Yes. Both the Patek Philippe Ref. 5326G-001 and Ref. 5226G-001 are made with white-gold cases. Patek Philippe also specifies white gold for their applied numerals and hands, so “gold” here means white gold—not yellow gold.

How the two white-gold watches differ

The 5226G-001 is a Calatrava with a date and central sweep seconds. The 5326G-001 is a larger Complications model combining an Annual Calendar with Travel Time, alongside additional indications. The specifications below are those published by Patek Philippe; they are manufacturer-listed figures, not independent measurements.

Specification Ref. 5226G-001 Ref. 5326G-001
Type Calatrava; date and sweep seconds Complications; Annual Calendar and Travel Time
Case White gold; 40 mm diameter, 8.53 mm thick White gold; 41 mm diameter, 11.07 mm thick
Water resistance 30 m 30 m
Indications Date aperture and central sweep seconds Day, date, month, local and home time, local and home day/night, moon phases, and small seconds
Caliber Self-winding 26-330 S C Self-winding 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H
Parts / jewels 207 / 30 409 / 47
Stated power reserve 35–45 hours 38–48 hours
Straps and clasp Beige nubuck calfskin and black patterned calfskin straps; white-gold pin buckle Beige hand-stitched nubuck calfskin and black patterned calfskin straps; white-gold fold-over clasp

Both watches share a charcoal-gray textured dial with a black-gradient rim, beige luminous details, and a hobnail-patterned (Clous de Paris) caseband. Patek Philippe says the dial texture draws inspiration from vintage camera cases. The shared styling can make them look closely related, but the 5326G-001 is 1 mm wider and 2.54 mm thicker by the published case dimensions, as well as more information-dense.

What the Annual Calendar and Travel Time add

On the 5326G-001, the Annual Calendar displays the day, date, and month and accounts for months with 30 or 31 days. It requires one correction each year, at the end of February, according to Patek Philippe’s calendar-watch explanation.

Travel Time provides local and home time, with a day/night indication for each. The watch also displays moon phases and small seconds. Patek Philippe says it presented the first watch combining its Annual Calendar and Travel Time display system in 2022, identifying the 5326G-001 in its explanation.

What the 5226G-001 displays

The 5226G-001 is the simpler of the pair: it shows the time, date, and central sweep seconds. It is not a time-only or no-date model. Its self-winding 26-330 S C caliber and slimmer published case distinguish it from the 5326G-001’s calendar-and-travel complications.

Water resistance and collection status

Patek Philippe lists both references at 30 m water resistance. That rating alone does not establish suitability for swimming or diving.

Patek Philippe’s official collection pages and watch finder do not present a consistent status signal for these references: collection listings label models discontinued while the watch finder has surfaced the 5326G-001 in the current collection. The available listings therefore do not support a definitive claim about whether either model is currently in production. Check with Patek Philippe or an authorized retailer for current availability.
