  • Catalogue Essay

    World time watches were invented, as is the case with most innovations, out of necessity. With the advent of the industrial age came global trade and world travel and, as a direct result, there was a need for timekeeping devices capable of tracking time in multiple time zones. A successor from the modern iteration of the ref. 5130, the ref 5230 debuted in 2016 in the Patek Philippe catalogue first in pink and white gold fitted with a beautifully crafted guilloche dial and a graduated 24-hour ring with a day and night indication encircled by a rotating disc 24 cities.

    In 2022, Patek Philippe introduced three new world time wristwatches at Watches & Wonders: ref. 5231G-001 with Cloisnée enamel dial featuring Australia, ref. 7130R-014 with green dial and diamond-set bezel, and last but not least, the ref. 5230P-001, the platinum world time with a new blue on blue look. Sized at a perfect 38.5mm diameter platinum case, the azure blue dial is aesthetically striking. Highly sought after, Patek Philippe just discontinued the ref. 5230P-001 this year, giving this reference a short production period. The first example to be auctioned at Phillips and fresh-to-the-market, the present ref. 5230P is in “like-new” condition and accompanied by its original Certificate of Origin and accessories. Time to strap on this handsome timepiece and hop on the plane for your next trip.
