  • Catalogue Essay

    Dubbed as the oldest Patek Philippe model, the Calatrava was introduced in 1932, the same year the Stern family took the reign of Patek Philippe. With a long history of Patek Philippe Calatrava models, the very first was indeed the legendary ref. 96. Over the years, the manufacturer has released various Calatrava models with an array of complications with its most traditional references paying homage to the ref. 96.

    In 2005, Patek Philippe introduced the Calatrava ref. 6000, first fitted with a glossy black dial and encased in white gold and other iterations were launched featuring various case materials such as pink gold and various dial colours such as grey and brown. The ref. 6000 was inspired partly by the ref. 5000 released in the 1990s, similarly a Calatrava model with off-centered small seconds and an inner chapter ring.

    Launched in 2015, the Patek Philippe ref. 6000G features a new dial color in a well-executed vibrant blue that is always a favorite among collectors. Extremely attractive and highly sought after, the blue dial transmits various shades of blue under direct sunlight and made legible with white accents and numerals with a red tipped hand to determine the date. Nicely sized at 37mm diameter, the slim white gold case is made possible via Patek Philippe’s robust and thin micro-rotor cal. 240.

    The present Patek Philippe ref. 6000G with a blue dial is offered in excellent overall condition and is accompanied by the full set of accessories. Discontinued in 2017 and replaced by the new ref. 6006 with a larger 39mm diameter case, the present ref. 6000G in the most desirable blue is with no doubt a timepiece that will surely be admired by collectors in the long run.

    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.

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.
