Patek Philippe 5575G-001 World Time Moon 175th Anniversary

For its 175th anniversary, Patek Philippe has reinterpreted this legendary model, giving it a hauntingly poetic moon phase display. To help it venture into these new technical and aesthetic dimensions, the manufacture has developed a new version of ultra-thin self-winding movement: the caliber 240 HU LU. The engineers have dispensed with the usual aperture and its disk adorned with two moons; instead, a single, large, richly atmospheric moon turns clockwise, at the center of the dial, against a star-studded nocturnal sky. The effect is achieved with two very thin disks of mineral glass. The lower disk, depicting the moon, completes a rotation in a lunar month. The fixed upper disk is a heart-shaped mask; its outline reveals the changing visible portion of the moon night after night with astonishing accuracy. A complex new metalization technique has produced a moon whose face stands out against its starry background with almost photographic realism.

This voyage in time and space is offered in models for men and women, with subtle variations. The larger 39.8 mm men’s 5575G-001 pairs an 18k white gold case with a black dial, and is produced in a limited edition of 1,300. The 5575G-001 World Time Moon watches feature the Geneva time-zone, instead of the usual Paris time-zone.

Launched in 1930 and patented in 1959, Patek Philippe’s World Time innovation has reached cult status with seasoned travelers and collectors. With its two rotating disks, it shows the time simultaneously in all 24 time zones; a subsequent patented mechanism enables the owner of the watch, when changing time zones, to correct all the displays with the single push of a button.
