Presented here is a refined Patek Philippe World Time reference 5230G, crafted in 18k white gold and dating to circa 2016. This reference represents one of the modern evolutions of Patek Philippe’s celebrated World Time complication, a function historically associated with the manufacture since the 1930s. The 38.5 mm white gold case appears to be unpolished and shows only light wear from careful use. Its elegant proportions and sculpted lugs perfectly complement the sophisticated design of the model. The watch features a beautiful grey guilloché dial, with the signature world time display allowing the wearer to read the time simultaneously across 24 time zones. The finely decorated center adds depth and refinement while maintaining excellent legibility. Powering the watch is an automatic Patek Philippe movement, visible through the sapphire caseback and finished to the high standards expected from the manufacture. This example is fitted with a black Patek Philippe alligator strap and an 18k white gold Patek Philippe deployant clasp. The watch is offered without its original box or papers, but comes with a Christie’s invoice, the piece having been sold at auction by Christie’s in 2023. An elegant and highly desirable modern World Time from Patek Philippe, combining technical heritage, timeless aesthetics, and excellent overall condition.
