New Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time Ref. 5224R-001

New Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time Ref. 5224R-001 Air travel is back in vogue as countries look to shake off the pandemic for good. A growing number of countries are lifting border restrictions to boost tourism, with Japan and Taiwan being the most high-profile examples in recent months. For watchmakers, there's never been a better time to reintroduce travel time watches. Patek Philippe apparently got the memo early on and has released at least one every year for the past few years. In 2022, we welcome the rather left-wing annual calendar travel time reference watch. 5326G. This year, despite the launch of a new World Timer model, the brand has three novelty travel-related timepieces at Watches & Wonders. The first two were the Calatrava Pilot Traveling Chronographs with blue or green dials, the first time a chronograph complication was introduced in the Patek Philippe Pilot's Watch collection. The third watch, arguably the most original novelty released by the Swiss giant so far this year, is none other than the Calatrava 24-hour travel time watch. 5224R-001.
