Patek Philippe Presents the Ref 5230 in a Platinum Case for the First Time

The cosmopolitan Ref 5230 is getting a touch up from Patek Philippe by way of a platinum case, blue dial and navy blue calfskin strap.

The Reference 5230 is a direct descendant of the famous Patek Philippe World Time watches launched during the 1930s. The collector community has deemed these pieces cult favorites, and for good reason. The new platinum-cased Ref 5230’s dial center is adorned with a new circular hand-guilloched motif. The ultrathin self-winding movement with its two city and 24-hour rotating disks serves to keep simultaneous and permanent track of the time in all 24 time zones.

Thanks to an ingenious mechanism patented in 1999, the user can simultaneously correct all the World Time displays in one-hour increments by simply pressing the pusher at 10 o’clock.

The ref 5230 is water resistant to 30m and its case diameter measures 38.5mm. As proof of the ultra-thin label used previously, the height of the watch is a mere 10.23mm.
