Baselworld 2018: Patek Philippe Debuts new Rose Gold 5524R Pilot Calatrava on Instagram

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time initially debuted in a cloud of artistic controversy in 2015 when industry insiders, used to the classicism of the Calatrava collection, were taken aback by the post-modernist aesthetic causing some to level accusations that it was similar to a Zenith pilot (the numerals mostly). However, the Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time was able to rise above the snarkiness of instagram critics like ShameOnWrist, soon cultivating a following. The Baselworld 2018 Patek Philippe ref. 5524R Calatrava Pilot Travel Time is essentially essentially a rose gold edition of the original Pilot launched in white gold.
