The 5224R was Patek's 2023 attempt to fit a second time zone into a Calatrava without the usual pusher-flanked case. It does so by putting local and home time on one 24-hour scale read by two centre hands, which removes the need for a day and night aperture.

This Patek Philippe Calatrava 24-Hour Display Travel Time wears a 42mm 18k rose gold case with a navy blue dial over a circular striated centre. Calibre 31-260 PS FUS inside, on a navy calfskin strap.

Fun fact: it is the first Patek Philippe wristwatch to show the time only on a 24-hour scale. There are no pushers and no case-band correctors at all: the second zone is set from the crown in one-hour steps.

The collection

Calatrava

Patek's round dress watch, launched in 1932 with the reference 96

The Calatrava opened in 1932 with the reference 96, a plain round watch that Patek describes as drawn on the Bauhaus principle that function determines the form of an object, and the house dates the line from it. The name comes from the Calatrava cross, the emblem registered as the company trademark in 1887. The look is deliberately quiet: a round case with a slim bezel, applied markers or Breguet numerals, and nothing on the dial competing for attention. The reference 6119 carries the hobnail Clous de Paris pattern guilloched on its bezel, and the reference 5227 hides its sapphire back under a dust cover on an invisible hinge.

Who it suits

For the buyer who wants a formal watch with nothing to explain, and is content for it to go unnoticed across a table.
