CALATRAVA pilot travel time reference 7234G-001
With the new CALATRAVA pilot travel time reference 7234G-001, Patek Philippe has completed the design of its pilot series of watches inspired by the pilot’s time constraints created by the manufacturer in the 1930s. Recognizability has been established as a contemporary classic. Pilot styles are now available in the following four Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Dual Time Zone Travel Watches (grey or rose gold and two sizes), and have a 24-hour alarm function during large travel times-multiple limited editions are not included series.
In 2015, Patek Philippe launched a watch with an atypical style. Whether it is a round case or a dark dial with large white numbers and a luminous dial, it is surprising. Whether it is the name or the functional design, this timepiece is reminiscent of the first pilot’s watch. Patek Philippe was indeed inspired by two watches produced by the manufacturer in 1936. The watch is kept in the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva. A very special model with a side-viewer (hour angle) allows the pilot to determine in a simple and precise way. Its location. So quickly, the Calatrava pilot travel time reference number 5524G pays tribute to the pioneers of aviation and the heyday of conquering the sky. This is an epic that Geneva manufacturers also contributed to.
Pursuing the modern traveler
However, Patek Philippe replica is not satisfied with the simple reissue, but hopes to reinterpret its heritage in a contemporary spirit as usual. The usual black dial on pilot watches has been replaced by the original and elegant blue, with excellent contrast in terms of readability. The barometer-style display became obsolete with the advent of navigation tools. It has been replaced by a very useful feature of modern travelers: the use of a proprietary travel time mechanism to display a second time zone. This very easy-to-use system was patented by Patek Philippe in 1959 and 1996. Its two central hour hands and two buttons enable the position of the local hour hand to be adjusted in one step. Time, date index is local time.

This also marked the birth of a new series of timepieces combined with an instantly recognizable style. In 2018, Patek Philippe reinterpreted the original Calatrava Pilot Travel Time with a rose gold version and a brown dial.
In the same year, the best fake watch factory launched a medium-sized (37.5 mm) rose gold watch for women and men, who prefer watches with classic proportions.
