I actually posted about the 6006 a while back because I wasn't sure why they were not more popular.

I snagged one a few weeks ago from an AD at a nice price. I love the size and the 240 movement is incredible. It isn't a very popular model which I also like. And its short production run will ensure there are not too many out there in the wild. I am still working on finding the perfect strap for it. I like the nato but it blocks the beautiful

Looks great. Try a suede strap maybe. B and R bands has some for cheap that I like

Great choice! On paper I wouldn't have liked that date treatment on the dial, but it really does look fantastic.

Beautiful timepiece, huge congratulations.

I think that the canvas strap really suits the watch, I've never been keen on some of the shiny leather straps Patek does, that strap makes it unique and cool in my opinion.

Then again what does a 52 year old know about being cool.

Congratulations.
