Patek Philippe Globalized time
Among the many complications available in the Patek Philippe collections, the exclusive Travel Time dual time-zone function has proved a resounding success by virtue of its ease of use and perfect legibility. the Calatrava Affichage 24 Heures Travel Time (ref. 5224R-001) has two center hour hands, one of which can be adjusted backwards or forwards in one-hour steps. A winding crown mechanism makes it possible to indicate the local time over 12 hours and simultaneously the time at a place in the world corresponding to the time zones featured on a 24-hour dial, where both hour hands only make one full rotation each day to minimize day/night confusion. Beautifully understated, this 42mm rose gold timepiece bears the Patek Philippe hallmark and is powered by the self-winding micro-rotor caliber in platinum ref. 31-260 PS FUS 24H visible through the transparent caseback. To wear on a sober navy-blue calfskin strap that matches the dial.
