Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing the Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119R-001 for a while now. It’s just so classic, you know? I finally decided, “Screw it, let’s try to make one.” I mean, how hard could it be, right?

First things first, I needed to figure out what makes this watch tick, literally. Turns out, it’s got this Patek Philippe calibre 30-255 PS hand-wind movement. Sounds fancy. And it’s got like a 65-hour power reserve, which is pretty sweet. I started digging around for info on this movement. Found some diagrams, watched a bunch of videos of people taking watches apart. It was like learning a new language, a tiny, intricate language made of gears and springs.

  • Getting the Movement Right: This was the biggest hurdle. I messed up a lot. A LOT. Tiny screws went flying, springs sprung into oblivion, and I’m pretty sure I invented some new cuss words. But, after a ton of trial and error, I started to get the hang of it. I practiced on some cheaper movements first, just to get a feel for how everything fits together.
  • Case Work: The Calatrava 6119R-001 has this round case, 39mm in size. I found some similar cases online and started playing around with them. I needed it to look right, feel right. Not gonna lie, it’s not as easy as it seems in those fancy watch ads, but i get a good result finally.
  • Crystal Clear: This watch has a sapphire crystal. Scratch-resistant, they say. I learned that there are different grades of sapphire crystal. Had to make sure I got one that was the right size and shape for my case, and super clear.
  • Putting It All Together: Once I felt like I could at least build a movement that didn’t immediately fall apart, it was time to assemble everything. This was like the final boss battle. I was sweating bullets, holding my breath with every tiny screw I turned.

And then, it was done. Did it look exactly like a real Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119R-001? Ha, nope! But it looked like a watch, and it actually told the time. For a first attempt, I was pretty darn proud of myself. It was more than just a watch, it was a testament to my stubbornness and my newfound respect for watchmakers. And the secondary market dealer’s price is 8% higher than the pre-owned market. I also learned that the average waitlist for the real Calatrava is a brutal 9 months to a year. I guess my waitlist was just a few weeks of frustration and a bunch of mangled watch parts. Although this model has consistently retained its value over time. Maybe next time I can get it close to perfect. Maybe.

It was a wild ride, and honestly, I learned a ton. Would I do it again? Maybe. But next time, I’m definitely investing in a better magnifying glass, and maybe a helmet for those flying screws.

I also found some local businesses that sell the similar model and their Email address. I may contact them to learn more experience from them.
