This new reference 7234G-001 in white gold (\u20ac42&nbsp;180) flaunts a varnished dial and a navy blue calfskin strap. The moderate size of its dial \u2013 called \u201cmedium\u201d format by Patek \u2013 is its main particularity, since it makes for a unisex watch dimension. The Genevan House had already presented in 2018 a version of same diameter, but which associated pink gold with a brown sunburst, black gradated dial and a vintage brown strap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/patek5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1000007543\" \/><figcaption><em><strong>The 2020 Calatrava Pilot Travel Time is powered by the famous self-winding Patek Philippe Calibre 324 S C FUS (solid gold rotor).<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With this blue version, Patek Philippe accomplished the feat of proposing a vintage instrument with distinct aesthetics seducing men and women alike.
