The more I look at it the more I dislike it......
Nothing really new about Patek 6007.... It just a modified Patek 5091..... 6007 will flop over time..... I hope Patek won't turn into another AP with all kind of limit edition watch.... ![]()

No offence meant but if I had a dollar for every time i read that: - Rolex is going to be out of fashion in a couple of years - Rolex model xxx is mass produced and is not worth the price - AD xxxx (e.g. WOS) has called in the administrators - Watch prices are going to tank because of ...... - Patek is going to be sold this year - Patek has lost it edge and is going down the drain I actually could afford myself a Grand Complication ![]() |

This. I also love (and own) the 5320g and would love to own a 5172g (maybe next piece). I also really like this edition. A limited steel Calatrava is cool, no matter what, and this one is super sharp. It’ll be a dream to wear. It’s the perfect case size for me and I dig the modern touches over the more classic PM Calatravas. As far as the movement — the 324 SC is a GREAT movement. I have the 330 in my 5711 and guess how often I care that the second hand hacks. Never. PS. My AD thinks I’m getting one. Fingers crossed. |

Just spoke to a buddy of mine who buys from the Geneva salon. His rep told him watch is sold out, unobtanium and that the Geneva salon is getting 100 or so pieces. All gone. That seems really high. If the salons get 100 each, leaves very few for the rest of the ADs. Not sure how accurate that is.

Cheers Russell. I love the regulator, especially the G. The regulator to me is PP doing something very different, and a beautiful product is the result of it. I have no horse in this race, and I’d like to think that affords a bit more objectivity not needing to take a side. On my prior post - I think disappointment maybe a better term than negativity, reflecting vibe. Cutting out the noise, there is marked disappointment - because of the lazy design and lazy effort almost like the intern class of 2020 put this release out, and that reflects on the brand inevitably. All the pieces will be sold and this will be on premium with the greys soon, no doubt. Polarizing is one thing - but disappointing is dangerous.

Thank you for your views. Always admired your collection and views on watches. I’m not a buyer here as I said on a prior response, so no stakes either side. I don’t understand the comment on status/Asia and having the confidence to buy, or PN comparison etc - not relevant to what I posted man. Cheers

All this deep human strife and suffering will produce some EPIC music...
...except for EDM, hip-hop, and trap. Some things are beyond repair ![]() Does any of it really matter? We're all dead anyway... eventually... ticking away second by second at 4Hz... or a more grueling 3Hz... ;-)

The Calatravox is unimaginative. Nothing new from PP since the Regulator and the 5212a IMO. Everything else based on previous references.

Haters gonna hate.
Remember what people said about the Nautilus years ago? And the Aquanaut years ago? :) Mr. Stern couldn't move Aquanauts even if his life depended on it back in the early days. |

New patek philippe ref.6007A-001

Sensitive much? Did you design the watch? Why is your ego on the line here? PP doesn’t need a fanboi flaming a post on their behalf. They couldn’t care less about your opinion and you’re not going to get an allocation no matter how much you try defend their product. I’m entitled to my opinion and I haven’t attacked anyone, certainly not you and yet you act like it’s your watch I’m spitting on. Jeez. Grow up and stay classy. ![]()

The watch is a unique piece, if you are a collector you would do everything to get one, if you are no collector you will not get one or not so easy, so what cares?
The case is in steel, it is also cheap, when you compare with other pieces from PP, that unicorn is from PP so you cannot compare with any other brand.... for a collector it’s like the cherry on the cake. Patek is Patek ![]() For example in 2 weeks AP will increase the price for 6% than a usual 15500 will only cost 20% less than the limited 6007 ![]() The watch is not usual but no limited model was usual, look at the Aqua terminator, Nauti brick stone..., also the 6007 is not a usual piece. It has much more details than any other Cala before und it will be also the last one from the 6000 series. |

I should have written nothing truly imaginative since Genta designed the Nautilus for them over 40 years ago. They've been living on derivatives of their dress watches and more recently derivatives of their outsourced Nautilus design. Where is the design genius inside PP? Pretty much the same can be said for Rolex except the Skydweller was pretty creative functionally.
