Best known for their Complication and Grand Complications watches Patek Philippe masters the “Haute Horlogerie” and are arguably the best in the industry.
Conceived to meet existential or professional requests, these breakthrough complications live on.
In the 1930s the first World Timer saw the light, a wristwatch indicating the time for 24 time zones on a single dial.
Evolution of an emblematic model,
the line of Worldtimers also known as “Heure Universelle” exists since over 80 years, extremely coveted by collectors who in recent auctions pay up to 2-3 million $ for a rare vintage piece, that sets the tone very high.
After an absence of over 35 years from the catalogues, the reference 5110 was released in 2000 and was available for 6 years, made in yellow gold 5110J, white gold 5110G and with a blue centre dial in platinum 5110P.
In 2006, the brand released the very popular and elegant 5130 model in a 39.5mm case, 2.5mm bigger than the older sibling, it had a 10 years long lifespan, they produced that version in rose, yellow and white gold, the platinum was blessed with a few stunning limited editions pieces, to name some; 1) Dubai edition 5130p-014, 2) Mecca edition 5130p-015, 3) Edinburgh edition 5130p-029, 4) Beirut edition 5130r-027 and the very coveted cloisonné enamel dial versions, the rare references 5131 that saw many long waiting lists for all metals, as of early 2019 only the 5131/1p full platinum bracelet version is being produced with the North Pole enamel dial.
A decade later, in 2016, the iconic 5130 reference is replaced with a new reference 5230G, redesigned case, hands and guilloched dial.
The Patek Philippe Complications Annual Calendar Ref. 5146G-010 is a sophisticated timepiece that exemplifies the brand’s mastery of both technical innovation and timeless design. Introduced in 2005, this model builds on Patek Philippe’s pioneering legacy as the first watchmaker to debut an annual calendar complication in 1996. The 5146G-010 offers a harmonious blend of functionality, elegance, and impeccable craftsmanship.
Housed in a 39mm white gold case, the watch features a multilevel bezel that enhances its refined proportions. The slate gray dial is adorned with polished white gold hour markers and hands, coated with luminous material for enhanced legibility. The layout is thoughtfully designed, with a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, a moon-phase display at 6 o’clock, and two subdials for the day and month. A date window at 6 o’clock ensures easy readability, while the overall design maintains a classic and understated aesthetic.
The watch is powered by the automatic Caliber 324 S IRM QA LU, a movement renowned for its precision and reliability. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, it features a fine regulating system with poising weights and offers a 48-hour power reserve. The movement is beautifully finished with beveled and polished edges, côtes de Genève, and a 21k gold rotor, all visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.
The annual calendar complication, which requires adjustment only once a year in February, is set using four pushers on the case sides. The caseback, also crafted from sapphire crystal, provides a clear view of the meticulously decorated movement.
Water-resistant to 30 meters and paired with a luxurious alligator leather strap, the Patek Philippe Ref. 5146G-010 is a timeless expression of horological excellence, combining practicality with the brand’s signature elegance. A true collector’s piece, it embodies the enduring legacy of Patek Philippe.
