Since its beginnings, Patek Philippe has combined elegance, technical innovation and functionality, with pilot’s watches forming an essential part of this heritage. The new Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 5524G-010
presents a refined reinterpretation of this legacy, adapted to the needs of the contemporary traveller.
This new reference is crafted in white gold and stands out for its vintage-inspired ivory lacquered dial, which brings warmth and character while achieving a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. It is paired with a khaki
green composite strap with a textile pattern, reinforcing its aeronautical spirit and its urban, informal character.
A Travel Watch with a Distinctive Personality
The Calatrava Pilot Travel Time features a second time zone and a date indication linked to local time, offering clear and intuitive readability in all circumstances. The 42 mm case ensures a strong presence on the wrist,
while legibility is enhanced by blackened white gold applied Arabic numerals, white luminescent coating and sword-shaped hands, visible even in low-light conditions.
The result is a perfectly balanced, functional dial that remains faithful to the spirit of the Manufacture’s historic pilot’s watches.
Calibre 26-330 S C FUS: Precision at the Service of the Traveller
At its heart beats the self-winding calibre 26-330 S C FUS, equipped with the Travel Time system, one of Patek Philippe’s most emblematic complications. Two pushers located on the left side of the case—protected by
a patented safety system—allow the local hour hand to be adjusted forwards or backwards in one-hour increments, without affecting the movement’s precision.
The skeletonised hand continues to display home time, while both time zones feature day/night indicators. The date, indicated by a hand at 6 o’clock, automatically adjusts to
local time, even when travelling backwards, enhancing ease of use during international journeys.
Details That Reinforce Its Aeronautical Identity
The khaki green strap is fitted with a double prong white gold buckle, inspired by the straps once used by pilots to secure their emergency kits. A functional and aesthetic detail that completes a coherent, authentic ensemble
with a strong personality.
A New Expression of the Calatrava Pilot
The Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 5524G-010 stands as one of Patek Philippe’s most distinctive travel watches: elegant without being formal, technical without ostentation, and deeply connected to the brand’s history.
A timepiece designed for those who value high-end watchmaking, purposeful design and genuine everyday functionality.
