The 5524 is a genuinely cool pilot watch with Patek's in-house movement doing exactly what it should, but man, you're paying serious money for something that feels a bit niche compared to what you could grab elsewhere. It wears beautifully and the Travel Time complication is legit useful if you actually need it, though I can't shake the feeling that most people buying this are just flexing the dial rather than using the functionality. Solid watch, solid movement, but the value proposition gets shakier the more you think about it.
