Patek Philippe Watch Art Grand Exhibition Singapore 2019 Brings Forth 5 Limited-Edition ...

Like the New York exhibition two years ago, the Singapore event features ten different theme rooms plus a space dedicated to Singapore itself, which celebrates 200 years as a city-state this year The Calatrava Pilot Travel Time has been a subject of conversation for followers of the brand since its release in 2015 at Baselworld; purists aren't sure it fits in the brand's lineup the way it should, while the majority of younger watch buyers embrace it wholeheartedly Here it comes in a 400-piece limited edition with blue-gray tones that Patek Philippe says are meant to recall sea views in Southeast Asia.

The 5531 World Time Minute Repeater was first seen upon its introduction at the New York Grand Exhibition after which it became part of the brand's regular collection in 2018 Limited to just five pieces in the Singapore edition, this automatic beauty housed in a pink gold case recalls the old-world crafts that Patek Philippe has worked so hard to preserve in the modern era: a hand-enameled map of Singapore graces the center of the dial, while the city-state's name replaces Beijing on the world time reference city disk Last, but not least, the World Time Chronograph - which also trades out Beijing for Singapore on its world time reference city ring - uses Southeast Asia's lucky red color for its gorgeous gradient dial, which is dark around the perimeter and gets progressively lighter and brighter toward the center.

Having premiered with a blue dial in 2016, in this 300-piece limited edition the automatic watch is housed in a white gold case. . Source
