Launched by Patek Philippe in 2024 as a regular production watch succeeding the limited edition purple dial World Time created for the Tokyo Watch Art Grand Exhibition of 2023, reference 5330G-001 represents the latest addition to the Maison's long tradition of World Time watches. The watch features Patek Philippe's new caliber 240 HU C, which now integrates a date function tied to the local time - a world first. Impressively, the date is indicated by a nearly invisible glass hand with a red tip at the periphery of the dial. This ingenious design allows the watch to remain both concise and legible.
Further enhancing its appeal, Patek Philippe has chosen a striking light blue checkerboard guilloché dial. To complement this refined aesthetic, the watch is paired with an exclusive hand-stitched denim-pattern strap, reserved for only a select few models. While sporty and modern, the brand continues to pay homage to its heritage, as evidenced by the lug design reminiscent of early Calatrava models such as reference 2481.
