Red, Yellow, and Sky Blue Accents on the Seconds Hand and Stitching
Patek Philippe constructed a new headquarters and manufacturing facility in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva. To celebrate its completion in June 2020,
a limited edition Calatrava 6007Awas released. This stainless steel model drew inspiration from the "6006" model, which was part of the current collection from 2017 to 2019. It was a timepiece distinguished by its graphical dial.
The newly released "6007G" builds upon the beautiful style of the "6007A," updating it with white gold for an even more refined aesthetic. The fully polished white gold case offers a subtle presence, emitting a delicate sheen.
The 40mm white gold case houses the Caliber 26-330 S C automatic movement. It features a date display window at 3 o'clock and a stop-seconds function for precise time adjustment. The refined finishing of the movement can also be admired through the exhibition case back.
The ebony black dial is adorned with a double minute track, featuring a concentric inner track, a satin-finished hour circle, and an outer minute track with a sunburst finish, creating a beautifully intricate pattern.
Legibility is ensured by the white gold baton hour and minute hands with white luminous coating, and the applied white gold Arabic numerals. The dial combines both design and utility.
Adding to the dynamic appeal of this model are the accents in red, yellow, and sky blue. These colors are applied to the fine markers on the outer minute track, the triangular hour markers on the chemin de fer (rail) style inner minute track, and the slim center seconds hand, creating a striking finish.
The strap is made of black calfskin with a carbon-embossed pattern, featuring stitching and lining that echo the dial colors. This highlights the Maison's playful spirit.
The "6007G" brings a fresh perspective to the traditional Calatrava model. With its elegant yet distinctive character, this model, like the "6007A," is sure to be highly appealing to collectors.
