Details
Description
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 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.
Condition Report
The watch is in very good overall condition with minor surface wear commensurate with age. The movement is running at the time of cataloging, however, it was not tested for the accuracy of time or duration of the power reserve and may need service at the buyer's discretion. Please note that Sotheby's does not guarantee the future working of the movement.
Please be advised that bands made of materials derived from endangered or otherwise protected species (i.e. alligator and crocodile) cannot be shipped outside the country of sale. If these watches are purchased outside of Hong Kong, we will replace with calf leather bands prior to shipping.
Please note that this item is final sale and not eligible for return.
