin buckle or deployant should be original, hallmarked and in the matching metal.
- Price against the band. A full-set Calatrava offered well under the market is the single most reliable warning sign.

Quick answers
How much is a Patek Philippe Calatrava?
On 21 September 2026 Bizak's sourced catalogue listed current men's Calatravas from US$31,752 for a 6007G-010 to US$58,708 for a 6196P-001, with the 6119G-001 at US$33,681 and the 5227R-001 at US$46,041, and women's Calatravas from US$17,856, all sourced to order.
What is the cheapest Patek Philippe Calatrava?
The women's 7119J-010 at 31 mm, listed at US$17,856 on 21 September 2026, followed by the 33 mm 7122/200G and 7122/200R at about US$22,300 to US$22,800. Among men's references the 6007G-010 at US$31,752 and 6119G-001 at US$33,681 were the lowest.
Is the Calatrava a good investment?
It holds value steadily rather than appreciating quickly. Calatravas trade at or a little below retail because supply is steady; steel limited editions and vintage references with rare dials are the exceptions.
What is the difference between the Calatrava 6119 and 5227?
The 6119 is 39 mm with a hobnail bezel, small seconds and the hand-wound calibre 30-255 PS. The 5227 is 39 mm with a smooth bezel, a date, the automatic calibre 324 S C and a hinged dust cover over the caseback.
Can you buy a Calatrava at retail?
Usually, with a wait. Most Calatravas are sold through authorised retailers without the allocation system that governs the Nautilus and Aquanaut, though the steel 5212A and new releases can take longer.
