Something for the retirement party
By Rafael Ortiz, Mexico City ·
Every pilot I know who loves watches dreams about a Patek World Time. The system is simple and beautiful: press the pusher at ten o'clock, the city ring and 24-hour ring jump, the hour hand jumps with them, and your new local city sits at twelve. It's the cleanest worldtimer display in watchmaking.
This 5230G is white gold, 38.5 mm by 10.23 mm, with a blue guilloché center and a leather strap. It's small and dressy. 30 meters of water resistance and 48 hours from the 240 HU.
At 60,000 to 63,000 dollars, it's not a travel watch, it's the watch you're given when you retire after thirty years of traveling. Which, honestly, is a perfect use for it.
