Good evening everyone.

Two months have passed since the beginning of 2023, and the number of warm days is on the rise. I feel like the number of watches that were hidden under my jacket is gradually increasing. Due to my job, I have the habit of looking at people's wrists right away, so I'm excited to see what kind of watches I'll come across on the streets. (laughs)

Well, this time I would like to introduce the Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time , which I think would be wonderful to wear as a pair, whether it be a couple, a couple, a parent and child, or a couple of any age or gender. I hope you will enjoy this article to the end while imagining wearing it with your precious partner in the coming warm season when your wrists will be more exposed.

"Ref.5524R-001" and "Ref.7234R-001"
"Calatrava Pilot Travel Time" 18KRG

*Left: "Ref. 5524R-001" Right: "Ref. 7234R-001"

First, let's start with the "Ref. 5524R-001" (on the left in the image), which was released in 2018 and has a 42mm diameter, 18KRG (rose gold) case, and brown sunburst dial.

The glossy brown dial is housed in an 18KRG (rose gold) case of the same color, giving this watch a dressy and gorgeous impression. The elegant calfskin strap adds a unique touch, making it a watch that is truly worthy of Patek Philippe.

The condition is good, with some unnoticeable scuffs and small scratches, but the case and buckle are in good condition. The warranty is dated December 2019. The complete accessories are in good condition, and the calf strap shows no signs of use, making this a highly recommended watch .

The selling price is 5,555,000 yen (tax included)

As of March 6, 2023, the official domestic sales price is 7,711,000 yen (tax included), so even though it shows some signs of use, you will see that it represents a great bargain.

Next is the ladies' model "Ref. 7234R-001". In terms of the timeline, it was actually released in 2015, about three years earlier than the "Ref. 5524R-001". As many of you may know, references (model numbers) starting with the number "7" are ladies' models among Patek Philippe.

However, since the case size of this model is 37.5 mm, it can also be considered a unisex model, as it can be worn by men with slightly thinner wrists.

The warranty date is 2022. There are slight scratches due to storage (fine scratches that can be seen with a magnifying glass), but it is an unused item that has never been worn. Of course, all accessories are included and it is in very good condition.

The selling price is 4,895,000 yen (tax included)

Those looking for Patek Philippe watches on the secondary market tend to be looking for older models in good condition, so this older model, unused, is a particularly recommended item. As of March 6, 2023, the official domestic retail price is 6,919,000 yen (tax included). You can see at a glance that this is also a great deal.

...But I won't stop here. There are other rare models in the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time series that I really want to introduce, so I'll take the liberty of introducing them as well. (laughs)

"Ref.7234A-001"
"Calatrava Pilot Travel Time" Singapore 2019 SS

What do you think? Before I go into any explanation, I think I'm the only one who simply thought, "That's cool!!"

This is a special edition model limited to 400 pieces, announced at Patek Philippe's "Watch Art Grand Exhibition 2019" held in Singapore in 2019. Some of you may have already noticed by looking at the model number, "Ref. 7234 "A"-001", which has an "A" attached to it.

That's right! The Calatrava Pilot Travel Time, which was made almost entirely of solid gold, is now made of stainless steel. It's so cool that they've put such a playful touch on a limited edition model. (laughs)

The refreshing blue dial is a truly beautiful color when you see it in person. The calf strap, which is the same color as the dial, has white stitching in the same color as the hands and indexes, creating a refreshing finish.

The "Cal.324 SC FUS" that can be seen through the sapphire crystal back is simply beautiful. Also, if you look closely at the sapphire crystal glass, you can see the words "PATEK PHILIPPE SINGAPORE 2019". This also shows that this is a model that is a little different from previous models and is full of special feeling.

Although there are some scratches and scuffs due to use, both the case and buckle are in excellent condition and non-polished. Comes with warranty, booklets, pass case, box, and adjustment pin.

The selling price you are interested in is 6,578,000 yen (tax included)

This model is very rare and is suitable as a collection piece, so if you are looking for it, please come to our store and see it for yourself. The beauty and cuteness of this refreshing blue dial is irresistible. (lol)

Speaking of models that can be worn together, there are many more, such as the Nautilus and Aquanaut. If this article is well received, we hope to introduce more in the next issue!
