Patek Philippe 5524G & 5524R : Lug Width, Case Size & Strap Guide.

Quick answer: the Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 5524G and 5524R both have a 42mm case, are 10.78mm thick and have a 21mm lug width. Straps for them taper from 21mm at the lugs to 18mm at the buckle.

What is the Patek Philippe 5524G?

Patek Philippe unveiled the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time at Baselworld in 2015, and it surprised collectors. The Calatrava name usually means a slim, formal dress watch. The 5524 is a larger, sportier take with big luminous Arabic numerals, two knurled pushers on the left of the case and a travel complication built for frequent flyers.

That complication lets you move the local hour hand forward or back one hour at a time. The minutes, seconds and home time keep running, so you can reset your watch after landing without stopping it.

5524G lug width and case size

The 5524G has a 42mm white gold case, 10.78mm thick, with a 21mm lug width. Most straps taper to 18mm at the buckle.

Some sites quote 22mm, but dealers listing the 5524G-001 give 21mm. If unsure, measure between the lugs with calipers.

Patek Philippe 5524 models: 5524G-001, 5524G-010 and 5524R-001

The Calatrava Pilot Travel Time comes in three references. All three share the same 42mm case, the same 21mm lug width and the same pilot-style dial layout, so one strap shape fits all of them.

Patek Philippe 5524G-001

The original 2015 white gold model, launched at Baselworld, with a blue sunburst dial. This is the reference most people mean when they search for the “5524G”.

Patek Philippe 5524G-010

A later white gold version with an ivory (white) dial. Same 42mm case and 21mm lugs as the 5524G-001, so it takes the same 21/18mm straps.

Patek Philippe 5524R-001

The rose gold version, with a brown sunburst dial that fades to black. Same 42mm case and 21mm lugs, so our 21/18mm leather and rubber straps fit the 5524R as well. Tan, olive, chocolate and black look especially good against rose gold.

Reference	Metal	Dial	Case	Lug width
5524G-001	White gold	Blue sunburst	42mm	21mm
5524G-010	White gold	Ivory	42mm	21mm
5524R-001	Rose gold	Brown sunburst	42mm	21mm

Patek Philippe 5924G: the flyback chronograph version

If you searched for the 5924G, you are looking at the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Flyback Chronograph, the sibling of the 5524. It adds a flyback chronograph to the dual time zone function, in the same white gold, 42mm pilot case style and with the same 21mm lug width. Our 21/18mm strap shape suits it as well.

Patek Philippe 5924G-010

White gold with a khaki green dial, shown on a matching green calf strap with cream stitching.

Patek Philippe 5924G-001

White gold with a slate grey-blue dial, shown on a dark blue grained calf strap with cream stitching.

Reference	Metal	Dial	Case	Lug width
5924G-010	White gold	Khaki green	42mm	21mm
5924G-001	White gold	Slate grey-blue	42mm	21mm
