The Reference 5164 Aquanaut Travel Time
Patek Philippe indicates the time in two different
time zones at a single glance. This makes it an ideal
companion for people who are often on the move,
be it for business or pleasure. The ingenious and
exclusive mechanism, based on a Patek Philippe
patent granted in 1959, premiered in 1997; its fas-
cination derives from the fact that it is extremely
simple to operate and eminently legible. The watch
has two differently designed center hour hands:
the solid hand shows local time and the skele-
tonized hand indicates home time at the owner's
principal place of residence or work. En route, all
it takes to adjust local time hour by hour clockwise
or counterclockwise is gentle pressure on either
of the two buttons in the side of the case. When
such adjustments are made, the local time hand
is disconnected from the movement, so the accu-
racy of time displayed by the minute and seconds
hands is not compromised. The double day/night
indicators for home time and local time are very
useful in that they prevent unintentional nighttime
phone calls that might wake up loved ones or col-
leagues. If the display of a second time zone is not
needed, the two hour hands are superposed and
move in unison. Thus, owners of a complicated
Patek Philippe watch with the Travel Time func-
tion actually possess two timepieces in one. The
Aquanaut Travel Time Reference 5164 combines
the very useful display of two time zones with
the convenience of a self-winding movement that
features a Spiromax
a trailblazing development that enhances the rate
accuracy and reliability of your watch.
