Patek Philippe World Time ref. 5130R

Details

The first ever World Time movement was created by Louis Cottier in 1931. Patek Philippe was among the first to adopt his mechanism, adding a World Time complication to its offerings in 1937.

Fast forward to today, the Cottier World Time complication is largely unchanged. It still displays information through a rotating 24-hour disk with various cities and timezones, and looks largely the same. It shows that once achieved, perfection is hard to top.

This Patek Philippe is in mint condition, with no visible marks or scratches. The watch comes with the original inner and outer boxes as well as the warranty certificate. The watch is presented on a Molequin strap and the original Patek Philippe pin buckle, which is in immaculate condition. The original 20mm Patek Philippe strap is also included.

PATEK PHILIPPE

To many, Patek Philippe is the epitome of the high-end watchmaker. Throughout its nearly two centuries' of existence, it has weathered everything from the World Wars to the Quartz Crisis of the 1980s. Even today, it's widely acknowledged to be amongst the most successful and prestigious watchmakers, with its creations gracing wrists of everyone from bankers and politicians to rappers and actors.
