Patek Philippe Calatrava 24-Hour Travel Time 5224R

Patek Philippe, the renowned watch brand, recently concluded a successful season at Watches & Wonders, garnering attention not only from event attendees but also from audiences worldwide with the unveiling of numerous timepieces for the year. Among the latest additions making a strong impression at Watches & Wonders 2023 was the Calatrava 24-Hour Travel Time 5224R-001, boasting a highly useful and intelligent second-time zone function thanks to its intricate machinery. Present at DWatch Global is the artisanal version of this timepiece, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship of horological artisans.

As a complex timepiece, the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5224R Replica Watch features a characteristic rose gold-plated case from the Calatrava collection, boasting a round design accompanied by slightly curved lugs to snugly fit the wrist. In terms of case structure, the Patek Philippe 5224R exudes a traditional and elegant charm. However, in terms of the dial, the timepiece showcases a fresh variation when juxtaposed with other Travel Time watches from the brand.

In fact, the fresh layout of the Patek Philippe 5224R dial is not entirely new but rather inspired by the Patek Philippe Chronometero Gondolo (Ref. P-527) from 1905, featuring a special 24-hour dial produced for the Gondolo & Laboriau retailer in Brazil. In the latest design, the navy blue dial is adorned with two white railway tracks, sandwiching a 24-hour ring consisting of rose gold applied numerals with luminescent material added at the center. Interestingly, the numeral markers are positioned in reverse, with the 12-hour milestone moved to the top, clearly indicating midday, and its opposite, the 24-hour marker, situated at the bottom of the dial.

Surrounding these 24-hour markers are the classic-style trio of hands at the center. Here, the luminous filled hour and minute hands serve to indicate the main time, while the hollow gold hand points to the secondary time elsewhere. For user convenience, Patek Philippe employs a single crown for the hand adjustment.

Completing the duties of a mechanical watch like the Calatrava 24-Hour Travel Time 5224R-001 is the new caliber 31-260, replicated in a 1:1 standard. This movement is powered by a 24-karat gold rotor to maintain the slim profile of the Calatrava case (42mm in diameter, 9.85mm thick) despite the addition of the useful yet intricate Travel Time function. With an in-house Gyromax balance and Spiromax hairspring, the 31-260 PS FUAS 24H movement proudly boasts a 48-hour power reserve.

The Calatrava 24-Hour Display Time Reference 5224R Rep 11 at DWatch Global comes with a navy blue leather strap to complement the dial and a rose gold buckle.
