Calatrava Clous de Paris

6119G-001

$37,510

Formal, office

The 6119 is a textbook modern dress watch: 39 mm, about 8 mm thick, a hobnail bezel and a hand wound movement you can watch through the back. Calibre 30-255 PS added 65 hours of reserve and hacking seconds over the old 215, and the Patek Seal holds it to minus three, plus two seconds a day. Against a Lange or a Vacheron it trades some movement finishing for proportions that suit almost any wrist. Water resistance is only 30 m, so keep it away from the pool.

A 65 hour hand wound movement in an 8 mm Patek dress case.

What owners say

Owners on WatchUSeek call it understated and elegant, and several push buyers to see both gold colours in person because they change its character. Recurring niggles are the dots on the minute track and polished hands that reflect into the dial, which a WatchProSite owner says can make the time hard to read in some light.
