About the Watch

Renowned for their Complications and Grand Complications, Patek Philippe is a master of Haute Horlogerie, often regarded as the pinnacle of watchmaking excellence. Originally designed to fulfill practical and professional needs, their groundbreaking complications have become timeless icons. In the 1930s, Patek Philippe introduced the first World Timer wristwatch, capable of displaying the time across 24 time zones on a single dial. Over 80 years later, the "Heure Universelle" line remains a collector’s dream, with rare vintage pieces fetching $2–3 million at auctions, underscoring their legendary status.

The latest model marks a milestone as the first modern Patek Philippe World Timer with a chronograph function. Inspired by the unique 1940 reference 1415 HU, it is powered by the new CH 28-520 HU caliber, offering a ±55-hour power reserve and combining a world-time display with a flyback chronograph. Housed in a 39.5mm white gold case, the watch features a striking blue dial packed with functionality: 24 time zones on the outer ring, a day/night indicator, and a 30-minute counter at 6 o’clock.

This model is still double factory sealed, with a Certificate of Origin, Wooden presentation box, Leather envelope with product literature and Outer packaging.
