Patek Philippe 5575G 175th Anniversary World Time Moonphase 18K White Gold Black Dial

Introduced in 2014 to commemorate Patek Philippe’s 175th anniversary, the reference 5575G‑001 World Time Moonphase in 18K white gold is a compelling blend of technical mastery and poetic expression. Limited to just 1,300 pieces, this model reinterprets the maison’s iconic Louis‑Cottier world time mechanism by integrating a centrally mounted, photorealistic moonphase display—an unprecedented design for Patek Philippe’s world timers. Powered by the ultra‑thin self‑winding Caliber 240 HU LU with a 22K micro‑rotor and a 48‑hour power reserve, it delivers both refined aesthetics and horological substance. The 39.8 mm case, measuring under 10 mm thick, features sculptural lyre‑style lugs and a solid caseback engraved “175e Anniversaire 1839–2014,” underscoring its celebratory provenance. The black multi‑layered dial, with a 24‑hour ring and city disc replacing Paris with Geneva, offers exceptional legibility and collector appeal. Finished on a black alligator leather strap with a white gold deployant clasp, this watch is both elegant and discreetly complex. As a milestone piece that marries heritage complication with artistic innovation, the 5575G‑001 remains a highly sought‑after collector’s treasure. Unworn with Patek Philippe box, travel sleeve, 175th Anniversary Plaque, and papers dated 2016.
