Quick TakeImagine a world traveler who effortlessly glides through time zones, never missing a beat. The Patek Philippe Alarm Travel Time Ref. 5520P is their perfect companion. This watch is a symphony of complications, a conductor of timekeeping featuring a local and home time display with day/night indicators, all complemented by a sophisticated 24-hour alarm mechanism with its own day/night indicator. The craftsmanship is undeniable, from the intricate self-winding movement with its 574 parts to the luxurious platinum case. This is a timepiece not just for navigating the globe, but for making a statement. It's a watch that speaks volumes about the man or woman who wears it, a declaration of refined taste and appreciation for the finer things in life.

DescriptionThe Patek Philippe Alarm Travel Time Ref. 5520P is a wristwatch designed for the discerning traveler who demands both functionality and elegance. At the heart of the watch lies the self-winding Caliber AL 30-660 S C FUS, a testament to Patek Philippe's engineering prowess. This intricate movement, comprised of 574 parts and protected by 52 jewels, boasts an impressive array of complications.

The timekeeping functionality is nothing short of exceptional. The watch features a local time display with central hands and a date aperture, while a separate aperture showcases the home time. To ensure clarity between the two time zones, day/night indicators are incorporated for both local and home time displays. This allows the wearer to maintain a clear picture of time irrespective of their location. But the Ref. 5520P transcends mere timekeeping. A true grand complication, this watch boasts a 24-hour alarm mechanism. The user sets the desired alarm time through an aperture on the dial, and when the appointed hour arrives, a hammer strikes a classic gong, emitting a distinct chime. An additional complication provides an alarm on/off indication and a day/night indicator for the alarm itself, ensuring the user remains in control of this refined timekeeping instrument.

The engineering marvel within is housed in a 42.2 mm diameter platinum case. This precious metal selection imbues the watch with a sense of sophistication andheft, while its polished finish exudes timeless elegance. The case back can be interchanged between a solid back for a more traditional look or a sapphire crystal back to showcase the intricate workings of the Caliber AL 30-660 S C FUS movement. The watch is further secured to the wrist by a black calfskin strap with a clevis prong buckle, ensuring a comfortable and confident fit. Even the seemingly basic aspects of the Ref. 5520P are crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The ebony black sunburst dial features applied gold numerals with a luminescent coating, ensuring excellent legibility in all lighting conditions. The sapphire crystal protecting the dial is anti-reflective, further enhancing readability. With a water resistance of 30 meters, the watch can withstand splashes and brief immersion but is not intended for significant underwater exposure.
