Introduced in the mid-2010s as an evolution of the classic World Time series, this reference features a refined 38.5mm rose gold case complemented by a lustrous silver guilloche dial—a nod to mid-century Patek tradition with updated city ring layouts reflecting global time zone changes. The ultra-slim automatic Caliber 240 HU powers simultaneous 24-city indication, showcasing the brand’s peerless micro-rotor engineering and attention to slim case profiles at just 10.23mm thick. With its hand-stitched brown alligator strap, the 5230R-001 emanates quiet sophistication, making it a connoisseur’s choice among complicated travel watches.
