In 2000 Patek Philippe introduced this World Time reference that incorporated significant advancements over its predecessors. Rather than requiring an additional crown to set the local city, a new patented mechanism allowed the wearer to adjust the time zone with a simple push. The dial, adorned with a finely executed guilloché pattern, added depth and refinement, creating a mesmerizing visual presence. The ref. 5110 was produced in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold, and platinum. Designed for frequent travelers and connoisseurs of technical elegance alike, its 37mm case rests gracefully on the wrist, offering a classic expression of a modern classic.
The present fresh-to-the-market example from circa 2007 comes with its box and papers. It represents a significant iteration of the model—produced at a time when Hong Kong was still featured as the representative Asian city on the dial, before later generations adopted Beijing in its place.
