Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph is known, a one-of-a-kind piece crafted over 70 years ago. It is wristwatch No. 862,442 dated 1940 —part of the Patek Philippe Museum Inventory No. P996— featuring a dial with pulsometer and asthmometer scales, that probably belonged to a physician. The new Baselworld 2016 Patek Philippe ref. 5930 is the result of a long journey where the development of a chronograph faced the challenge of indicating all 24 time zones with a clean dial layout design - replica Patek Philippe World Time watches.
18K white gold case measuring 39.5 mm in diameter is exquisitely finished with satin-brushed strokes and highly polished areas in a symphony of contrasts and perfection. The World Time function is also very easy to use: The hour and minute hands indicate the time in the city and time zone whose name is shown at 12 o'clock. The time in the 23 other zones can be quickly and easily determined with the city disk and the two-colored 24-hour ring which instantly tells the user whether it is day or night in the respective city and time zone.
While the traditional Patek Philippe ref. 5230 World Time does not have a seconds hand, the new World Time Chronograph ref. 5930 had to be fitted with a long trotteuse hand and a 30-minute counter at 6 o'clock. Its blue opaline dial with hand-guilloché center and white gold applied hour markers with luminescent coating is simply the nicest blue dial we've ever seen. The texture on the guilloché pattern in the center of the dial is so nicely done and well texturized, that you can almost reach in and touch it as you stare at the watch in awe.
New automatic Patek Philippe in-house movement calibre CH 28-520 HU. The movement is based of the automatic CH 28-520 PS chronograph caliber with column-wheel control and a vertical clutch as well as the proven World Time module based on a concept developed by Genevan watchmaker Louis Cottier in the 1930s. For this particular movement, the chronograph movement and the World Time mechanism were enhanced with extensive modifications. Axes were shifted, bridges thinned and newly designed, and component clearances changed such that the caliber CH 28-520 HU can legitimately be called a new movement.
