$33,110 Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119r unboxing and review - my new grail watch

[@alexp3752]

55 year watch enthusiast... Wonderful! I am so happy for you! Congratulations! A respectful suggestion: Whenever you go out with your grail watch, put a small storage case in your briefcase or car. You never know when you may have to take the watch off to protect it from any potential damage. Seriously, I work with my hands all the time (pardon the pun) and it is a great stress reliever having that portable case at hand. You worked very hard to achieve this milestone in life, so why not give it the protection it deserves. All the best! Enjoy!

@@alexp3752 great idea! I will steal freely😂

[@alexp3752]

@@abhaig Wise guy... The point I was attempting to make is always make provisions to protect what is valuable to you when you are performing tasks, or going to areas, that may pose a significant risk to the watch or your person. If you damage the watch while doing work you ordinarily would not do, you will have plenty of stress and grief. I keep one of my watches with me always in a small case in my bag or briefcase. I always know where it is and if I need to take it off, I have a place to store it safely.

[@dielalex89]

@@alexp3752 I think he meant he is stealing your idea - which, I will be doing the same - super SUPER good idea !!!

[@abhaig]

@@alexp3752 agree completely- I have already damaged a couple and found your advice useful

[@NaVirazhah]

Congrats! About two months ago I picked up mine first Patek 6119g. I immediately ordered a blue alligator strap which appeared to be a present. Travel pouch was also gifted. I’m still wearing the watch as my number one despite having other options. Patek, for sure, gives special feeling.

Nice personal exposition in the beginning to give your viewers some perspective of where youre coming from. Shows you actually worked for your achievements and appreciate it all.

[@dannyg6592]

Congratulations on your beautiful new Calatrava. I tried on a 6119G at a Patek AD last week and I agree 100% with your review. An elegant, classic, iconic and stunning timepiece. If I were to buy a new Patek, I would get a 6119R. My only criticism of the watch (besides the price) is I would prefer its case diameter to be smaller. I thought it wore a bit too large on my 6.75" wrist for a dress watch. Enjoy your Patek in good health :)

[@comeonman7423]

I’ve never been a fan of patek philippe until I saw the the Calatrava. What an absolute stunner 💗💗💗 congratulations and thank you for sharing 🫡

[@whatalovelyusername]

It’s a beautiful dress watch. 10/10 to me. Simple yet not boring dial, beautiful movement visible through the glass. Very elegant, yet very quiet. If I had that amount of spare money and already owned a reverso, I’d love to get one and probably wear it everyday :)

[@alexp3752]

Forget the so-called "Holy Trinity". JLC is reknown for being "The Watchmaker's Watchmaker". In other words, their movements and overall quality are outstanding! Wise choice.

[@simonassouline1230]

Niko, exuberant! Your collection, only enhances your true nature of exquisite enthusiasm in horology! Fantastic presentation and exhibition!

I'm 52 year watch enthusiast, I dont own anything this fancy but Im still working ton get there... most likely never. I like the black dial more than this but you do what you like. My grail one is 6007G

[@slawomirbielak7557]

What a beautiful watch. Congratulations!

[@Talon173]

Beautiful, and love that the straps turns a dress watch into something more casual. Jlc do the same with their canvas straps

[@tudorgoina9997]

So Incredibly happy for you!

[@Dazulolwarrior]

I like that calatrava, but ultimately I went with the VC Traditionelle as the design resonates with me the most. Also a very lovely story you mentioned, I hope prosperity keeps staying with you.

[@lefataliste]

Great watch and great video: I couldn’t be more happy for you. A very nice purchase and timeless timepiece. Congratulations. Wear it in the best of health.

[@CaptainCreampie69]

Nice watch. I’m looking for a dress watch and am looking at PP and VC right now.

[@charlestillery6327]

I love the PP, my BGFF gifted me a 56,mm pocket watch a 47792& a 6104G blue dial 750,44mm, for my birthday and Christmas 4:37

Such a pleasure to watch beautifully executed unboxing of an amazing timepiece!! Congratulations again !!

[@jjdente7666]

great video. I was not looking at this model but may try it out on my next AD visit. That green strap makes it go from dress only to a casual daily.

[@KeepingWatchUK]

Lovely watch. Class design. A little old fashioned for my tastes atm… might be tempted when I’ve retired in ~20 yrs. Or likely a 1908 when Rolex add a moonphase.

CONGRATS ON THE PURCHASE! very beautiful watch!

[@zdnice]

Congratulations on a fantastic watch and a great personal achievement to be able to have such a great piece. I absolutely love your choice of the 6119 in the yellow gold. Truly a special watch. I’m wondering when you put in “an order” as you say at the top of the video is that just you putting your name on their version of a list. Or are you actually ordering it and know the allocation is definitively coming?

[@TheDubaiExpat]

They didn’t 100% confirm me, but told me it shouldn’t be too difficult to get it.

[@robynsjp]

With an extensive collection, a "simple" Calatrava remains a soft, quiet aspiration, one knotch up from my 2 hand Reverso. Maybe one day.

[@tanjanina6478]

your reverso is a grail itself.

[@robynsjp]

@tanjanina6478 it's the one I wear for Christmas

[@robertbelliottjr5773]

Absolutely stunning watch. Congratulations!

[@thephotochad]

Gorgeous! Well done, Brother!

[@DragonyCat]

14:08 is it fair to give it a 3/10 for sportive usage when the watch just is not made for that? And why a 3 instead of a 1 or something else? Just curious.

[@TheDubaiExpat]

3 because it is slim, light and still 30m wr

Seiko stole the design, not the other way around lol

@@Dazulolwarrior That may be the case. That actually makes it worse considering seiko is now known for this design and not Patek. LoL why spend so much on an unknown design more so on a watch that has a pretty shitty movement.

You wasted your money and it is shocking that someone with that money would spend it so unintelligently. It is one of the most worthless Calatrava models and if you love it, you also possess no taste in timepieces. You may not like this comment, but in the future, you sill come to realise the truth of it.

It's junk..... $36k junk TO ME. Glad you truly enjoy it and happy with it. But if you bought it because they force you to buy it before you can get anything else, then I don't have respect for you.

[@Yaketyyak21]

Nasty prick.

[@abhaig]

What’s with the negativity? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, one man’s treasure may be another man’s junk. Calatrava is a classic Patek watch and is far more affordable than their other stuff

[@salemdxb]

Clearly you cant afford it
