The Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Chronograph is the first chronograph version of their Pilot-style series
The Patek Philippe Calatrava collection, introduced in 1932, is one of the brand’s most iconic models and represents the epitome of minimalist, elegant watch design. Its clean, simple dial and round case were designed in response to the economic challenges of the time, focusing on understated refinement. The Calatrava name derives from the brand’s emblem, the Calatrava cross, a symbol of their craftsmanship and heritage.

The first model, Reference 96, established the blueprint for future Calatravas. It featured a slim profile, with dauphine hands and a small seconds subdial. Over the decades, Patek Philippe has refined and updated the Calatrava line with various complications, including date functions, guilloché dials, and automatic movements, while maintaining its classic look.

A key characteristic of the Calatrava is its focus on balance and symmetry, with legible dials and discreet features. Here you can read more about the history of Patek Philippe.
