Haute Complication: Patek Philippe 5231J World Time

The World Time watch holds a very special position in both the history of Patek Philippe, as well as in their current collection This year Patek Philippe launched an addition to their collection of World Time watches with the 5231J With a case made of yellow gold and fitted with an alligator strap in shiny chocolate brown, is the 5231J the most classic embodiment of the World Time watch currently available.

The 5231J is powered by caliber 240 HU, which is one of the nicest micro-rotor movements currently available The rotor itself is crafted from 22K yellow gold and decorated with Geneva stripping as well as the Patek Philippe logo So is it equipped with a Gyromax® balance fitted with a Spiromax® balance spring, both developped by Patek Philippe for increased precision.

With all these aspects combined is the 5231J a very tempting proposition, as it brings to the table one of the complications with which Patek Philippe made its name While current trends seem to emphasize pink and white gold, does this watch shows the timeless beauty of yellow gold, making the 5231J an instant classic. .
