Catalogue Essay
Introduced in 2016, the Patek Philippe Reference 5230 is a modern descendant of the iconic World Time watches first launched by the brand in the 1930s, which have since become ultimate collectables in the world of vintage Patek Philippe.

The present timepiece features a patented pusher at 10 o'clock that effortlessly sets the home time zone displayed at 12 o'clock, offering a unique blend of innovation and tradition. Powered by the slim and elegant caliber 240 HU, it displays the time across 24 time zones, with a beautifully designed inner ring indicating night and day through sun and moon symbols.

While Patek Philippe also offers world time models with cloisonné enamel maps for dial centers, there is an understated beauty and timeless elegance with this grey guilloché dial, as it enhances the silver hour ring and opaline dial. Fresh-to-market and kept in like new condition, it is accompanied by its complete set of accessories.
