There are few watch events that can rival a limited edition release by Patek Philippe. So when word got out last year, that to celebrate the completion of their new production facility, Patek would be producing a 40mm all steel Calatrava, the entire 1000 pieces sold out 'off plan'. This self-winding time & date only ref. 6007/A-001 is understated and 'everyday wearable', however something about it's aesthetic (maybe it's the dial), or presence tells us this rare Calatrava will be serious 'Complication' money in years to come.

Featuring a unique grey-blue dial with contrasting "carbon-style" centre, and infilled luminescent hands & arabic markers (rarely seen in a Calatrava), which elegantly frame the railway scale centre track. Powered by PP's self-winding calibre 324 SC movement; visible through the "New Manufacture 2019" emblazened sapphire caseback. Fitted to its embossed blue calfskin strap & waterproof to 30m. This instant classic is accompanied by its Patek Philippe presentation box, booklets, instruction manual, limited edition certificate & Patek international guarantee dated 2020. I doubt we'll ever have another...
