Renewed Patek Philippe 6000
Hello. I wanted to share this Patek Philippe 6000 recent story. Bought it second hand in New York, took it back to London, had it serviced at Patek Philippe salon which took five months….but I’m so pleased with its new life and outlook, brand new Patek blue strap, polished gold case and clasp. Completely renewed mechanism, new crown. Feels lovely.
Glad that Patek serviced this superb Calatrava to your full satisfaction...and this blue alligator is indeed a real beauty! Time to enjoy thoroughly! ;-)
I would have never considered a shiny navy blue strap on a black faced watch...
However I sure like the way this one looks on your black faced Patek, simply stunning 
+1 on both counts, indeed not the first color combo one would think about (but it does work out real well here! ;-)
Blue and black
Thanks Fab, it was a gamble choosing this blue from the palette I was given. And definitely was relieved and pleased when I collected it five months after! Thanks
Navy blue
Agree and as I said it was a gamble. But it now looks more contemporary to me, fresh and shiny still subtle and never bling. Thanks Miki
Definitely very nice watch. Wonderful pictures. 👍
Congratulations. Fantastic watch movement the cal 240. Cool watch.
Cheers. 🥃

I'm happy that you're happy! I'm one of the few fans of the 6000!
I find the 6000 to be very cool! It's atypical. But still cool! This was going to be my first Patek Philippe, until somehow I changed my mind at the last minute and got a sports watch instead. But the 6000G is still one of my favorites!
Yes indeed! The design was supposedly inspired by a car instrument cluster!
Nobody from Patek Philippe has officially told me this, but I heard this rumor from multiple sources.
Thank you Patrick
Out of curiosity who told you that? Patek employees or collectors? Yes it’s very different to other Patek references that are not classical. I like the slight sporty and speedometer instrument aspect, as well as the rare way of displaying date, with a red moon !
Collectors and Patek Philippe Authorized Dealer personnel. But no published source nor Patek Philippe direct employee.
Congrats Migvel
This is one of my favorite Calatravas…it’s the one that has the most unique design language. Wear it in the best of health!

Design language
Thanks! Yes it is unique in Patek I think, with its slight sporty feel emulating a classic sports car dial. It’s date highlighted by the red moon is also unique. Loved it when I was looking for a first Calatrava. Thanks Gatsby
Painful wait
It was a painful wait, but I loved the result of a new birth and life for this 6000.
