Launched in 1932, the iconic design of the Calatrava reflects the minimalist Bauhaus principle (function determines the form of an object). Since then, it has been repeatedly reinterpreted in numerous versions, including the legendary Ref. 3919, which was produced for more than 20 years.

The new Ref. 6119 (the number pays tribute to the Ref. 3919 from 1985 and its successor, the Ref. 5119 from 2006) distinguishes itself mainly with a slightly larger diameter, reworked strap lugs and a dial with applied hour markers inspired from the first Calatrava (Ref. 96) from 1932.

Exceptionally robust and powerful, the new Caliber 30-255 PS delivers a power reserve of 65 hours. A special feature of the movement is its two mainspring barrels in a parallel arrangement. They relax together and engage with the central pinion, increasing the torque of the movement and allowing the deployment of a balance with twice the moment of inertia of 10 mg/cm2 (the highest of all Patek Philippe 4-Hz movements).
A stop seconds feature that blocks the balance when the crown is pulled makes it possible to set the time with one-second accuracy. When the crown is pushed home, the mechanism kick-starts the balance to set it in motion again.
