Good evening everyone.

Today, it was announced that the rainy season will end earlier than ever in the Kanto-Koshin region. As the "extremely hot days" with temperatures over 35°C will continue, please be sure to take care of your health by drinking plenty of water and avoiding heatstroke.

Well, this time, the model " Calatrava " " Ref. 6119G-001 ", which was a hot topic when it was announced last year, has arrived for the first time at Commit Ginza (hereinafter referred to as our store), so I would like to introduce it to you. Please enjoy until the end.

"Ref.6119G-001"
"Calatrava" 18KWG

A new release for 2021, the Ref . 6119G-001 is in 18KWG (white gold) and was released along with the 18KRG (rose gold) *Ref. 6119R-001.

※"Ref.5119"

The previous model, Ref. 5119, had a guilloche-decorated "Clou de Paris" bezel, a clean white dial with printed Roman indexes, and a 36mm case diameter, giving it a classical and simple design. (Production ended in 2019.)

In contrast, the "Ref. 6119" we are introducing this time has a larger case diameter of 39mm. It has been changed to an up-ride gold applied index similar to the "Calatrava" "Ref. 5196", the hands are gold dolphin-shaped, and the dial design has a more luxurious feel.

※ "Ref.6119R-001"

We already have several units of the 18K Gold case "Ref. 6119R-001" in stock at our store and have a sales record, but the 18K Gold case "Ref. 6119G-001" that we have just received is the first time we have handled it, and it is a watch that I have been eagerly waiting for, having wanted to see it since it was announced.

The dial of the "Ref.6119R-001" is a warm silver, while the dial of the "Ref.6119G-001" is a vertically satin-finished grey, and the warranty says "ANTHRACITE SATAIN".

If you watch the video on the Patek Philippe official website, you can see that the small seconds hand is a clear two-tone black.

Am I the only one who thinks of the Annual Calendar Regulator "Ref. 5235/50R-001" when I see this dial? (laughs)

In fact, the dial has a very interesting look and feel, as it shows completely different expressions depending on the angle, brightness of the lighting, and color.

*Ref.6119G-001 Reference: Patek.com

Considering that the "Ref.6119" has a "Clou de Paris" bezel, it is often thought to be a successor to the "Ref.3919" and "Ref.5119", but the case design is completely different, following the flow of the original "Calatrava" "Ref.96", and is integrated into the middle case in a flowing manner. This case design is recognizable as a "Calatrava" by anyone who sees it, and I think it is a highly refined watch that firmly incorporates the good parts that have been passed down until now into the modern era.

Furthermore, even though the case diameter has been increased to 39mm, the dial design is well-balanced thanks to the new movement "Cal.30-255PS" which has a diameter of 31mm. The previous movement "Cal.215 PS" was 21.9mm in diameter, nearly 10mm smaller, so the small second hand of the 37mm diameter "Ref.5196" was slightly closer to the center. This time, with the larger movement installed, the position of the small second hand of the "Ref.6119" has been lowered, improving the balance on the dial.

The movement that can be seen through the skeleton back is also very dynamic and impressive. Of course, the functionality has also been improved, with a long power reserve of 65 hours and a hack function (the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out), which is a very welcome upgrade.

The warranty date is 2022. The item is unused, comes with all accessories, and is in very good condition.

The selling price is 4,840,000 yen (tax included)

The official domestic suggested retail price is 3,894,000 yen (tax included), which is a premium price, but considering that there are few units in circulation, the warranty date is relatively recent, and the condition is unused, I think the price is reasonable. The Calatrava is a model that is rarely available, so we highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity.
