Patek Philippe Complications Ref. 5524R-001 – 42mm Rose Gold with Brown Sunburst Dial on Vintage Brown Calfskin Strap

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Ref. 5524R-001 merges aviation heritage with the elegance of fine watchmaking, presenting a striking reinterpretation of the classic pilot’s watch. Crafted in 18k rose gold, the 42mm case exudes a commanding presence, softened by its warm tone and satin-brushed finish.

The brown sunburst dial, subtly graded to black at the edges, radiates a sense of depth and sophistication. Bold luminescent Arabic numerals and broad rose-gold cathedral hands ensure perfect legibility, while the dual time zone display—showing local and home time via skeletonized and solid hands—offers exceptional practicality for modern travelers. The day/night apertures and local-date subdial integrate seamlessly into the balanced layout.

At its core lies the Caliber 324 S C FUS, a self-winding movement with dual time functionality, visible through the sapphire caseback. Its intricate finishing—Geneva stripes, chamfered edges, and the Patek Philippe Seal—reflects the maison’s dedication to precision and artistry.

The vintage brown calfskin strap, inspired by classic pilot gear, adds a nostalgic charm that complements the rose gold case perfectly. A refined companion for global journeys, the 5524R-001 stands as both an instrument of time and an icon of adventure.
