Rightfully titled “Travel Time,” the Patek Phillippe Calatrava (Ref. 5034) is a model that marries classic aesthꦦeticism and practical functionality. A dual-time wristwatch, the Travel Time 5034 allows its wearers to read and adjust two time zones with ease: the black hands display the local time, while the gold hand displays the reference time. The 5034 sports a🧜n ultra-thin look, courtesy of its manual winding 215 caliber movement.

The present example features a 33.3mm case of 18k white gold, slender lugs, a pair of pushers on the case activating the jumping hour hand, as well as a Patek-esque clous de Paris bezel. The dial is a clean, classic white dial wit🍎h painted Breguet numerals and a closed minute track. Along with the set of black and gold hands special to the dual-time function, this 5034 additionally displays two subsidiary dials with t♚he one indicating running seconds (positioned at 6 o’clock) and the other indicating 24 hours (positioned at 12 o’clock). Tying it all together, this piece comes paired with a sleek black alligator-leather strap original to the Patek brand and a white gold Patek buckle to match.
