Catalogue Essay
Considered the oldest official Patek Philippe model, the Calatrava was introduced in 1932, the same year the Stern family took the reins of the illustrious manufacture. The first Calatrava reference was the 96, which remains to this day a pinnacle of functional and understated elegance.
In 2005, Patek Philippe introduced the reference 6000, directly inspired by the reference 5000. The latter was introduced in 1992 and featured a 34mm case and an off-center subsidiary seconds display. Its successor features the same classic case, but in 37mm, and micro-rotor powered automatic movement, and with the addition of a pointer date. The reference 6000 appeared on the market in 2015, and was discontinued in 2017 in favor of the reference 6006, which features a 39mm case size.
Fitted with an attractive sunburst blue dial and legible red crescent moon date indicator, the present 6000G is fresh-to-the-market from the original owner and complete with its original accessories in nearly unworn overall condition.
