Travelling doesn’t just start at the airport. It begins with the anticipation, the planning and, for the very style-conscious, the choice of the right watch. The new Patek Philippe “Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 5524G-010” is ideal for this. Not only an incredibly functional companion for globetrotters, but also an expressive statement on the wrist.
With its striking design, inspired by historic pilot’s watches, the new version in white gold with an ivory-coloured lacquered dial combines tradition and modernity. The look can be described as sporty and confident with a touch of vintage flair. The large, blackened white gold numerals with luminescent coating, together with the high-contrast sword-shaped hands, ensure perfect legibility. We find it particularly ingenious that the skeletonised hand keeps track of the home time, while the filled-in hand shows the local time. Wearers can also check whether it is day or night in the respective time zones in two small windows.
At the heart of this watch is the automatic calibre 26-330 S C FUS, which has long impressed us with its technical sophistication. Anyone who frequently commutes between time zones will love the patented two-pusher system: A tap of the finger is all it takes to set the local time forwards or backwards by the hour, without compromising accuracy. The date, in turn, is automatically synchronised with the local time. Practical and well thought-out, just as you would expect from Patek Philippe.
Despite its presence, the 42 mm polished white gold case is pleasantly slim (it is only 10.78 mm high). The khaki green composite strap with textile structure pays homage to the straps of classic aviator watches: just as robust, yet stylish and surprisingly elegant. The white gold pin buckle with double bar rounds off the overall look with a high-quality finish.
With the new reference 5524G-010, Patek Philippe replaces the previous model with a blue dial (5524G-001) and brings a breath of fresh air to the Pilot collection. The new Pilot Travel Time is designed for all those who not only collect watches, but also want to live, travel and discover with them!
