Complications Calatrava Pilot Travel Time White Gold – Ref. 5524G-010

Product Introduction

The Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Ref. 5524G-010 represents one of Patek Philippe’s boldest reinterpretations of its heritage. Originally launched in 2015, the Pilot line broke away from the maison’s traditional dress-watch identity with a design inspired by early 20th-century aviation instruments.

The 2025 refreshed version introduces a vintage ivory lacquered dial paired with a khaki green composite strap, giving the watch a rugged yet refined aeronautical presence. Featuring the patented Travel Time dual-time mechanism and a linked local-date display, this model blends haute horlogerie craftsmanship with practical travel functionality.

Story Behind the Watch

The Pilot Travel Time line marked a new era for Patek Philippe when it debuted in 2015, drawing direct inspiration from early aviation timepieces. With oversized numerals, luminous hands, and purposeful functionality, the collection captured both the romance and utility of vintage pilot instruments.

The 5524G-010 refresh pays tribute to that spirit with a warm ivory dial reminiscent of aged cockpit gauges and a bold khaki strap evoking military aviation gear. The patented dual-time Travel Time system ensures ease of use for modern travelers, while the local-date display remains tied to the home-away timekeeping functionality—a signature complication celebrated across haute horlogerie.

Style

A distinctly vintage aviation aesthetic—rugged, purposeful, and steeped in historical charm. Ideal for those who appreciate a blend of pilot-watch character and refined travel functionality, with a touch of modern sophistication.
