Remake Patek Philippe PP Calatrava 6119G-001: Get the Classic Look for Less!

Alright, so, I got this idea in my head to try and remake a Patek Philippe watch. Yeah, one of those super fancy ones, the Calatrava 6119G-001. I saw it once in a picture, and man, it looked sharp. This thing’s got some history, you know? It’s like a new take on an old classic.

First off, I started digging around for info on this watch. Found out it’s a 39mm, white gold, pretty slick. They say it’s a classic style. Not something you see every day. And the price? Let’s just say it’s not cheap.

So, I got to work. I figured, why not try to remake this beauty? Started with gathering all the parts that look like the ones on the original. It wasn’t easy, I’ll tell you that. Had to hunt around, find bits and pieces that matched up.

Main Body

Then came the tricky part – putting it all together. I’m no expert, but I gave it my best shot. Tried to follow the design of the 6119G-001, piece by piece. It was like a puzzle, a really complicated one. Some parts, I had to try a few times to get them right.

• First Step: Started with the watch face. This was tough. Getting that clean, classic look wasn’t as simple as it seems.
• Next Up: The hands of the watch. Man, those are tiny! Took me a while to get them to look just right.
• Then: Worked on the body, the white gold part. Tricky, but I managed to find something similar.
• And Finally: Putting it all together. This was the moment of truth.

Almost there

After a lot of tinkering, I finally had something that looked like the Calatrava 6119G-001. It wasn’t perfect, mind you. But it was close. I even managed to get it ticking, which was a big win for me.

In the end, I was pretty proud of what I’d done. It wasn’t the real deal, but it was my version of it. And honestly, it looked pretty darn good. Learned a lot from this little project. It’s not just about having a fancy watch, it’s about the work you put into it.

So, there you have it. My adventure in trying to remake a Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001. It was a fun ride, and who knows, maybe I’ll try another one someday.
