Patek Philippe 5524R-001 Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 18K Rose Gold Brown Dial

The Patek Philippe 5524R-001 Calatrava Pilot Travel Time in 18K rose gold is a distinctive addition to the esteemed Calatrava collection, drawing inspiration from the brand’s vintage aviation timepieces. Unveiled in the mid-2010s, it features a rich sunburst brown dial with gold applied numerals and luminous coating, which pairs elegantly with its rose gold case. The model is powered by the caliber 324 S C FUS, a self-winding movement renowned for its dual time zone capability—the locally adjustable hour hand can be set independently in one-hour increments without interrupting timekeeping, a nod to the practical needs of modern travelers. The brown grained calfskin strap complements the overall pilot aesthetic while maintaining Patek Philippe’s signature refinement. Collectors value this reference not only for its unique aesthetic departure from classical Calatrava designs but also for its mechanical innovation and user-friendly complication. The integration of day/night indicators and date subdial further enhances its utility. As one of Patek Philippe’s boldest contemporary releases, the 5524R-001 is sought after for its distinctive look, exceptional movement finishing, and rarity on the pre-owned market. It embodies a rare combination of horological heritage and modern functionality designed for the sophisticated collector. Like New with Patek Philippe box and papers dated 2021.
