Luxury With Utility: 4 Patek Philippe Watches with “Everyday” Complications
Patek Philippe is not all about high-end chronographs, perpetual calendars, and repeaters; the brand also offers many complicated timepieces that have plenty of everyday utility. We present a few of them here, in this feature from the WatchTime archives.
SECOND TIME ZONE: CALATRAVA PILOT TRAVEL TIME REFERENCE 5524G
Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Ref. 5524G
Whether for a winter vacation in Canada or a business trip to Japan, a well-thought-out time-zone function is very useful in our mobile era, when people cross time zones almost as often as their grandparents crossed the street. The time-zone indicator is even more useful when it?s complemented by additional displays, such as a day-night indicator or a date display. This is offered by the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time, which debuted in 2015. From a functional point of view, this watch adds another practical feature: not only is there an alternately blue and white day-night indicator for home time, there?s also an identical day-night display for local time, i.e., wherever in the world the wearer happens to be at the moment. The date is shown by a hand on a large subdial, which gives the face an attractive, symmetrical look. Finely decorated self-winding manufacture Caliber 324 S C FUS and a handsome 42-mm gold case lend a luxurious aura to this sportily designed pilots? watch. ($47,630)
