  • Catalogue Essay

    Released in 2015, the Patek Philippe’s Calatrava Pilot Travel Time took its inspiration from the early 20th century when global travel was emerging and pilots used oversized tool watches to assist in navigation. The functionality of the watch was thoroughly modern and the perfect companion piece for travellers on the go. The 42mm diameter case was dominated by two large time correctors found at the 8 and 10 o’clock positions. Designed with optimal practicality in mind, these enabled for easy time changing capability and featured patent-pending safety locks to insure the time was not accidentally changed. The white gold indices were Superluminova filled, with a skeleton hand to indicate home time, and a sword hand for the local time. Since its launch, the reference garnered more acceptability and in 2018 Patek Philippe issued a new model in rose gold, and a lady’s version, reference 7234R.

    Effortlessly resonates with modern taste, the present watch is fresh-to-the-market from the original owner and is in attractive condition. The watch has a sporty masculine appeal and in time may become an icon of horology.
