Patek PhilippeThis Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time, reference 5524G-001, is a 42mm wristwatch featuring an 18K white-gold case. Introduced in 2015, the model incorporates a Travel Time complication that uses two central hour hands to distinguish between local and home time, with a skeletonized hand indicating the home hour.
Knurled pushers positioned at the 8 and 10 o'clock positions allow for the adjustment of the local hour in one-hour increments. The watch includes day/night indicators for both local and home time, as well as a pointer-date sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position. The dial is finished in a white/ivory color with luminous, oversized applied white-gold Arabic numerals. Power is provided by the self-winding Calibre 324 S C FUS movement, visible through a sapphire caseback.
The watch is presented on a khaki-colored composite strap secured with an 18K white-gold pin buckle.

- Case and Dial Design
- The Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time reference 5524G-001 is housed in a 42mm case constructed from 18K white gold. Legibility is achieved through broad, luminous hands against the light-toned background. The case features two prominent, knurled pushers on the left flank at the 8 and 10 o'clock positions, designed to advance or retreat the local hour hand in one-hour increments without disrupting the timekeeping mechanism.
- Movement and Complication
- The watch is powered by the self-winding Calibre 324 S C FUS. This movement supports a dual-time function, utilizing two central hour hands to display home and local time simultaneously, with the home time designated by a skeletonized hand. Day and night indicators are provided for both local and home settings, and a date sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position is synchronized to the local time. The movement is viewable via a sapphire caseback.
- Configuration and Accessories
- The watch is paired with a khaki-colored composite strap featuring a textured, fabric-like finish and is fastened with a signed 18K white-gold pin buckle. Accompanying materials include the official Certificate of Origin, accompanying papers and pamphlets, hang tags, and a setting tool used to manipulate the watch settings.
