Catalogue Essay
The reference 5542G, Calatrava Pilot Travel Time, released at Basel in 2015 looks for inspiration from the past, but has a contemporary modern vibe. Reminiscent of 1930’s pilots’ watches, the blue dial features oversized numerals that are easily readable and light up with Superluminova in the dark. Similar to earlier references there is a Local and Home aperture with AM/PM indication and this reference also has a subsidiary date at the 6 o’clock. The 42 mm diameter case appears bigger with two oversized case correctors with the watch having a sporty wearable appeal. The adjustable GMT hand of the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time is the perfect tool for those on the go. Since the golden age of travel, Patek Philippe has demonstrated a keen awareness to design and technology and this reference is the 21st-century travel watch.
