Pre-Owned Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5227J

The pre-owned Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5227J available through The 1916 Company pairs a 39 mm 18K yellow-gold case with a lacquered ivory dial, yellow-gold dauphine-style hands, applied trapeze-style hour markers, and a shiny chocolate-brown alligator strap. Introduced in 2013 and discontinued in 2026, the 5227J had a roughly 13-year production run. It began with the self-winding caliber 324 S C and later adopted the 26-330 S C, with both movements providing center sweep seconds and an aperture date. The defining feature is its Officer-style hinged caseback with a concealed hinge. Opening the yellow-gold dust cover reveals a glazed inner back and the movement beneath it. Patek Philippe spent two years developing the concealed hinge, which allows the cover to sit almost invisibly within the case. The 9.24 mm case height includes the dust cover, while curved flutes flow from the case flank into the lugs. These details give the 5227J greater mechanical and architectural interest than its restrained dial initially suggests. Every watch is authenticated and backed by The 1916 Company's 2-year warranty.
