Patek Philippe

Patek Philippe is renowned for many things, whether it's the quality of its finishes, its chronographs, or its many collections such as the Ellipse, the Calatrava, the Nautilus, and more.

But Patek Philippe is also synonymous with the art of creating absolutely perfect Heure Universelle watches. Watchmakers are sometimes assisted by artisans to decorate the dials, using techniques such as enamel work. Their world time watches are considered the ultimate luxury travel watches.

Often decorated with guilloché engraving or enamel at the center, the eye is immediately drawn to the many details: the 24 cities around the dial, the central decoration, or the graceful shape of the case.

Among the grand complications, such as the minute repeater world time or chronograph world time, here we find the purest simplicity: the 5130P-001, a world timer with a beautiful sunburst guilloché center and an slim platinum case, reminiscent of the elegance of a Calatrava. This reference was launched in 2006.

The sapphire case back reveals the calibre 240 HU and its micro-rotor, which enables this slender profile. All these features contribute to the perfection of this watch. Equipped with a special ring-shaped hour hand, this model stands as the successor to the Ref. 5110 produced between 2000 and 2006.

A platinum piece with a sublime guilloché pattern at the center of its blue dial and perfect proportions; this is a truly elegant watch for the modern traveler and collector.
