Data: Jun 21, 2007

Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time is created for ladies who enjoy traveling through time zones. The elegant timepiece, based upon traditional horological values of the company, offers the advantage of the Calatrava double time zone function.

The Calatrava Travel Time for ladies has inherited classical features of the Calatrava line. The timepiece is technically sophisticated, being powered by a movement simultaneously displaying two time zones. The watch's supreme femininity is strengthened by the refined art of jewelery.

The Patek Philippe ladies' watch sports a round-shaped case crafted in white or pink gold. The Calatrava Travel Time features two rounded pushbuttons on the left side used for advancing or retarding the local time. The pushbuttons form a nice symmetry with the crown supports. The bezel of the watch is worth special attention - it is set with 48 Top Wesselton diamonds. The timepiece offers the choice between two variations - a white gold case with the mother-of-pearl dial in blue-white, and the pink gold model with the mother-of-pearl dial in brown and champagne.

The Calatrava Travel Time is driven by the manual-winding Calibre 215 PS FUS. The mechanism is composed of 178 components. Its over-sized Gyromax balance beats at the rate of 28,800 vph. The elaboration of the movement took the Patek Philippe watchmakers several months of meticulous handwork. They equipped the caliber with all distinctive signs of the brand's mechanism, including decorated plates and bridges, hand-polished steel pinions and chamfered bridges. The perfectness of the mechanism is crowned by the prestigious Geneva Seal.

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time is really easy to use. When the watch's lady-owner is in her home time zone, the two hands showing the home time and the local are superimposed. When the lady-owner finds herself in another time zone, she only has to switch on one of the two corrector pushbuttons, thus detaching the hour hand for the local time zone and advancing or retarding it according to the time difference. moreover, the timepiece maintains the precision of the minutes and seconds due to a mechanism separating the watch's gear trains.

The two hour hands of the ladies' watch feature different design and provide supreme readability. The local time is indicated by a plain hand, while the home time is shown by a skeleton hand. There is also a small 24-hour dial synchronized with the home time to keep the lady-owner aware whether it is day or night at home.

The Calatrava Travel Time will surely add pleasure, comfort and aesthetic beauty to a ladies' traveling hours.
