Introduction
Famed as the proverbial kings of the world time complication thanks to their long and storied involvement with the complication, it is no surprise that Patek Philippe’s latest edition of their World Time collection is as highly revered as it is. Luxuriously constructed using 18k rose gold, the ref. 5230R is a beautiful amalgamation of style and substance. Powered by the immaculately finished cal. 240 HU automatic micro-rotor movement, the ref. 5230R’s ability to display the time in 24 cities across the globe is easily exercised via the pusher at 10 o’clock on its rose gold case. Displaying the 24 city names in the white peripheral section on its dial, the ref. 5230R exhibits Patek’s incredible craftsmanship via its hand-engraved grey center, elegant lugs, and beautifully constructed case design. With an entirely polished surface, the warm rose gold case shines beautifully in the light and provides a wonderful contrast to the tonal hue of its grey and white dial.
