I must say, when first viewing the photos online, I was honestly not excited as the watch was very VC Patrimony Traditionelle for me.

Fast forward an opportunity to see the new models, I was really impressed with the dial. It has many colours and personalities under different lighting conditions - and with the hobnail bezel, case size, and new movement - I felt compelled to order one. I had considered in the past the 5119 and the 5196, but felt less interested because of the "flatness" of the dial (maybe save for the 5196P, there are limited details).

I'm also more open minded after my experience with CODE - where photos aren't necessarily the best representation of the watch in situ - and so fast forward to today, very very happy to purchase my first Calatrava! This is also my first Patek in about 3 years so I'm wondering if this will be a trend?!?!?!

Cheers to other 6119 owners and hope all have a great weekend!

Peter

New Calatrava Worldtime rainbow 🌈 moon 🌝 cover a lot of ground ! Speed up the trend ! 👍

Ha ha! Yes rainbow…

By: pfang56 : August 6th, 2021-13:04

While I didn’t intend to take the photo that way…that moon is definitely incredible. I actually took the watch out of the bank vault to replace the deployant - I did not realize how large the moon phase was relative to my other watches. Spectacular! Hopin...

Sincere congrats Peter on adding this "new generation Calatrava" to your beautiful collection! Many watches are indeed more attractive in the metal than in the pictures, and I agree this is very much the case for the 6119G...

When I saw it in person I was also impressed on a much higher level, despite the great press pictures that I got from Patek (and the equally terrific wristshots from the first forum members who received this allocation)....You've acquired a fresh and very...

Many thanks for your passionate posts!

I took a second look at the boutique following your notes. I do think for some timepieces, PP does an excellent job capturing the spirit of the watch - but many of the photos are static! When the watch is on the wrist, glistening in the sun, or in the sha...

My pleasure. Happy we were of help, but there's indeed no substitute for an in-person experience with most pieces -- and great it worked out so successfully! Looking forward to the next one as well...;-)) Cheers.

By: FabR : August 6th, 2021-16:24

Congratulations,this is a classy Calatrava.

By: jlux : August 6th, 2021-12:04

And very versatile in this configuration.

And many thanks to your photos!!

By: pfang56 : August 6th, 2021-13:11

I received the call the same day you posted your incredible photos…I felt like I needed to rush to the boutique! Hope you are enjoying yours Cheers Peter

Big congrats Peter on getting this timeless PP! Wear it in good health

Many thanks!

By: pfang56 : August 6th, 2021-13:15

And the more I wear it, the more timeless I see this watch being in my future. It’s very easy on the eyes and has a very thin profile - my only observation so far is that the winding is a bit more an effort vs. other manual wind models, but I prefer a lit...

This one is really tempting! I have no doubt it will prove to be timeless!

Winding

By: coz : August 31st, 2021-00:23

Hello, I haven't seen in real life yet. Are you saying the winding has a nice click like feel? I always liked the 5070/3970 winding feel vs the newer 5170 feel for example. Best

Great choice, congrats! :-)

Cheers Peter

I love it too . My 6119 has different metal but both are wonderful

By: Evan1 : August 6th, 2021-21:38

...

Indeed, a very different but equally charming dial for the R version!😍Enjoy.

By: FabR : August 7th, 2021-03:00

Yes! I think both models are well-made…please share more!!!

By: pfang56 : August 7th, 2021-06:42

We’ve seen a lot of G but very little R!!! Cheers Peter

Stunning piece. Enjoy. Cool Calatrava. Congratulations. 🥃💨

By: geross : August 7th, 2021-05:02

Appreciate the note - definitely great with a whiskey…

You’ve captured it very well…

By: pfang56 : August 7th, 2021-14:24

And nice strap! I was impressed at how many news strap options exist at Patek.. Cheers Peter

Congrats, Peter. 6119G is my favorite 2021 novelty too! Enjoy this traditional yet innovative (in terms of the new caliber) Calatrava in good health! Best, Henry

By: joenghenry : August 7th, 2021-10:44

Many thanks! Making new calibers de novo is not easy…

By: pfang56 : August 7th, 2021-14:28

And to see it on a base model shows the importance of innovation at all levels of the collection. Cheers Peter

Big congrats on an amazing pick up. Super classy 👌 💥
