After securing a controlling interest in the firm, Jean and Charles Henri Stern decided to enlist the help of an English designer named David Penney to create a simple watch that would come in at a lower price point and appeal to the firm’s clientele. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUsing the principles espoused by the Bauhaus school and its minimalist, function-first philosophy, Penney conceived the Calatrava, taking its name from the Spanish military order established in the 12th century which had become the symbol of Patek Philippe. Since its debut in 1932, the Calatrava has become a byword for a simple, time-only dress watch — even from brands other than Patek itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis piece, a Reference 6000G, isn’t your run-of-the-mill Calatrava and features a distinctive dial design that was cooly received at launch, but has recently come to be appreciated and sought-after by the enthusiast community at large. With a 37mm 18k white gold case offering polished finishing, a signed crown at 3 o'clock and a date corrector micro-pusher at 10 o'clock and a sapphire sapphire crystal, the 6000G is powered by the self-winding Caibre 240 PS, an exquisitely finished micro rotor automatic visible beneath its sapphire exhibition back. Its grey sunburst dial features white-printed Arabic indices, a silvered central minute track, and an off-center small seconds display fitted between the 4 and 5 o'clock positions. Time is read via a white stick handset with a third red-tipped pointer hand indicating the date on a printed outer track. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBut wait, there's more.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you look closely at the dial, you will notice a signature above 6 o'clock, belonging to none other than the famed New York retailer, Tiffany \u0026amp; Co.  Watches bearing the 'Tiffany' stamp are some of the most sought after in the entire industry, and serve as the crown jewel in many world-class collections. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTiffany stamped 6000Gs don't come to market often, in fact, this is the first we've ever stocked, so get it while you can!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41191341817943,"sku":"40930266","price":33850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS09038_40930266_PATEKPHILIPPE_CALATRAVAANTHRACITETIFFANYDIAL_6000G-010-7.jpg?v=1724015576","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/patek-philippe-calatrava-tiffany-and-co-as09038","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
