Catalogue Essay
- Introduced in 2016, the 5230 is a descendant of the much-loved Patek Phillipe World Time first launched in the 1930s, which have become a cult classic among watch connoisseurs.

- The pusher at 10 o’clock easily sets the home time zone for display at 12 o’clock – an ingenious mechanism patented by the firm in 1999.

- The calibre 240 HU is not only a beautifully slim movement, but it also conveniently displays the time across 24 time zones simultaneously, providing ease of mind for the owner whether at home or travelling abroad.

- The inner ring with 24-hour markings is also separated by a darker side with a moon symbol and a lighter side with a sun symbol for night/day indication.

- While enjoying all the convenience of the World Time, one can certainly take a few extra moments to admire the beauty of the exquisitely hand-crafted grey guilloché dial.

- Being one of the last modern world-times that still has Hong Kong on the outer world ring makes this present example in pink gold even more collectable in years to come.

- Fresh-to-the-market and offered in excellent condition, the present timepiece is further accompanied by its Certificate of Origin and presentation box. This is a rare chance for any watch collector to acquire a timepiece that represents horological finesse at its best.
