Patek Philippe Calatrava - fantasy model?

[pezzy]

Hey does anyone know if this patek is a fantasy model?

also anyone who have this model can you please post some wrist shots (preferably someone with skinny wrists). i want to know whether it is too small or not.

Patek experts would be able to give you a better explanation.

But from what I know, I've only known of two combinations:

Calatrava 5196, which has seconds @ 6, but no date

Calatrava 5117G, which has date @3 and centre seconds.

Experts chime in if I am wrong, but this is probably a fantasy model.

And if it is, I've run into only two gen Patek wearers: one at the airport, another who looked like a bag lady.

So if you like it, go for it.

thanks for the response. im actually not too bothered whether its a fantasy or not, its actually the size im more worried about. at the moment im deciding whether to get this or the slightly larger classic chronograph (the fantasy model with two dials at 3 and 9).

Fantasy, and not a particularly good one. On modern dress models, hands & markers should match the case.

Regards.
