Patek Philippe’s reference 5230G, New York Edition, was a celebration of both the brand’s long, prestigious history, and their landmark 2017 exhibition “Patek Philippe - The Art of Watches Grand Exhibition.” A comprehensive 10-day event featuring over 450 curated timepieces from the Patek Philippe Museum, it was the largest watch-related exhibition ever held in the United States. Accordingly, Patek Philippe issued nine limited edition timepieces, including the present reference 5230G - a stunning world-time wristwatch featuring a metallic, Art Deco relief of the Manhattan skyline on the dial made in only 300 examples.
The present example is fresh to the market and preserved in superb condition. It represents a rare opportunity to own this modern synthesis of Patek Philippe’s historical past and technical mastery, not to mention a watch commemorating such a milestone for the company as the NY Grand Exhibition.
