I miss the 5000s, 6000G in both black and grey dial, and the black 6006G. That 6006G they kept too short.
But I'm not crazy about this latest one. But that's okay, I don't have to be crazy about everything. Thank you for this excellent post that combines a bit of history with it!
Live report on the new reference 6007G
The only picture with all four versions together The new reference 6007G is perhaps the most important release in the collection for many reasons. Its accessibility compared to the other new releases at lower price point and "younger looks" as Patek tries...
thanks for the lovely photos
I too prefer the steel version over these new releases but unfortunately not lucky enough to own one.... The new release is a welcome one although I am not quite sure of the reason to go with 3 colors at the same time... but if I was to choose I would eas...
Anyone else look at these and think...
that Patek is pushing into a more contemporary sporty colorful design direction, but that they are not quite at home yet with those kinds of designs?
that is an excellent way of phrasing it.
some of their new designs, including certain rare handcraft, look extremely contrived. it is like an old noble gentlemen who wants to become a boxing champion. he will probably end up being the laughing stock of the audience.
I actually like these
They would be a great everyday watch. I think they missed the mark on water resistance. If these were at 50m I could see it being great to wear , weekend getaway, maybe hotel pool or by beach. 100m and it could replace the nautilus for me. The colors are ...

6006g for sure
for some reason 6006 was never a reference that got attention, personally I found it very appealing and was looking forward to additional iterations of it.. a pity as it has so much potential to create varieties out of!
Most people never liked the 6000 nor the 6006...
All of the people in my family didn't like it and thought I was crazy for thinking of buying one. Over a decade ago I was going to acquire the 6000G, it had my requirements; date, micro rotor, and a deployment clasp and I liked the look. Apparently I was ...
yes
I was a big fan of the black 6000G and still contemplate one every once in a while... perhaps one day I will stumble upon one
I hope so!
I liked both the black and the grey 6000G. Wouldn't mind having one on my wrist...
hope you will find one for you...!
personally I was hoping the 6006 would see further iterations before taken off the shelf but seems Patek thought differently!
Thank you…
very much, the photos and report are greatly appreciated. Your photos tells me I was right in contacting my AD about these watches. Again thanks for all of your hard work.
Thank you so much for your work and time, mon ami. I still damn the issues I had with my phone network which made me miss you. As for this watch, I could see it through the window display and...
In real, it is even more evident than on pictures... The Yellow makes me think of an Amvox One R, in platinum. Nice Calatramvox! Best, mon ami. Nicolas
Thanks Imran for sharing your knowledge and the history of the 6007 !
These brighter (bolder) colors demonstrate to me that Patek is serious in extending and modernizing the Calatrava line, post the success of 6007A LE. Bring out three colors/version concurrently was a pleasant surprise to me 😃
At almost $38,000 I would prefer a guilloche dial instead of stamped...
...but then I suppose it would be $58k instead : ) Oh, and match the date background to the dial...
thank you so much, what a nice write up
thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice pics too. May I ask how did you get access to W&W if you traveled on your own dime ? I thoguth you need some kind of invitation / press tickets ?
