The present reference is the Patek Philippe 5230P-001 Worldtime in Platinum is an embodiment of sophistication and high-end watchmaking, showcasing Patek Philippe’s longstanding expertise in creating world-class timepieces. This exquisite watch is part of the esteemed World Time collection, renowned for its functionality and elegance.
This Patek Philippe 5230P-001 Worldtime in Platinum is new, never worn. Manufactured in 2023, comes with Patek Philippe international warranty. Full set like from Patek Philippe boutique. Accompanied by leather wallet with Patek Philippe international warranty certificate, product literature and a wooden Patek Philippe presentation box.
Crafted from platinum, a metal revered for its rarity and durability, the 5230P-001 boasts a 38.5mm case that radiates with a distinct luster unique to this precious metal. The choice of platinum not only adds a touch of luxury but also ensures the watch’s longevity and prestige.
At the heart of this timepiece lies a self-winding mechanical movement, caliber 240 HU, which is a testament to Patek Philippe’s commitment to precision and reliability. The movement is intricately designed, featuring a 22K gold mini-rotor, visible through the sapphire-crystal case back, a hallmark of Patek Philippe’s attention to detail and craftsmanship.
The dial of the 5230P-001 is both functional and aesthetically striking. It features a hand-guilloched center with a blue hue, surrounded by a ring that displays 24 time zones. The elegance of the dial is enhanced by the applied white gold hour markers and hands, offering clarity and readability. One of the most distinctive features of this model is its ability to simultaneously display the time in multiple zones, a feature invaluable to the modern, global traveler.
In 2016, the reference 5230 signed Patek Philippe, evolving from the 5110 and 5130, serves as an invitation to travel in business class. Reviving the display imagined by Louis Cottier in the 1930s, twenty-four time zones can be easily read on the dial in the blink of an eye. The principle? A graduated 24-hour disc with a day/night indication is encircled by another disc on which the names of the main related cities are indicated. Their synchronized rotations enable a quick and easy reading of the respective local times. After the 5230G-001 variation in white gold, this year’s model, the 5230P-001, combines a dark azure dial with a delicate circular guilloche pattern in the center with a platinum case measuring 38.5mm in diameter and 10.23mm thick. At the top, a pair of hands indicates the reference time.
For this refined variation, the slender 240 HU caliber, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, is at the helm. As with the off-center gold micro-rotor, the beautifully finished components of this self-winding movement with a 48-hour power reserve are revealed through the sapphire caseback. Pressing the push-button at 10 o’clock allows for easy adjustment of the world time. The 5230P-001 is worn on an elegant navy-blue calf leather wristband with a folding clasp.
