Catalogue Essay
Encased in striking black, the present ref. 5575G features a monochromatic moon phase display at the center, complemented by a classic chapter ring showcasing 24 cities. The wearer can observe the moon's journey across the starry night sky as each month unfolds, thanks to the double-layered disc in the center. In a unique departure from traditional world time complications, the Central European time zone, which typically highlights Paris, has been replaced by Geneva, paying homage to the home city of Patek Philippe.
This captivating model was produced in a limited edition of 1,300 pieces, honoring Louis Cottier’s 1931 invention of the world time complication. Well-preserved in excellent overall condition, this World Time Moon is offered with its full set of original accessories.
