Catalogue Essay
World time watches were invented, as is the case with most innovations, out of necessity. 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 time zones. 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 the reference city for a specific time zone.
Patek Philippe’s reference 5230G, New York Edition, was a celebration of both the brand’s long, prestigious history, and their landmark, 2017 exhibition held in New York City, titled “Patek Philippe -The Art of Watches Grand Exhibition.” A comprehensive 10-day event featuring over 450 curated timepieces from the Patek Philippe Museum, it was the largest watch-related exhibition ever held in the United States. Accordingly, Patek Philippe issued nine limited edition timepieces, including the present reference 5320G - a stunning world-time wristwatch featuring a metallic, Art Deco relief of the Manhattan skyline on the dial.
The present watch is complete and preserved in outstanding condition. Produced in just 300 examples, this ref. 5230G presents a rare opportunity to own this modern synthesis of Patek Philippe’s historical past and technical mastery.

Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499.

Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
