Patek Philippe
“Ref. 5520P-001 Alarm Travel Time”


Patek Philippe unveils Alarm Travel Time, which adds an alarm function to the model that shows the second time with its second skeleton hand. Housed in its platinum case is the newly designed AL.30-660 S C FUS that synchronizes the alarm with the local time like the date. The alarm equipped with the exclusive barrel and governor keeps sounding for 40 seconds or longer. The apertures beneath the 12 o'clock on the dial are: alarm on/off indicator, set time (15-minute steps) indicator and day/night indicator. The upper right crown is to set the alarm, while the lower right one is rotated to wind and set alarm or clock time. The two crowns on the left serve the same purposes for the second time.
