Square Borgel Case 26mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 26 mm case suggests

Patek Philippe Square Borgel Case 26mm measures 35 mm lug-to-lug on a 26 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.35 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 97% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 95% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 39 mm (1.54 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 47 mm (1.85 in) it starts to look compact. Below 35 mm (1.38 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
