The
Patek Philippe Complications Ref 5224R-001, unveiled in 2023, is a remarkable addition to the Maison's long-standing tradition of innovation and sophistication in luxury watchmaking. This model stands as a modern evolution, paying homage to classic design codes while integrating contemporary technical advancements to meet the needs of today’s discerning traveller.
With the 5224R-001,
Patek Philippe extends this heritage by embracing a dual-time functionality, a nod to the historical travel watches that have been part of the brand’s offerings since the 1950s. The decision to display time in a unique 24-hour format further reinforces the model’s practical appeal for world travellers, while the rose gold case and navy-blue dial reimagine Patek Philippe's legacy in a modern, luxurious light.
The design of the 5224R-001 balances classic elegance with an adventurous spirit. Its 42mm case is crafted from warm 18k rose gold, harmonizing with the dark blue of the dial to create a sophisticated aesthetic. The dial itself features a subtle sunburst finish that enhances its depth, while rose-gold-applied hour markers and fine Dauphine hands add refined visual detail.
Distinctively, the 5224R-001 presents time in a 24-hour format, distinguishing between day and night with two contrasting semi-circles on the dial. This format is rare in the luxury watch world and was chosen to simplify dual-time readability, making it immediately clear which hours correspond to daytime and night-time in both the local and home time zones.
The strap of the 5224R-001, crafted from navy-blue calfskin leather, complements the dial’s rich blue tones and secures comfortably with a rose-gold fold-over clasp. This design choice ensures the watch is as comfortable as it is visually striking, seamlessly merging form with function.
Ultimately, the Patek Philippe 5224R-001 is more than a timepiece; it is a statement of refined taste and travel-ready sophistication. By blending Patek Philippe’s historical dedication to quality craftsmanship with innovative features suited to the modern collector, this model embodies a new era in luxury watchmaking, honouring tradition while boldly looking forward.
