Patek Philippe

The World Time complication or “Heure Universelle” ranks amongst Patek Philippe’s most sought after complications. This is hardly surprising, as this venerable complication spans a rich history over the last 80 years. The masterpieces crafted in the manuf...

Your post made me appreciate the history of a wonderful and usefull complication. Thank you. Best wishes. Geross.

......not sure I have seen a better review of the WT

Many thanks and truly appreciate your kind words Best Imran

But Brisbane didn't stick-Noumea is still in. I just changed my shiny black strap to a dark brown python: And London is still on the dial-not Liverpool. Cheers! ...  

Think about it.......

Apparently the Sterns agree.

Big thank you for this walk through history until now! Very enjoyable and educational. The 2523 is like a wet dream! Best Blomman

Firstly, thank you for the painstaking research that you have undertaken here. I know how long this must have taken and your time and expertise is very much appreciated. secondly, I particularly appreciate this specific theme of WTs. I find Patek Philippe... 

Thank you so much for taking the time to produce such an informative post I can imagine the time involved. My education in WT’s was very overdue and is very much appreciated. I can now have a much deeper understanding and affection for this complication w... 

Now I'm more impatient for the 5230 to arrive. Aris

An interesting article, rich information.

And why collectors keep on coming back Lots of hard work and research made available to anyone interested Thanks J

Thanks

The 5230 is the world time which I like the most, AFTER, the 5110. Its proportions, its dial, even its hands... I find these details very appealing. I wonder if one day, they will make an enameled version of that reference, and if we'll have a non enamele... 

....get your 5110P and then go to the Paris Salon and ask them to try on the 5930G. Have the 5110p and 5930G next to each other. See how that feels......

Of the watches Baron Don’t get excited 🤦🏽‍♂️

.... you may revise your thinking.... maybe.

Maybe they only do platinum with enamel dial?? Who knows!!

for sharing such a thorough & comprehensive article. fantastic job! reading your article makes me love PP WT series even more. cheers

I'm looking forward to 5230P. If the dial will have a great colour, this version can become #1 World Time for me. Naturally the enamel pieces are another story. Best, Kari

I hope I might have a chance on the 5131p But I also would love a plat of the 5230

excellent post, especially on my favorite complication ! The information and photos were very useful and interesting. With the current size, I wish Patek could cover more than 24 cities like the previous versions. Do you think this wish might come true ? ... 

The mechanics of the movement only allows for 24 zones

so much interesting information and spectacular gathering of photos. the world time range is key to Patek and seeing the evolution of it in a post like this makes it even more special. Patek certainly has done a great job maintaining this series and evolv... 

Both copy and photos were informative and enjoyable to read !! Many thanks for you efforts. Steve

Great post and thanks for sharing the history of this WT timepiece. Made me appreciate the 5230 more with this post. Thanks again!

Here a close up shot of my 5110R! ...  

....very tempting indeed

Thanks for the effort Imran. I do agree that the 5110 is the WT CULT WATCH Again, thanks, Steve
