Catalogue Essay
- Debuted in Baselworld 2017, the present reference 6006G Calatrava is a classic dress watch with a twist of contemporary Bauhaus charm. Featuring a vintage style analog date display with an unconventional, off-centered seconds subdial between 4 and 5’o clock, the present timepiece boasts an eccentric design that is specifically tailored for its calibre 240 PS C movement.

- The reference 6006G is the youngest generation of the family powered by calibre 240 PS C, with its predecessor being the reference 5000 introduced in 1991. Despite the radical design, ref. 5000 was lauded by the horological community for its ultra-thin, automatic calibre.

- In 2005, the model was superseded by the launch of the 6000 series, which featured an increase in diameter from 33mm to 37mm, as well as the addition of a radial date display on the outermost ring. The present ref. 6006G in white gold features an enlarged, modern size of 39mm that offers greater space and attention to the extraordinary geometric design vocabulary of the dial.
What distinguishes the present timepiece from its relatives is the richness in the textures and originality in the details.

- A close inspection of the surface reveals its varying finissage; the innermost circle consists of an ebony black sunburst finish, followed by a silver, guillochéd minute ring and seconds subdial, all of which is surrounded by an hour ring and date track that consists of uncluttered Arabic numerals with circular brushing. The skeleton hands and red arrow tip is also highly legible.

- Sleek but understated, this very well-preserved reference 6006G is the perfect entry level modern Calatrava with undeniable elegance.

Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
