Why We Love it
–In the 1950s, the advent (and immediacy) of jet travel — and the frequency at which transatlantic and transcontinental flights occurred — made it necessary for travelers to have a wristwatch that could display two time zones at once.
The Patek Philippe reference 5110R-001 is a modern reimagining of just such a watch. Rendered here in shining rose gold, it features a classical complication executed in stunning fidelity given its large, 39.5mm case size: On the dial, an inner white guilloché sector houses applied, polished rose gold hour indices, just beyond which sits a bi-color, blue (night) and silver (day) 24-hour ring. Beyond this adjustable ring is a silvered city ring — a feature familiar to devotees of classic world time complications. Using this 24-city outer ring and the inner rotating 24-hour ring — all of which is controlled by the 10 o’clock pusher — the wearer can track the time around the world from his or her present location.
This 5110R-001’s rose gold case is in great condition, showing light wear from age and use. Via its sapphire case back, it’s possible to view the incredible workmanship in the in-house Patek Philippe Calibre 240 HU automatic movement. Included is a signed, black alligator leather strap with a signed, 18K rose gold deployant clasp, plus the watch’s leather sleeve; bbooks; an extract from the archives; service papers from 2012 and 2021; a service sticker; and a hangtag.
There’s a traveler’s watch, and then there’s a traveler’s watch — this is the latter.
