Description
The 5227 occupies a singular position within the Calatrava family as the reference that most faithfully perpetuates the Officer’s case tradition — a construction in which the movement is accessed not through the case back directly but through a hinged dust cover fitted behind the sapphire crystal, a feature drawn from early twentieth century pocket watch practice that adds both a layer of protection and a compelling tactile ritual to each viewing. The rose gilt-opaline dial of this 2026 introduction is a particularly refined pairing with white gold: the warm amber-gold luminosity of rose gilt opaline against the cool grey of white gold and charcoal-toned markers creates a colour temperature dialogue that reads as vintage in character without resorting to explicit period pastiche. Within the 5227G’s production history this dial variant is immediately distinguishable from all prior executions.
The 39mm fully polished white gold case carries a concave bezel and curved scalloped lugs, with a sapphire crystal case back protected by a dust cover with invisible hinge. The rose gilt-opaline dial presents charcoal gray white gold applied faceted “obus”-style hour markers, charcoal gray white gold faceted dauphine hands, and a date aperture at three o’clock. A shiny chocolate brown square-scale alligator strap with white gold prong buckle completes the reference. Caliber 26-330 S C, self-winding with Gyromax balance and Spiromax hairspring, with stop-seconds, powers the movement.
