Inspired by the legendary Patek Philippe World Time watches from the mid-20th century, such as ref. 605, the design of reference 5110 echoes masterpieces of the past combined with modern watchmaking technology. The reference 5110 was launched in the year 2000 and was the first wristwatch with world time complications offered by Patek Philippe since 1965. Built with an ingenuous push button to adjust the time zone, the present wristwatch is able to display the time of 24 cities. Available in four case materials, the present lot is a very nice specimen made in solid white gold. Preserved in remarkable conditions, it features a central silvered guilloché dial, a middle ring with the 24-hour indication and division for the date/night and outer ring with the international city names giving it a dynamic and modern look with applied baton indexes. With a strong and continuously growing popularity, reference 5110 was produced until 2006 and later replaced by reference 5130. Crafted out of 18K white-gold case, the present wristwatch can be considered as a must-have for Patek Philippe collectors and is also sold with its box, booklets and original warranty.
