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 elegant, yet extremely versatile Calatrava which I am sure you'll enjoy thoroughly! 
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...

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
