Patek Philippe World Time 5230P-001
The Patek Philippe World Time collection have been none of the longest standing complications in the history of the brand. The traditional city ring around a guilloché centre have become an iconic design that is instantly recognisable. This iteration in platinum is a refreshing update for the world time series, opting for an all-blue toned dial. With previous models keeping the traditions with a white/silvered city ring, this latest upgrade adds youthfulness and is a fantastic match to the more contemporary case design.

The watch was only worn a handful of times and is in fantastic condition near mint 9.8/10 condition. There are little to no scratches on all surfaces of the watch, few a few hairline scratches along the lugs only. The original strap and platinum buckle is kept in unworn condition and the watch is in normal running order.
Our Thoughts:
The world time complication have always been one of our favourites. with this particular example, Patek Philippe’s decision to go for a brand new look with a full blue dial instead of a blue guilloché centre shows that the brand is moving forward with creating bolder designs to capture a wider audience, which we absolutely love.
The way they have tapered the blue colour adds playfulness without overdoing it and making the watch look cheap, at 38.5mm the watch keeps it main focus as a dress watch but with a hint of informality with the blue dial and blue strap.
