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.

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 personal...
Thanks much!
Now I really need to stay healthy to appreciate it to the fullest Cheers, Peter
Great pick-up, great pairing, and great photos !
New Calatrava Worldtime rainbow 🌈 moon 🌝 cover a lot of ground ! Speed up the trend ! 👍
Ha ha! Yes rainbow…
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...
Congratulations,this is a classy Calatrava.
And very versatile in this configuration.
And many thanks to your photos!!
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
Many thanks!
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...
Winding
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
Yes! I think both models are well-made…please share more!!!
We’ve seen a lot of G but very little R!!! Cheers Peter
You’ve captured it very well…
And nice strap! I was impressed at how many news strap options exist at Patek.. Cheers Peter
Many thanks! Making new calibers de novo is not easy…
And to see it on a base model shows the importance of innovation at all levels of the collection. Cheers Peter
