PATEK PHILIPPE 5110J “WORLD HOURS” YELLOW GOLD

The “World Hours” model is closely associated with Patek Philippe and is one of the house's signature complications. Based on the elegant solution of the famous watchmaker Louis Cottier (1894-1996), Patek launched the reference 1415 in 1939, their first world time (Heures Universelles) wristwatch.
Since 1965 and therefore for more than 35 years, the complication had disappeared from the maison's offering. So, in 2000, Patek Philippe decided to bring the much-loved World Time complication back to life by returning to offer collectors a wide range of refined World Time wristwatches.
Introduced in 2000, the Patek Philippe ref. 5110 was the first mass-produced world time reference, and also the first after the legendary ref. 2523. It has brought a visible evolution compared to the ref. 2523 using a pusher at 10 o'clock to set the local city in place of the famous second crown. It also made the switch from a hand-wound movement to an automatic one.

The following Patek Philippe reference 5110J second hand watch has the following characteristics:

Yellow gold case and adjustable PP clasp
“World Time” Complication
Black alligator strap
