A post that hits home

Dje,

I've owned my 6000G-010 for about 12 months and I love it like you would not believe. I have often considered selling it for another more complicated timepiece. I love the 5035/5146 annual calendars and have considered it quite often. However, I always come back to falling back in love with this watch. There's just something about it that's just amazing. I love so many things about it. I love the 240 caliber in this watch. I love the racing inspired dial that is even nicer than the 001 black dial, in my opinion. I love the size and presence this watch has on the wrist, look at the shots below. I love that this piece comes with a deployant clasp instead of a tang buckle. I love it that I don't know anyone else who owns it, nor do I see anyone on timezone or this site that posts pics of it besides me. The exclusivity so far is really a cool thing to me...

Most of all, I love that the certificate on this watch has my name on it and it's really my first watch. Sure I have a Rolex GMTII, SS Daytona, JLC Reverso, but those were not bought from an AD and the box and papers are either open or have someone else's name on them. This watch is in the archives of Patek Philippe with my name on it. I don't know why, but that means something to me as a collector.

The 6000G may be a the bridge between sporty and classy that no other calatrava really represents as well. I do think the 5296-001 is a close 2nd though.

Thanks for validating my love for this watch. I knew I had to have it the first time I saw it, and getting it was a great pleasure in my life.





Killer dial, killer movement, killer case and design.

Best,

Raj
