Catalogue Essay
Patek Philippe has wonderfully married the classic design of the Calatrava with innovative mechanisms offering a remarkable collection of contemporary watches perfectly suited for today’s travelers. Today categorized as “Travel Time” models, these timepieces include the annual calendar ref. 5326G, Calatrava Pilot ref. 5524R, flyback chronograph ref. 5924G, and the present ref. 5224R with 24-hour dial.
Released in 2023, the reference 5224R is a dual-time wristwatch with an unusual and historic 24-hour dial. Patek Philippe first used a 24-hour dial on their famed Chronomètre Gondolo pocket watches from the early 20th century. The new, bold design of the reference 5224 is both a vintage and modern reinvention of the “Travel Time” display. The watch is offered in a 42mm diameter case with stunning blue dial, and unlike earlier models with “night” and “day” indications, this dial is uncluttered and easy to read. The caliber 31-260 PS FUS 24H allows for the “Travel Time” function to be operated through the crown, giving the case a sleek clean look.
The present model is fresh-to-the-market, consigned by its original owner, and offered in excellent condition with its suite of accessories.
