Catalogue Essay
- Patek Philippe's World Time timepieces are among the most recognizable watches in their entire lineage. The story began in the 1930s when Geneva-based watchmaker Louis Cottier collaborated with Patek Philippe to create their very own World Time mechanism, resulting in the release of the legendary reference 1415 in 1939.
- The successor to this model, the reference 2523, had a relatively short production span and was discontinued in the 1950s. However, it remains highly cherished by World Time enthusiasts, and its legendary status has been firmly established through record-breaking auction results.
- Fast forward to the year 2000, and Patek Philippe finally introduced another serially produced World Time reference, incorporating notable upgrades from its predecessors. Instead of featuring an additional crown for setting the local city, this new patented mechanism allows the wearer to set the local time zone with a gentle push. The guilloche pattern on the dial further enhances the depth and sophistication of the watch, creating a mesmerizing visual appeal.
- Designed for frequent travelers or anyone who appreciates the aesthetics of a world timer, the 37mm case sits elegantly on the wrist and is destined to become a future classic.
