Featuring 24 cities on a revolving chapter ring, one city to represent each time zone and easily adjusted via the 10 o’clock pusher, Patek Philippe’s world time wrist watches have long been a staple of the brand. Produced in limited quantities in the early to mid-20th century, during a collaboration with famed watchmaker Louis Cottier, the complication was revived in 2000 with the reference 5110, which ran until 2006 when it was succeeded. Due to the historical significance of the complication and its enduring presence in Patek Philippe’s catalog, world time wristwatches from the Geneva maison have truly earned their cult status and are a perfect companion to collectors who yearn for travel.
