More about World Time 5130G

This is an 18K white gold Patek Philippe World Time 5130G-001. It has a blue alligator leather strap with an 18K white gold deployant clasp, and a scratch resistant sapphire crystal. It includes a screw-down exhibition sapphire case back and protected crown. There is a push button on the band at 10 o'clock to activate the settable discs with the different time zones, as well as the 24 hours and jump-type time setting. The 39.5mm diameter solid two-body case, flat bezel, and downturned lugs are polished/brushed. The dial is silvered guilloche with a sunburst pattern in the center, with applied black dart hour marker indexes, and oxidized gold alpha hands with a center sweep seconds hand, and a ring hour hand referencing the designs of the 1930's. An outer ring 24-hour time zone is split into nocturnal and diurnal hemispheres, with the second time zone registering at the 12 o'clock position. The outermost revolving brushed silver ring dial is engraved with the names of 24 global locations. It's water resistant to 30 meters/100 feet, and it has a 48 hour power reserve at full wind. The 10mm thick case, dial, and movement are all signed. The mechanical automatic self-winding Patek Philippe 240-228 movement is rhodium-plated, with fausses cotes embellishment, and it's stamped with the Seal of Geneva quality mark. It's constructed with 33 jewels, 239 components, a Gyromax balance wheel that's adjusted to temperature, isochronism, and 5 positions, a self-compensating Breguet flat balance spring, and a 22K gold off-center mini-rotor which vibrates at 21,600 vph (3 Hz) an hour. This watch was introduced in 2006. It replaced the ref. 5110 that debuted in 2000 for the millennium, which was inspired by the original World Time watches. The Patek World Time system is based on master horologist, Louis Cottier’s 1930’s mechanism for exhibiting every time zone on the planet.
