How do I bid? Start here
Introduction
Launched in 2022, the World Time Chronograph Complications ref. 5935A boasts two design tenets that Patek Philippe collectors cherish the most, especially when in Patek’s more complicated offerings; a salmon-colored dial, and a stainless steel construction. Combining two of horology’s most impressive complications, the world time, which is inextricably linked to Patek’s heritage, and a flyback chronograph, the ref. 5935A epitomizes Patek Philippe’s impressive horological roots. Boasting a "rose gilt opaline" dial, as Patek calls it, the ref. 5935A’s salmon dial features a set of charcoal grey 18kt gold hour markers, a "carbon motif" decoration in its center and a series of concentrically-brushed rings along its periphery that house the city names and hours to power its world time function, the ref. 5935A's dial is just immaculate. Patek’s first world-time model to be made of stainless steel, the ref. 5935A is quite a historical piece for the Genevan Giants, especially considering how important the world time complication is to their identity. Powered by the automatic cal. CH 28‑520 HU movement which is on display behind an exhibition caseback inside of its 41mm stainless steel case, the ref. 5935A presents plenty of wrist presence, while also retaining a rather elegant and luxurious air to its impeccably crafted construction.

THE DIAL
Sporting every Patek collector's favorite dial color, the ref. 5935A boasts a 'rose gilt opaline' dial with a beautiful carbon motif in its center and charcoal grey 18kt gold dial furniture that perfectly matches the two-tone grey rings that encircle the model's decorated center and its grey chronograph subdial.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Made of stainless steel, the 41mm ref. 5935A was the very first stainless steel world time that Patek ever made. However, with its flyback chronograph function Patek took things to another level entirely.
