This is THE reference article on Patek Philippe World Time
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 world time watches totally alluring and to appreciate the current modern offerings in teh context of the history of the watch within Patek creates a greater appreciation for me of the watches themelves.
Fantastic post and congratulations to you on doing it.

Patek Philippe: Ref 5230: An historical review of the World Time
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...
Excellent post Imran and
nice historical overview of PP's WT definitely one of watchmaking icons. The reference post to return to. Cheers D
Very comprehensive post on Patek world times.
Your post made me appreciate the history of a wonderful and usefull complication. Thank you. Best wishes. Geross.
Your reply means a lot, makes it worthwhile
Many thanks and truly appreciate your kind words Best Imran
Excellent, my friend.
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! ...
I need to know what time it is in Noumea every second of every day.
Apparently the Sterns agree.
Absolutely fantastic read!
Big thank you for this walk through history until now! Very enjoyable and educational. The 2523 is like a wet dream! Best Blomman

Incredible work Imran.
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...
Spectacular work imran This is why purists is the best site
And why collectors keep on coming back Lots of hard work and research made available to anyone interested Thanks J
Imran, first of all thank you for such an interesting article on the 5230.
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...
I have a project for you......
....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......
I would live a picture next to each other
Of the watches Baron Don’t get excited 🤦🏽♂️
I totally get you, I wonder if they will do a platinum?
Maybe they only do platinum with enamel dial?? Who knows!!
Thank you very much, Imran...
for sharing such a thorough & comprehensive article. fantastic job! reading your article makes me love PP WT series even more. cheers
Thank you Imran for a fantastic post.
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
Kari, we are on the same path
I hope I might have a chance on the 5131p But I also would love a plat of the 5230
Hi Imran, thank you very much for such an...
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 ? ...
amazing post!
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...
Wonderful review
Both copy and photos were informative and enjoyable to read !! Many thanks for you efforts. Steve
That's World Time 101 for me!
Great post and thanks for sharing the history of this WT timepiece. Made me appreciate the 5230 more with this post. Thanks again!
Thank you for this wonderful post. Enjoyed reading this a lot.
Here a close up shot of my 5110R! ...
A most enjoyable synopsis of PP/WT
Thanks for the effort Imran. I do agree that the 5110 is the WT CULT WATCH Again, thanks, Steve
