When released, the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time by perfect replica Patek Philippe UK was already quite a controversial piece, but the Maison took it a step further with the Alarm Travel Time 5520P. Spread around the platinum case are no less than four crowns and pushers, operating all the mechanics.
The one at 4′ winds and sets both the luxury fake Patek Philippe and the alarm mechanism. The pusher at 2′ sets the alarm to on or off. The pushers at 8′ and 10′ allow you to set the local hour hand forwards and backwards. Clever, complex, controversial (a bit) and contemporary, but finished at the typical Swiss movement replica Patek Philippe level. The price reflects that as well, as the 5520P costs EUR 280,500.
