01 BLAST FROM THE PAST
Featuring an analog date and a seconds sub-dial, the Ref 6006G by Patek Philippe was created as a tribute to the 40th anniversary of the Calibre 240, a highly precise self-winging movement with a rate tolerance between -3 and +2 seconds per day that was used to power the ultra-thin and highly coveted Calatrava Ref 5000. In this latest iteration, the Ref 6006G presents elegant hollowed whitelacquered baton hands for the hours and minutes, which gracefully sweep across plain Arabic numerals, while an additional hand tipped with a redlacquered arrow indicates the current date. The watch is presented with an enlarged case, paired with a dial in silver or ebony, featuring interesting textures and contrasts that serve to enhance the legibility of the timepiece.
