PATEK PHILIPPE 5110 P WORLDTIMER PLATINUM

Like with so many other wristwatch complications, Patek Philippe invented the world time watch and despite many other manufacturers’ interpretations of the complication, Patek still does it best. The 5110 is classically sized and perfect in every respect.

Case is solid platinum with dimensions of 36mm by 9.7mm thick. There are no superfluous design touches here at all - the case is simple and straightforward. The button at 10 o'clock advances the hour hand and the 24 hour ring in one hour increments, so that when travelling the watch can be set to local time without disturbing worldtime.

Movement is the Patek Philippe Caliber 240/188 with automatic winding, 33 jewels, Gyromax balance and self-compensating free-sprung balance spring. This caliber features gold micro-rotor construction.

Dial is grey guilloche in the center, with applied hour markers. Revolving around the center is the 24 hour ring, which makes one counter-clockwise rotation every 24 hours. The outermost area of the dial contains the names of 24 cities, each of them a reference city for each of the earth's 24 timezones. The time in the reference cities can be instantly read in this manner - a system which is much more effective than simple GMT or second timezone type watches, because the time for every area of the world is displayed.

Strap is a Patek crocodile with platinum Patek deployment clasp.

Watch is like new with Patek box.
