Patek Philippe Complications 5230G | 18k White Gold | Grey Dial

A Legacy of World Time Mastery

Patek Philippe’s world‑time models represent a chapter of horological genius that dates to the Louis Cottier system — a complication the Maison not only embraced but elevated into an icon of travel and diplomacy. The 5230G is a contemporary expression of that legacy: a 38.5 mm white‑gold statement whose primary purpose is singular and noble — to present the world at a glance.

The Hallmarks of a Patek Philippe Signature

• Reference Number: 5230G
• The Signature Complication: World Time — central time display with a 24‑hour ring and surrounding city disk to indicate the time in all 24 standard zones at a single glance.
• The Calibre’s Lineage: Automatic calibre 240 HU — the ultra‑thin micro‑rotor family that has powered Patek’s world timers with refined efficiency and quiet elegance.
• Case Material and Diameter: 18k white gold, 38.5 mm
• Dial Style: Grey dial with a legible city ring and 24‑hour disc, finely finished centre for luminous contrast and immediate clarity.
• Bracelet / Strap: Leather
• The Patek Philippe Seal: Yes — the guarantee of meticulous finishing, reliability, and regulation.

The Curator’s Insight:
Owning a Patek world timer is to possess a miniature atlas whose mechanical logic is deceptively simple — the true artistry lies in harmonising a complex geartrain with peerless legibility and the refined thinness of the calibre 240 lineage.
