Patek Philippe Calatrava 'Pilot' Travel Time

Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time – Aviation Heritage with Haute Horology Precision

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time blends vintage aviation style with modern dual-time functionality, making it one of the brand’s most distinctive and purpose-driven creations. First introduced in 2015, this collection draws on early 20th-century pilot watches while incorporating Patek’s signature finishing, in-house movement, and practical travel complications.

Available in rose gold (Ref. 5524R), white gold (Ref. 5524G), and the smaller 37.5mm Ref. 7234R/G models, the watch features local and home time hands, along with day/night indicators and a local date subdial. Its large, luminous Arabic numerals, broad cathedral hands, and pushers on the left side of the case nod to classic aviator design, while its mechanics remain thoroughly modern.
