Specially crafted in a limited edition, the reference 5575G, along with several other models, was created to celebrate Patek Philippe's 175th anniversary in 2014. To enhance the uniqueness of this iconic World Time watch, an innovative moon-phase display was incorporated, bringing this poetic complication to life in a distinctive manner.

The new calibre 240 HU LU was specifically designed to seamlessly integrate the world's 24 time zones with the lunar cycle. In a nod to Patek Philippe's rich heritage, Central European Time is signified by the city of Geneva instead of the usual Paris, as seen in typical world timepieces. While the design of the round Calatrava case doesn't dramatically depart from earlier models, it lacks crown guards, resulting in a smooth line from lug to lug, which contrasts with its intricately detailed dial.
