Question 1

How does The 1916 Company authenticate a pre-owned 5120G?

Accepted Answer

Every 5120G we offer goes through a full authentication review covering the case, dial, movement, and serial numbers. We confirm caliber 240 movement integrity, verify the exhibition caseback and hobnail bezel are correct to the reference, and check available documentation including any Extract from the Patek Philippe Archives. Each watch is backed by The 1916 Company's 2-year warranty. Contact us directly to inquire about a specific piece.

Question 2

What makes the 5120G stand out among Calatrava references?

Accepted Answer

The 5120G brings together three things that rarely coexist in a production dress watch: an 18k white gold case at 35mm, a hobnail (Clous de Paris) bezel that catches light differently from every angle, and the caliber 240 automatic movement at just 2.53mm thick. The caliber 240 is one of the slimmest self-winding movements in watchmaking. The dial shows only hours and minutes, with painted Roman numerals and feuille hands. No date, no seconds hand. The exhibition sapphire caseback puts the 22K gold micro-rotor on full display. Production has ended, so the pool of available examples is not growing.

Question 3

Does box and papers matter for the 5120G, and what should I look for in terms of condition?

Accepted Answer

Box and papers, especially a Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin and any Extract from the Archives, are meaningful for this reference. They confirm the original sale date and help establish provenance for future transfers. On condition, pay close attention to the hobnail bezel: the fine pyramid texture shows polishing damage quickly, and an over-polished bezel loses definition. The white dial should be free of hairlines or discoloration at the Roman numerals. The 1916 Company details condition fully on each piece and stands behind every watch with a 2-year warranty.
