In reply to Kunal Prakash Khemka. Thanks for your kind words Kunal. The 6119 definitely trumps the 5196 in my books, though the 5196 is slightly less expensive at SGD 32,500.

In reply to Brighty. Thanks Daryll...I would suggest you keep your Calatrava, and get this one as well. :-)

Thank you for the review, Peter.

I, too, love this watch, and I think Kunal’s right: I’ve not been enamoured with Patek’s releases over the past few years, but this year it’s all great.

I’m now wondering if I should sell my current Calatrava to get this one…

Peter, Thanks for this Superb Review. While I loved some of the Patek and VC Grand Complications launched at W&W 2021, this 6119 is my favourite watch of the show. This is the Patek I have been wanting to see from Patek all these years, and now – ‘Boom’ just like that, it seemed that Patek read my mind. This will be right at home with my VC Traditionnelle 82172 (mentioned above) and Lange 1 (second generation). I also believe this is just the first of new Calatravas. I am sure Patek will use this new movement for versions with an Enamel Dial; maybe with Roman Numerals (maybe without seconds subdial); and perhaps also use it towards a much needed 5196 replacement. Now I know for sure there is a Patek for me, hopefully soon enough.
