Phileas Fogg thought he lost his bet in Around the World in 80 Days, all because he lost track of one single day. For the first time, Patek Philippe paired its patented Annual Calendar with its Travel Time system, so that slip never has to happen. Made for collectors who rack up miles like George Clooney in Up in the Air, it turns every boarding pass into a reason to check your wrist.

Presents itself in brand new condition with no signs of wear. Set against a vintage charcoal grey dial, a grainy texture inspired by old camera cases fades into a black rim, lit by 18K white gold numerals coated in beige lume. Wrapped around the entire caseband, a Clous de Paris hobnail guilloché sparkles like the chrome grille on a classic Cadillac. Finished with a hand-stitched beige nubuck calfskin strap, it closes with an 18K white gold fold-over clasp marked with the Calatrava cross.

Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, local time, home time, day and night indicators for both time zones, day, date, month, moon phase, and annual calendar. Ticking inside is the self-winding Caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H with an off-center platinum mini-rotor, 38 to 48 hours of power reserve, the Patek Philippe Seal, and 30 meters of water resistance. Found at 3 o’clock, the crown restarts a stopped movement in about 10 turns when pushed in, and pulled all the way out it sets the time, so begin at 7 a.m. when the LOCAL window shows white. Using the correction stylus, set yesterday’s day at 10 o’clock, month at 2, moon phase at 8 and date at 4, never between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., and never change the month on the 31st or 1st. Then turn the hands forward through midnight to today’s date, and when you travel, pull the crown out one click to jump the local hour hand forward or back while the calendar follows along.

Comes as a complete set, double-boxed with its leather folio, Certificate of Origin, Annual Calendar Travel Time instruction booklet, 500 Years of Watch History booklet, and correction stylus.

Rarely does a complicated watch look this relaxed, dressing down for Capri and back up for dinner in Geneva. Built for the collector whose suitcase is always half packed, it is the wingman every Maverick deserves. Your next trip already has its perfect companion waiting.
