Patek Philippe Calatrava Reference 6119R
The Case & Bezel
The Calatrava Reference 6119R features a much-rounded case with sloping lugs, the signature "Clous de Paris" bezel inspired by the Reference 3919. Patek Philippe introduced the Reference 3919 in 1985, and this watch remained an entry-level luxury dress watch for a long time.
- However, Reference 6119 now sports 39mm in diameter.
- The watchmaker retained the iconic Calatrava "Clous de Paris" bezel. It shows small pyramid knobs and a square base.
- Interestingly, this bezel style is also referred to as hobnail or Paris hobnail.
- The brand delineated this style as a "guilloched hobnail" pattern, and it is crafted of rose gold.
Moreover, the small pyramids now come with a larger base than the watch's earlier siblings. And the profile is much precise and crisp.

The Dial
The Patek Philippe Calatrava Reference 6119R flaunts a simple yet elegant dial. It shows a cream, eggshell tone and a silver grained surface that makes the dial looks more appealing. While the graining surface captures light on some angles, it shines against the matte background.
- Moreover, the dial features rose gold applique hour markers with arrowhead facet.
- The applique markers and Dauphine-styled hands show a high polished rose gold finish.
Furthermore, you can see a seconds sub-dial at the 6 o'clock side and a railway track surrounding the dial's periphery.
The New Movement
The all-new Calibre 30-255PS movement powers the Calatrava 6119R. It has a diameter of 30.4mm and only 2.5mm in height. Thanks to the movement's large diameter, the watchmaker offered a double-barrel design, and it provides 65 hours of power reserve.
However, this new movement comes with a stop-seconds hacking mechanism. As expected, the Calibre 30-255PS shows excellent finishing. The peaks of Cotes de Geneve are sharp, well-defined and have clean lines.
Overall, the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 6119R is exceptionally striking, featuring a larger 39mm diameter, thin case, hobnail bezel and a classical dial layout.
