With the advent of the industrial age came global trade and world travel and, as a direct result, there was a need for timekeeping devices capable of tracking time in multiple locations. The world time complication, other than being a utilitarian invention, is also a fascinating window into history when studying its evolution. With the rise and fall of nations, one featured capital on a watch’s bezel or dial replaced another as reference city for a specific time zone. Fifty years passed between the first serially-produced world-time wristwatch produced by Patek Philippe, the vaunted reference 2523, and the next iteration, the reference 5110 released in 2000. Available in every metal except for steel, it combines the gentle curves and bold elegance of the classic Calatrava case with Louis Cottier’s ingenious world time invention, as well as a beautiful guilloche center disc. An absolute classic, it boasts a 24-hour dial divided into daylight and nighttime hours, with the names of cities and islands in each time zone around the edge of the dial. A pusher on the top left side of the case advances the location disc, allowing the wearer to set a “home” time zone while simultaneously viewing the time in any of the other cities. In beautiful original condition, having only been worn a handful of times, the present reference 5110 in white gold exudes a subtle charm and sophistication for the globetrotting connoisseur.Read MoreMaker BiographyPatek PhilippeSwiss • 1839 Follow Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications.
