The Patek Philippe 6006G – Looking for a modern Calatrava?
Hi everyone, The Patek Philippe 6006G is an original modern 3-hander (+date) and a discreet evolution launched in 2017 for the 240 caliber’s 40th anniversary (and discontinued in 2020) from the 6000 previous generation (which was produced from 2005 to 2016).

Even though I tend to discuss about what I could wear myself, I tried on, really “for the fun”, this special Calatrava during a press event and, well… I found that it looked surprisingly appealing! The size balance, the overall colors combination but more importantly the way all these diamonds are assembled and placed in a way it offers a terrific show in the end. I learned diamond settings are nice to look at. Hence, for ladies (or for men feeling like it), though this…
