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

The Patek Philippe 5524R-001 Calatrava Pilot Travel Time brings the maison’s revered craftsmanship to aviation-inspired design, offering a modern reinterpretation of historic pilot’s watches. Released as a compelling evolution of the original white gold 5524G, the 5524R-001 is crafted in warm rose gold and matched with a captivating sunburst brown dial, complemented by a black-gradient rim and applied luminescent numerals for legibility and depth. At its core is the Patek Philippe caliber 26-330 S C FUS, a technically sophisticated automatic movement featuring dual time zones with independent local and home day/night indications in clearly marked apertures, alongside a local date displayed by hand. The pushers at 8 and 10 o’clock—evoking vintage chronographs—allow for intuitive adjustment of the local hour hand when traveling. A sapphire case back reveals meticulous finishing, characteristic of Geneva’s most storied watchmaker. The sturdy yet elegant 42 mm rose gold case, water-resistant to 30 meters, pairs with a supple calfskin vintage brown strap, underscoring its pilot aesthetic. Esteemed for its technical ingenuity, distinctive presence, and role in redefining Patek Philippe’s contemporary sport watch offering, the 5524R-001 is a sought-after reference among collectors valuing both heritage and innovation.
