Now, I want a Patek Philippe 5522a....

Honesty my first intention was thinking of getting a 5522a, when I first saw it....

But little did I know it was a limited edition of 600 pieces and it all sold out at a retail price of $21,567....

I refuse to pay crazy premium....

With that being said, if one day Patek Philippe will make it as a regular production Pilot with a clean dial like 5522 I be all over it.....


WoW.....!!!

What a surprise and coincidence out of all the cars Tim pick Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot 5522a (Rolls Royce of watch) to goes with a Mercedes Benz SL R129....

I got the car but no 5522.....

Click the bottom video and fast forward to 21:35 where he talk about Patek Philippe 5522 and SL R129.....

I believe we may see another 5522 (or probably another variant) at the 2019 Grand Exhibition in Asia, likely Singapore.

Eagerly anticipating

A fun watch that’s wildly overpriced but aren’t they all?

It was ok at 22k, though I don't like it much, but at premium no way

Buy a 5524r travel Time Pilot instead, much more useful.

So easy to wear the 5522. Light and comfortable. Super easy to read. I really like it.

The 5522 is a bargain at any price.

I have to say that the more I wear the 5522 ; the more I enjoy it. The blue is stunning and while 42mm; it wears well on my 6.75 inch wrist.

The provenance and heritage is awesome...steel..calatrava...limited edition
