fantastic review
Thanks for the excellent writeup.
I am yet to be convinced by this one. However I know what generally happens with PP once I try it on the wrist. However I still focus on the shortcomings, which to me is not the design, but more the size 42 vs an ideal 40, WG as opposed to SS (or TI which would have been a phenomenal move), and the less exciting movement and power reserve. The more I look at photos the more I warm to the look however….
Hands on review of the Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 5524G
The Calatrava Pilot Travel Time succeeded at least one of its missions: during the last Baselworld Fair, it was the most talked piece. I do not remember a Patek Philippe which caused so much ink to flow in recent years. It even suffered a barrage of criti...
Great review Fx, thanks!
I am among the people who are pleased to see such a new watch from Patek's 2015 novelties. I don't know (and my bet is that I don't think so) if this reference is made to remain available on the long run but it is a nice move to me. I'll have to confirm m...

Honestly, I don't understand this watch.
A pilot / Traveller / passenger Watch? A Sports Watch? In white gold? That was a pilot Watch: Of course, Patek has no obligation to stick with the Past, and they can revisit the pilot Watch, but here, this way? For me, this one doesn't have anything speci...
Incongruity
Agree with what you say for the most part. Nonetheless, I can't help but like the look of it.
Which is the most important. Some will like it, others won't. In that sense, this is a
Strong Watch. In other senses... Best, Nicolas
I couldn't agree more amanico!
I don't understand this watch! Sorry, for me it is the worst direction PP ever went...
+1000 times!
the trouble with you my friend, is that you know too much. :-) too much horological culture! I personally think it is sad to see a make like Patek Philippe entering this fashionable neo-vintage market, and entering it in that manner. There are other makes...
First I did not believe my eyes,
after that I disliked the watch a lot. I spoke with a person whose opinion I respect and he had just similar feeling till he took the watch into his hands. He told me "actually I think I love the watch, have a try". I will handle the watch in the end of M...
I still haven't seen it in person...
Having not seen it in person I don't want to be too critical. But so far, I'm surprised, it lacks Patek Philippe DNA, and I still don't recognize it as a Patek Philippe model. Lastly, I don't really give it that much attention because I'm not seeking this...
I think it is a very courageous move from Patek
as the owner of 2 traditional Pateks, the Nautilus 5712G and complication 5205R, i have to admit that this watch is a brave move from Patek and one that will prove to be right. they need from time to time to disturb the industry with such moves, else, the...

...that's what i'v been told in the Patek Geneva Salon, they will hit the market ;)
I hesitated for a second
but after I had the chance to put it on my wrist during my Patek factory visit I was sold .... yes of course I would of loved it more in steel or titanium (if only for the price :) ) but nevertheless i think you should see in the flesh to make a right dec...
You're not the first one being positive about this novelty
this makes me wanting even more to make the try myself :) Thanks Patrick. Cheers, Mark
Looks a little fake to me...
If I saw this watch on the street without having seen it was launched at Basel, I would've wondered if it was a genuine Patek Philippe. It doesn't really have the Patek Philippe DNA. The proportions are a bit off. The watch isn't offensive, in fact it dra...
