  • 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 very good 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.

  • Artist Biography

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
