Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 42mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 42 mm case suggests

Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time 42mm measures 45.7 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.09 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 67% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 62% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 51 mm (2.01 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 61 mm (2.40 in) it starts to look compact. Below 45.7 mm (1.80 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
