Patek Philippe Calatrava ’Officers Watch’ Reference 5022G-012 in Solid 18kt White Gold with Extremely Rare White Enamel “FD Blanc Porcelaine H-Breguet” Dial, Hand-Painted Black Breguet Arabic Numeral Hour Markers, Black Feuille Hands, Small Seconds at 6 O’Clock, Round Three-Body Case with Curved Lugs and Double Stepped Bezel, Manual-Winding Patek Philippe Caliber 215 PS Movement, Solid Snap Case Back, 33mm.

The 33mm solid 18kt white gold round three-body case, curved lugs, and double stepped bezel are polished. The proportions follow the classic Calatrava architecture, delivering a refined and balanced wrist presence with a slim 7mm profile. The standout feature is the extremely rare white enamel “FD Blanc Porcelaine H-Breguet” dial, executed in traditional enamel with hand-painted black Breguet Arabic numerals. The depth and purity of true enamel create a luminous, glass-like surface that cannot be replicated with lacquer. Black feuille hands complement the dial, and a subsidiary small seconds register is positioned at 6 o’clock for symmetry. The dial, case, and movement are all signed. The watch is fitted with a solid snap case back preserving the purity of the design.

This Patek Philippe 5022G-012 is powered by the mechanical manual-winding Patek Philippe caliber 215 PS movement. Rhodium-plated and finished with fausses côtes embellishment, the movement is constructed with 18 jewels and features a Gyromax balance adjusted for precision. It oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers approximately 44 hours of power reserve. The caliber reflects Patek Philippe’s commitment to compact architecture, fine finishing, and long-term reliability within a slim dress watch format.

First introduced in 1932 with Reference 96, the Calatrava became the benchmark for classic dress watches and established the blueprint for restrained, Bauhaus-inspired design in horology. Reference 5022G continues that lineage with its faithful proportions and traditional enamel dial execution. Though not a limited edition, examples featuring the “FD Blanc Porcelaine H-Breguet” enamel dial are seldom encountered, making this reference particularly desirable among collectors who appreciate traditional craftsmanship and understated refinement. Elegant, historically grounded, and technically precise, this Calatrava embodies the essence of Patek Philippe’s dress watch philosophy.

If you are looking for a classy timekeeper that you don’t see everywhere, this is an excellent, ornate option.

For many, owning a Patek Philippe is the ultimate goal of timepiece collecting, and for a certain type, it is the only timepiece they collect. Whichever way you look at it, there is no questioning the elegance of design, the superlative manufacture of their cases and movements, or the sheer elegance and emotion that comes from owning one.

Of course for a brand that is steeped in heritage, we are told “You never actually own a Patek Philippe…”

Well, you know the rest.
