Lot Essay
Christie’s is delighted to offer to our international clients and collectors the stainless steel reference 5935A World Time Flyback Chronograph to be presented at auction. This full-set watch is, as expected from the amazing contemporary rarities of the Ultimate Collection, offered in exceptional condition.
Reference 5935A-001 has the distinction of being the first stainless steel version of an already legendary model - the self-winding World Time flyback chronograph. An unusual yet highly successful combination of complications, it was first introduced in 2016 as Reference 5930, and until the launch of the present model, it was only available cased in precious metal. The Patek Philippe World Time function simultaneously indicates the time in 24 time zones with corresponding day and night indications. A remarkable patented mechanism corrects all function displays with a single pusher at 10 o'clock. Vintage-inspired yet resolutely modern, the beautiful rose-gilt opaline dial is centered by a ‘carbon’ inspired pattern and seamlessly incorporates a 30-minute chronograph counter at 6 o’clock. With an impressive diameter of 41mm, the new Reference 5935A is slightly larger than its gold or platinum counterparts. It is fitted with a sapphire crystal case back to view and admire the exceptional finish of the movement which bears the PP seal of excellence.
