Pilot's Calatrava New York 2017

Tuesday, 26 May 2020

Six hundred pieces for the New York boutique opening, simplified from the travel time to a basic pilot Calatrava. In steel. The 5522A barely registered in the mainstream press — which is part of why collectors value it. Sourced at auction, it rewards patience and awareness over access and budget.

Collector's Note

600 pieces, steel, for the New York boutique opening. The 5522A is a 'collector-knows' reference — it rarely appears in mainstream coverage, and the fact that it was sourced at auction shows a collector willing to be patient and precise, not just well-connected.
