Encased in a traditional “Calatrava” styled body which represents the firm's history of exquisite watchmaking since 1839, the reference 6007 was launched in 2020 with a stainless steel limited-edition of 1000 pieces to celebrate the firm’s new manufacturer in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva. Later, in 2022, they launched the white gold version with a red, blue or yellow accent. However, besides staying authentic to its heritage, Patek Philippe in recent years have proven to all collectors that they are constantly looking for a continuation innovation to better the qualities of their timepieces and better cater to the current need of the market. This timepiece is in accordance with this desire to provide more playful and colourful configuration.
The timepiece is immediately noticeable from a distance and has already been extremely popular among watch enthusiast for its dynamic and exclusive dial from Patek Philippe. Never-seen-before, the 6007 features a “carbon” pattern embossed inner chapter ring resembling the finishing one would notice on a piece of carbon fiber fabric, which was inspired by the titanium 5208 sold at auction for close to 7m USD. The dial is further enhanced with applied luminous hour markers and hands, that are also quite out of the ordinary for a non-sport styled watches, especially when it is from the Calatrava collection.
