Nearly a hundred years earlier, to meet the demands prompted by the establishment of railway time in the 1860s, watchmakers such as Hamilton and Elgin developed railroad pocket chronometers that included a third hand to indicate an additional timezone. This set the framework of what was to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1930s and 1940s, \u003cem\u003emanufactures\u003c\/em\u003e such as Vacheron Constantin and \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/pages\/vintage-and-pre-owned-patek-philippe-watches\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePatek Philippe\u003c\/a\u003e produced “world time” pocket watches using a special dial layout designed by Louis Cottier that showed the time across the globe’s different time zones simultaneously. 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 multiple time zones at once. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Patek Philippe Reference 7130-001 is a modern reimagining of just such a watch. Rendered here in 18K white gold, it features a 36mm case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, a \u003cem\u003estunning \u003c\/em\u003ediamond-set bezel, and a sapphire exhibition caseback framing the \u003cem\u003emaison’s\u003c\/em\u003e self-winding Calibre 240 HU micro-rotor movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial features a matching handset, applied indices, and a \u003cem\u003ecrema \u003c\/em\u003einner sector with a guilloché finish surrounded by a bi-color ring with silver denoting daytime and a contrasting dark brown tone signifying night. Working in tandem is a “world time” display with 24 individual city names adorned in white against a  brown canvas. These features function harmoniously with a push of a rectangular pusher positioned at 10 o’clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with a signed brown alligator leather strap with a signed 18K white gold deployant buckle, this piece is an accurate representation of the \u003cem\u003emaison's\u003c\/em\u003e ability to elevate a classic complication. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s a traveler’s watch, and then there’s a \u003cem\u003etraveler’s\u003c\/em\u003e watch — this 7130G is the latter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41191259701335,"sku":"40930480","price":33770.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS09971_40930480_PATEKPHILIPPE_WORLDTIME_7130G-001-7.jpg?v=1730505083","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/patek-philippe-world-time-ladies-as09971","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
