Catalogue Essay
Whenever Patek Philippe announces a limited edition launch, the hype is always real. This was the case in 2019 when Patek Philippe released the Calatrava ref. 6007A to celebrate the firm’s new manufacture building “PP6” dedicated for the creation, development and production of Patek Philippe watches.

The result is the handsomely attractive stainless steel Calatrava ref. 6007A limited edition of 1,000 pieces. Praised by collectors due to its incorporation of stainless steel, the multi-finished blue dial is a fascination on its own. While it displays various tones and hues of blue on the dial, the main dial features a carbon textured finish that contrasts subtly against its satin-finished chapter rings. With highly legible white gold applied Arabic numerals each filled with luminous material, the aesthetics are simple yet refreshing. Once turned over to its caseback, a transparent display is noticeable further inscribed with “New Manufacture 2019” to celebrate the milestone of the firm.

The present example Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 6007A from circa 2021 is the first to be offered at a PHILLIPS auction. We are excited to offer to you all at the Hong Kong Watch Auction: XIV a stellar example of the rare reference that collectors have been eyeing on since its launch.
