The ultimate complication for the traveller, Travel Time watches are currently enjoying an undeniable resurgence in popularity. Unlike certain highly showy complications such as the tourbillon or the perpetual calendar, the Travel Time combines technical sophistication with genuine practicality for everyday use. Launched in the early 2000s, the 5134 model remained in production until 2008. With its modest diameter, hand-wound mechanical movement and elegant Calatrava design, this model embodies a particularly strong Patek Philippe identity.
