Catalogue Essay
Officially introduced in 2022, the Patek Philippe ref. 5526 makes for a distinctive addition to the Calatrava family. With a diameter of 40mm, this timepiece showcases a modern and refreshed aesthetic, featuring syringe hands, applied Arabic numerals, an eye-popping charcoal grey dial with a textured finish and a beige luminescent coating.
A notable feature when examining the watch from the side is the exquisitely crafted Clous de Paris hobnail pattern on the caseband, which adds a touch of traditional elegance. Interestingly, this unique hobnail pattern necessitates a different approach to forging the lugs. Instead of being attached from the caseband, the designers have ingeniously integrated the lugs into the caseback, solving the problem in an innovative and unconventional manner.
Preserved in excellent overall condition, the present Patek Philippe 5526G-001 dated back to 1st April 2022, is arguably one of the earliest examples to emerge from the esteemed Patek Philippe Salon amidst the Watches and Wonders 2022 period.

Artist Biography
Patek Philippe
Swiss
• 1839
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.
Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
