Will we ever see a Calatrava Pilot 5522 or 5524?

Have always been a huge fan of this release from Patek, and am surprised until now there has been no mention if the rep makers will add these to their offerings

Any thoughts from you guys?

I personally would prefer the 5522 for its simplicity, but its a limited edition (worldwide 600 pcs) - I feel like it would stand out amongst watch enthusiasts.

If the factories can get the complications of the 5524 correct, that would be a fantastic rep to use for those who like dual time (myself included)

Would love having them on my wrist. TBH I doubt they would rep these watches unless they see huge interests.

Let’s tell them!
We want those watches!
And we want them now!
Lol

Agree, this is one of my dream watches. It's surprising that they haven't even tried

The 5522 is 9mm thick and it’s so simple. Please make one and I will buy two

I would buy a good rep of the 5522 in a heart beat. The complications of the 5524 seem difficult to do with a thin case. Those numerals are so handsome

I'll ask Kobe and see what he thinks. I think ZF could pull this off reasonably well given their current record with Patek.

I will buy any of these without blinking!

I was looking at the Montblanc 1858 watches. It's kind-of-a homage of these Patek's. The dual-time looks like the 5524G and have the day-night indicator, sub-second and also the dual-time. Although it doesn't have the alarm function:
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/montblanc-1858-two-tone-stainless-steel-bronze-introducing

I was considering them, but gave it up as it is a 44mm, will be too big for me.

And then there is the Montblanc 1858 40mm which resembles the Patek 5522, but have a black dial instead of the Patek's blue dial.

Hopefully they'll rep the 5522. I think the 5524G is probably not possible to rep because of the alarm function.

There has been a rep of this watch, it never turned up on TD sites but it definitely got repped (it was too large though). If you’re interested I’d email someone like WatchFinder who will go looking for it for you, if it’s out there they can generally find it!

Just seen it! Aesthetically the blue dial looks spot on.. I'm very impressed with how it looks for a first attempt. Size & thickness appear very close to gen as well. Its just a slight shame it comes on a black leather and not brown like gen does.

majwilliams0308 might be picking up one soon to GP.. Hoping for some of his professional photos.
