Alright, folks, gather ’round. I’ve got a story for ya, and it’s about watches. Now, I’m not a watch guy, per se, but when I saw this one, I knew I had to have it. This is about the Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119R-001. Yeah, it’s a mouthful, but trust me, it’s worth it.

So, first things first, I started digging around. Where do I find one of these beauties? I hit up the usual spots, you know, the forums, the online marketplaces. But I wanted a fresh one, a “remake”, straight from the source. They say it is an “original order” too, so I think it might worth it. I looked around and found this is a big one, not small at all. I looked around and started to contact some shops, and found out there’s an authorized retailer in Sydney. That’s far from where I live. Anyway, I think that’s a sign.

Next, I needed to get down to the nitty-gritty. What’s this watch all about? Turns out, it’s got a silvery-grained dial with gold-applied hour markers. Sounds fancy, right? It’s got a mechanical, manually wound movement, which is pretty cool. And the caliber? 30-255 PS. Whatever that means. It’s also got an alligator leather strap with square scales. That’s the kind of detail I appreciate. Then I kept contacting some shops locally and also those online shops. I found that a local shop had one, but it’s not a new one, and that’s not what I wanted. There are some online shops having this one, but I don’t trust them, how could they have one while the official retailers don’t have one.

  • Silvery grained dial.
  • Gold applied hour markers.
  • Mechanical, manually wound movement.
  • Caliber 30-255 PS.
  • Alligator leather strap with square scales.

Now, the hard part – actually getting my hands on one. I contacted a few places in Sydney. I mean, they’re the official dealers, right? I emailed, I called, I did all that jazz. Most of them just put me on a waiting list, I was like, waiting list? For a watch? Come on. Anyway, there was one, just one shop, and they got back to me saying they could get one for me. Hallelujah. I made sure everything was legit, you know? Gotta be careful with these things. They told me the price, 4️⃣2️⃣9️⃣9️⃣0️⃣, including tax. That’s a lot, but hey, it’s a Patek. After ensuring everything, I wired the money to them, and crossed my fingers. A few weeks later, I got the email I’d been waiting for – it was ready. I took the next flight to Sydney and picked it up myself. I tell you, when I opened the box and put it on my wrist, it felt like a dream. I couldn’t believe it, and I kept checking the watch from time to time to make sure it’s not a dream.

So, there you have it. My journey to getting the Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119R-001. Was it easy? Nope. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I wear it all the time, and it still gives me a thrill. And I won’t sell it, not for a long time, that’s for sure.
