The Patek Philippe 5522 is one of those rare casual elegant timepieces
from a storied brand of formal elegant timepieces. Having debuted at
the 2017 Patek Philippe New York City Exhibition to the delight of watch
collectors worldwide, it was immediately appreciated for its casual
elegance, its modernly large 42mm size, and its undeniable cool
aviator’s vibe.
The
watch dial has highly luminescent applied hour markers in an art deco
font. The hour and minute hands are blued and each possess two luminous
segments. The bezel has an unusual "stepped" bezel that is an
exquisite detail, somewhat similar to the 5070 and 5074 models.
The
steel buckle has an unusual cantilever shape that faithfully resembles
strap buckles used by military pilots for their equipment.
This
significant timepiece is offered from its original owner and with a
second black Patek Philippe supplied strap that is made to the exacting
specifications of the 5522A, the standard brown strap is also
included. The timepiece is in excellent condition, as it has been
meticulously cared for by a cautious and thoughtful individual. It
comes complete with box and papers.
With only 600 pieces of the
5522A ever produced, this is one of the finest time-only references
from the Patek Philippe maison in recent history. It is extremely
desirable because of its unusually large size, its vintage aviator vibe,
and its casual but elegant design.
