Catalogue Essay
The first world time wristwatch manufactured by Patek Philippe dates back to 1937 via ref. 515. The world time wristwatch has long been an important complication to feature in a wristwatch as it is practical and elegant at the same time. Featuring a rotational wheel inside the case featuring all 24 time zones, the complication is activated by a single pusher on the top left side of the case band.

The present modern iteration in white gold fitted with a white guilloche dial by the reference 5110 was first launched in 2000. Produced in various case materials and dial configurations, the production ceased in 2006 and was replaced by reference 5130. The present example is presented in excellent overall condition.
