No love for the 6006?

I get that the dial can be controversial but I am surprised that the 6006 is not more popular. It is slim, perfect size and has the 240 movement. Can be dressed up or down. As it was only made for 3 -ish years there can’t be that many out there. What am I missing?

Dial is kinda busy but necessarily so with the arrow date indicator. I think it's cool for its uniqueness. Off center/asymmetrical subdials have grown on me for being a little off the beaten path.

nice but dial is busy and frankly there is just too much competition in this price range, goes for all mediocre models from PP. Hell even their complications trade below retail, even though watch lovers can't get enough of them demand does not seem high enough.

This was the first patek I ever saw in person. Blown away. It’s very much unlike anything else.

Is not for everyone...but for those that find the dial really cool sporty. I Like it!
And also the 6000g gray anthracite dial is really nice too.

I tend to like the awkward and generally less popular models of large manufacturers... and that’s no different with this, which I like as well

I like the rose gold one. Not like is the watch that I even been pursing but has a nice bling with the brown dial.
I guess if you want a Calatrava that has more going on and like to be under the radar then G version is your answer.
More importantly if you are happy with it then who cares. I can relate , I have the SD43 TT, that it’s not like the more pursed diver watch, you know, but I love the watch and who cares.

Cheers
