  • Catalogue Essay

    - In 2012, Patek Philippe initiated an exceptional global tour exhibition, showcasing some of their finest timepieces. Commencing in Dubai with the inaugural "Watch Art Grand Exhibition", the grand tour culminated in 2017 at "The Art of Watches Grand Exhibition" held in New York City. These exhibitions garnered immense success, providing a marvelous opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts worldwide to witness some of the most extraordinary and captivating horological masterpieces ever crafted by Patek Philippe.

    - In commemoration of the New York exhibition, Patek Philippe crafted nine limited edition timepieces exclusively available in the US. This range included a superb minute-repeating world-time wristwatch and the highly appealing, time-only stainless steel reference 5522A, produced in a limited run of just 600 examples.

    - Drawing inspiration from their historical archives, the Calatrava Pilot earns its name from its 1930s ambiance and vintage aviator-style dial aesthetic. Boasting applied 18-karat white gold Arabic numerals and blued steel, luminous hands the time piece features a sporty 42mm case.

    - Turning the watch, the wearer can notice a sapphire crystal caseback engraved with "Patek Philippe New York 2017," revealing the automatic caliber 324 SC. Its timeless and masculine appeal positions it as an ideal everyday timepiece.

    - The present stainless steel Patek Philippe reference 5522 is preserved in excellent overall condition and is further accompanied by its set of accessories.

Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
