Patek Philippe 5034G-001 Travel Time 18K White Gold White Dial

The Patek Philippe 5034G-001 Travel Time is a refined expression of the Calatrava aesthetic, introduced in the late 1990s and powered by the manual-wind Caliber 215 PS FUS. Its 34 mm white‑gold case is elegantly compact at just 8 mm thick, making it a discreet yet mechanically significant dual‑timepiece. The crisp white dial features Breguet‑style Arabic numerals, a small seconds subdial, and a subtle second‑time‑zone display—an understated complication that speaks to Patek’s mastery of functional elegance. The movement, beating at 28,800 vph with approximately 44 hours of power reserve, includes a Gyromax balance and is hallmarked with the Geneva seal, underscoring its technical pedigree. Though not a limited edition, this reference enjoys collector esteem for being among the first Patek Travel Time models, combining classic Calatrava lines with the practicality of dual time. Its heritage lies in marrying traditional dress watch proportions with a useful complication, appealing to discerning connoisseurs who value both form and function. The alligator strap and white‑gold buckle further underscore its dress‑watch status, offering a refined presentation that remains timeless in both style and horological significance. Excellent Condition with Patek Philippe box and papers dated 1999.
