Debuted in 2008, Patek Philippe revealed the revolutionary Calatrava reference 6000R-001. Stepping away from traditionally styled timepieces from the historic manufacturer, the brand created a sports-casual timepiece within the Calatrava family.
The watch has an unusual, yet intriguing dial which features an array of chapter rings to distinguish the minutes, hours, seconds, and date. The date complication has a distinct presence by it surrounding the edges of dial and using a red pointer hand for indication. A subsidiary seconds register is boldly placed between 4 and 5 o’clock, bringing a fresh wave of modernity through asymmetry. Reference 6000R-001 is a daring development from the traditional manufacturer and exemplifies an exciting leap into modernity.
