Patek Philippe · Family: World Time
The Patek Philippe World Time 5230G-014 is a 38.5mm watch in 18ct white gold, with a world-time function that displays all 24 of the planet's time zones simultaneously, and a grey lacquered central dial with a hand-guilloché finish depicting the Earth's surface as seen from space. It runs the automatic Caliber 240 HU, with roughly 48 hours of power reserve. Cazador has no verified price observations yet for this reference. Its differential: its city disc carries Beijing instead of Hong Kong, a specific dial variant within the 5230 World Time family.

The world-time complication is one of Patek Philippe's historical identity markers, originally developed by watchmaker Louis Cottier in the 1930s and adopted by the Geneva manufacture across several generations of references since. The mechanism allows simultaneous reading of the time in the planet's main time zones via a rotating 24-city disc synchronized with a 24-hour ring.
Reference 5230 was introduced at Baselworld 2016, in rose and white gold executions, as the successor to the 5130 within the Complications collection. It keeps Patek Philippe's classic world-time architecture: a pusher next to the 10 o'clock lug advances the local hour hand and the city disc simultaneously, without affecting the minutes or seconds.
This particular variant, 5230G-014, stands out within the family for its grey lacquered central dial with a hand-guilloché finish evoking the Earth's surface as seen from space, and for its 24-city disc, which in this execution includes Beijing instead of Hong Kong — a dial variation Patek Philippe has introduced at different points in reference 5230's commercial life.
Beneath the dial sits the automatic Caliber 240 HU, an ultra-thin in-house movement with an integrated world-time module, delivering roughly 48 hours of power reserve. The transparent sapphire case back allows a view of the caliber's finishing, including the 21ct gold oscillating weight characteristic of the 240 caliber family.
This is the sixth Patek Philippe reference Cazador adds, alongside the Nautilus, Aquanaut, Calatrava, and Complications families already in the catalog, extending coverage to the world-time function.
