Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time replica

So, this is an unexpected turn of events for Swiss horology legend Patek Philippe replica watch. I really wasn’t expecting them to make a slightly more functional watch for their Calatrava range. I say slightly because the Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time replica watch is still made of white gold and is a Patek so it’ll be very fragile. The fact remains however that it’s simply jaw droppingly beautiful.

Now, having said that it’s an unexpected turn of events, I must mention that Patek Philippe did in fact make a Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time replica watch beforehand. Back in the 1930s they were made to be very accurate and be used with a sextant for fast, precise navigation.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that this Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time replica watch is in fact a tribute to one of those watches. It’s not. I wouldn’t bother trying to use a sextant with this piece, as it’s not designed for that purpose. It does however have a GMT hand which takes the form of a white coated skeletonised hand stemming from the centre of the dial.

As the name suggests this Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time replica watch has the same set-up as the Nautilus travel time, where there are two small ‘Home’ and ‘Local’ indicators on the dial, allowing you to check the time in two different places. This Patek Philippe replica watch joins the Nautilus as being a watch designed for the modern travelling man who visits many places on his travels around the globe.

The dial of this Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time replica watch is a deep and rich blue, covered with Superluminova applied arabic numerals, the date indicator on this piece is a rotary type with the intervals at 3 days. In case you were wondering, the pushers on the side lock down so that you can’t accidentally adjust the time. Speaking of the case, it’s 42mm in diameter and 11 thick. It comes with a contrast stitched brown leather strap that has a white gold buckle.
