Patek Philippe 5224R-001

24-Hour Display, Travel Time

Tuesday, 02 July 2024

24-hour display. Dual time zones. Crown-operated correction — no pushers, no buttons, just the elegance of a single crown controlling everything. The 5224R reimagines the travel time concept Patek has refined over decades, now with a completely new movement — the Cal. 31-260 PS FUS 24H — and a 24-hour dial that eliminates the need for any day/night indicator. The navy blue dial with rose gold applied numerals and contrasting finishes sits inside a 42mm case that's remarkably thin at under 10mm. It's the most modern-feeling Calatrava in the catalogue.

Collector's Note

Launched at Watches & Wonders 2023, the 5224R is genuinely new — a new movement, a new complication display, and a new approach to the travel time concept. Crown-operated time zone changes instead of pushers is an elegant engineering choice that preserves the case profile. Being allocated one demonstrates the AD's confidence that this collector will appreciate mechanical innovation, not just heritage references.
