First released in 1997, the Patek Philippe Travel Time ref. 4864 was the very first complicated lady’s wristwatch manufactured by the firm. Featuring a Calatrava style case made by Favre & Perret SA, it features an elegantly crafted coin-edged bezel that was quite unusual at the time. Measuring 29mm diameter, the case is further adorned by two pushers to the left side of the caseband tipped with cabochon gems to adjust the hour hand of the additional time zone. Powered by the cal. 215 PS FUS, it is essentially the same caliber as the ref. 5034, the men’s edition of the complication at the time. The reference was made in yellow gold, pink gold and white gold with matching Breguet numerals with some gem-set examples. The production of the reference was seized in 2005.
The present example Patek Philippe ref. 4864 in yellow gold from circa 1998 is preserved in excellent overall condition and was probably worn no more than a handful of times throughout all these years. Complete with its Original Certificate of Origin, this chic and elegant Travel Time by Patek Philippe is the quintessential timepiece for lady jetsetters seeking for a classic and quality travel companion.
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. 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.
