Patek Philippe Genève, "World Time Moon", Movement No. 5921405, Case No. 6083370, Ref. 5575G-001, Cal. 240 HU LU, 40 mm, circa 2015
An automatic Geneva wristwatch in near mint condition, with second time zone and large center moon phases - limited edition of 1300 watches in 18k white gold, produced to celebrate the 175th anniversary of Patek Philippe in 2014 and sold on September 16, 2015 - with original box and integrated watchwinder, Patek Philippe certificate, commemorative 175th anniversary medal and brochures
Case: 18k white gold, push back, PPC 18k white gold deployant clasp. Dial: black.
On occasion of the company’s 175th anniversary in 2014, Patek Philippe launched a new interpretation of their legendary "World Time" model and fitted it with a large, central moon phase display, featuring a photo-realistic image of the moon moving across the nocturnal, star-studded sky. The breathtaking effect is achieved by means of two extremely thin discs of mineral glass. The main disc with the moon completes a clockwise rotation once per lunar month. The upper part of that disc holds a second, kidney-shaped disc - its outline reveals the visible, changing section of the moon every night with extreme accuracy. To combine these two highly complicated functions - moon phase and world time - Patek Philippe developed a new version of their ultra-flat automatic movement: calibre 240 HU LU. It features a 22K gold micro-rotor and consists of 270 individual parts.
Reference 5575 was produced in a limited edition of only 1,300 pieces, all of them in white gold. It is one of the most popular timepieces on the market today and highly coveted by collectors all over the world.
