{"product_id":"patek-philippe-calatrava-as12861","title":"Patek Philippe Calatrava","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Calatrava has spent more than 90 years establishing the rules for the quintessential Patek Philippe dress watch. The Ref. 6007G seems perfectly happy breaking a few of them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduced in 2023 as a trio of white-gold models distinguished by red, yellow, or blue accents, the 6007G took the traditionally restrained Calatrava in a decidedly sportier direction. This Ref. 6007G-011 is the blue version, and arguably one of the most unexpected Calatravas in the modern catalog.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts polished 18K white gold case measures 40mm, providing the classical foundation. From there, things get considerably more playful. The ebony-black dial features applied white-gold Arabic numerals filled with luminous material, broad luminous hands, and a date window at 3 o’clock. Bright blue details animate the minute and seconds tracks, including a blue central seconds hand that gives the watch an almost instrument-like quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut the centerpiece is exactly that: the center of the dial. Patek gave it a textured “carbon” pattern inspired by motorsport, then repeated the motif on the black calfskin strap. Contrasting blue stitching ties the whole thing together. It’s an unusual vocabulary for a Calatrava, particularly one executed in precious metal, but that tension is precisely what makes the 6007G interesting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInside is the self-winding Calibre 26-330 S C, visible through the sapphire caseback. Finished to Patek Philippe standards and bearing the Patek Philippe Seal, the movement offers central seconds, a date indication, and a power reserve of up to approximately 45 hours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example is accompanied by a few factory goodies, including its Certificate of Origin, books, signed leather folio, and leather pouch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Ref. 6007G-011 may carry the Calatrava name, but it clearly wasn’t interested in becoming another conventional dress watch. Carbon-inspired textures, electric blue accents, luminous Arabic numerals, and white gold shouldn’t necessarily work this well together. Somehow, they do.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398374584407,"sku":"40931161","price":42950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS12861_40931161_PATEKPHILIPPE_CALATRAVAWGBLUE_6007G-011--6.jpg?v=1792528018","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/patek-philippe-calatrava-as12861","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
