Patek Philippe World Time Enamel Dial 18K White Gold

More about World Time Enamel Dial 18K White Gold

This is an 18K white gold Patek Philippe World Time with Enamel Cloisonne Dial 5131G-010. It has an alligator leather strap with an 18K white gold deployment Calatrava emblem release buckle, and a scratch resistant sapphire crystal with anti-glare coatings. There is a screw-down protected winding crown, and a rectangular push button at 10 o'clock on the left-side case band that activates the 24-hour GMT chapter ring, switching from one time zone to another. Each time it is pressed, the hour hand advances one hour while the city ring and 24-hour ring rotate counter-clockwise by one hour - equivalent to one time zone. Pressing the button 24 times will produce a trip around the world, with a return to the original departure time. The local time, indicated by the hour and minute hands, refers to the location on the city disk that lines up with 12 o'clock. There is a screw-down exhibition case back, and the 39.5mm diameter solid three-body case, curved lugs, and angled flat bezel engraved with "PATEK PHILIPPE – GENEVE," are polished/brushed. The dial is hand painted enamel cloisonné depicting Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia, which only two artists at Patek Philippe are qualified to produce. There is a steel ring-shaped hour hand and dagger minute hand, with a night/day delineated 24-hour chapter ring. Around the perimeter are the 24 cities and time zones on a silver reserve. It's water resistant to 25 meters/85 feet, and it has a 48-hour power reserve at full wind. The 10mm thick case, dial, and movement are all signed. This Patek Philippe World Time with Enamel Cloisonne Dial 5131G-010 has a mechanical automatic self-winding Patek Philippe 240 HU movement that's rhodium-plated, with fausses cotes embellishment. It's stamped with the Seal of Geneva quality mark, and 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 that oscillates at 21,600 vph (3 Hz). The Patek Philippe World Time with Enamel Cloisonne Dial 5131G-010 was introduced in 2006. The World Time system is based on master horologist Louis Cottier’s 1930’s mechanism for exhibiting every time zone on the planet.
