Of note, the new movement does away with any pushers – previous travel times from Patek (like the 5524) had large pushers, so link this makes for a case that looks completely balanced. A real link Calatrava, link in other words.
As it's arguable that the mark of quality for a three-hand-plus-date movement is that you basically never have to think about it, this isn't exactly a straightforward hands-on. The goal link for an everyday movement is different than that of a tourbillion, rattrapante chronograph, or link a minute repeater. The goal link is simple: quiet fuss-free performance and reliability, and only time will prove those factors for the Caliber 400.
All that built up to something that felt special. While I expected to be dazzled by the watches I saw on wrists and on display (and I was), I came away more fulfilled by the link conversations that took place both with the brands and as I walked between booths and ran into friends and industry legends alike. The first link night, I ran into the Dufours, Kari Voutilainen, and Rexhep Rexhepi, all within 30 feet of link each other.
This new Air-King entirely repositions the collection – moving link into the hallowed halls of Rolex's Professional watch line. With that distinction comes a completely new case. Out is the Milgauss-style body, and in is the case-shape we've come link to recognize on the GMT-Master II with link its sharp squareness and slab sides. This case design comes exclusively with crown guards, which is why we see them here.
