Product Detailed Description

PPF Factory Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226 40mm Automatic Watch

The PPF Factory Patek Philippe Calatrava 5226 combines the restrained proportions of the Calatrava collection with several distinctive design details, including a textured dial and hobnail-pattern case band.

This configuration features a 40mm white-gold-tone plated case, Cal.26-330 automatic mechanical movement, granular textured dial, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and a beige suede calfskin strap.

The combination of traditional round-case proportions and vintage-inspired surface details gives the 5226 a different character from more conventional polished dress watches.

40mm White-Gold-Tone Case

The watch features a 40mm round case with a white-gold-tone plated exterior finish.

Its relatively clean front profile keeps the focus on the dial, while the detailed case band introduces additional texture when viewed from the side.

The 40mm diameter provides a contemporary wrist presence while retaining the restrained proportions associated with a classic dress watch.

Hobnail-Pattern Case Band

One of the defining exterior details is the hobnail-style pattern running around the case band.

This geometric texture, often referred to as a Clous de Paris-style pattern, creates a different visual effect from a conventional smooth case side.

The repeating pattern catches light across the case edge and adds detail without significantly changing the clean appearance when the watch is viewed directly from the front.

Granular Textured Dial

The dial features a distinctive granular surface texture inspired by the aged exterior finish found on vintage camera bodies.

Rather than using a conventional smooth or sunburst surface, the fine grain creates subtle variations across the dial under changing light.

This textured appearance provides additional visual depth while maintaining a restrained overall layout.

Vintage-Inspired Dial Character

The combination of the granular dial surface, traditional round case and textured case band creates a distinctly vintage-inspired character.

The dial remains functional and uncluttered, with central hour, minute and seconds hands together with a date display.

This balance between texture and simplicity is one of the most recognizable characteristics of the Calatrava 5226 design.

Cal.26-330 Automatic Movement

The watch is equipped with a Cal.26-330 automatic mechanical movement configuration.

It provides:

Hours
Minutes
Central seconds
Date display

Automatic winding allows normal wrist movement to replenish the movement’s power reserve during regular use.

If the watch has remained unworn for an extended period, manual winding can be performed before adjusting the time and date.

Mechanical accuracy may vary depending on power reserve, temperature, wearing habits and resting position.

Central Seconds and Date Display

The movement configuration provides a central seconds hand alongside the primary hour and minute indications.

A date display adds practical everyday functionality without introducing additional sub-dials or complications that would significantly alter the clean Calatrava-style dial layout.

Sapphire Crystal with Anti-Reflective Coating

The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal featuring an anti-reflective coating.

Sapphire provides excellent transparency and high resistance to everyday scratches, while the anti-reflective treatment helps reduce glare under different lighting conditions.

The improved clarity is particularly useful for viewing the fine granular texture of the dial.

Direct impacts against hard surfaces should still be avoided.

Beige Suede Calfskin Strap

The watch is paired with a beige suede calfskin strap featuring an embossed texture and matching beige stitching.

The softer suede surface complements the vintage-inspired dial while creating a less formal appearance than a highly polished leather strap.

Because suede can absorb moisture and oils more readily than smooth leather, prolonged exposure to water, sweat and chemical cleaners should be avoided.

Pin Buckle

The calfskin strap is secured with a traditional pin buckle.

The straightforward buckle construction provides convenient adjustment for different wrist sizes while maintaining the understated appearance of the watch.

30m Water-Resistance Specification

The supplied specification lists the watch with 30 meters of water resistance.

A 30m specification should primarily be considered protection against limited accidental moisture rather than an indication that the watch is suitable for swimming or diving.

Water resistance can also change over time depending on seals, crown condition and case assembly.

Wearing and Care Advice

Clean the case gently using a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive polishing products because repeated polishing may affect plated exterior surfaces and textured case details.

The granular dial is protected by sapphire crystal and does not require direct cleaning.

Keep the suede calfskin strap away from prolonged water exposure, perfumes, oils and strong cleaning products. If the strap becomes slightly damp, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat.

The 30m water-resistance specification is not intended for diving use. Avoid swimming or prolonged water exposure unless the individual watch has been professionally pressure tested for the intended activity.
