Why We Love it
–When one considers the offerings of Patek Philippe, a handful of models will most often spring to mind, depending on personal taste and preference. For those who appreciate the austere elegance of vintage dress watches, there's the classic Calatrava, which has used more or less the same design formula for decades. And for those drawn to the sporty or avant-garde, the Nautilus (with its design penned by Gerald Genta), Aquanaut, or Pilot Travel Time might spring to mind.
For those of us who want the sporty look of the Pilot Travel Time with the classic proportions of a modern Calatrava, there's the Reference 6006G-001.
This model, introduced in 2017, is an updated version of the 6000G, a timepiece that blends classic and modern elements in such a harmonious way and has caught the attention of knowledgeable collectors who might not otherwise be drawn to a Calatrava.
The Reference 6006G-001 captures the sporty look and feel of a pilot's watch while maintaining the svelte size that we've come to expect from a Calatrava. Its 39mm 18k white gold case is crisp and modern, while its off-set subsidiar seconds reister and periphery date display is reminiscent of vintage calendar and triple calendar wristwatches.
The dial features a two-tone display with the date outlined in white Arabic numerals over a dark gray track, while the inner dial shows the hours, again in white Arabic numerals, but over a jet black hue. Combined with a skeletonized ‘stick’ handset, a silver center minute track as well as a constant-seconds sub-dial, what you're left with is a masterclass in functional refinement.
Visible through its sapphire display back, the svelte self-winding Patek Philippe Calibre 240 can be seen dancing away with the artistry and accuracy you'd expect from one of the Big Three. This piece is in outstanding condition throughout and is offered with all of its factory goodies including its box set, leather folio, books and Certificate Of Origin dated November, 2019.
With a classic case design, sharp dial, and a high-grade movement, the 6006G-001 has all of the elements of a contemporary classic!
