In fact, it was only in 1884, at the International Meridian Conference in Washington D.C., when diplomats agreed to adopt a single Prime Meridian (located in Greenwich, England). This made way for the standardization of global time zones. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast-forward to 1931, and Swiss watchmaker Louis Cottier unveils a complication capable of displaying the times of the 24 time zones. Cottier\u2019s world time mechanism cleverly used a rotating bezel inscribed with 24 major cities, each representing a different time zone. It wasn\u2019t long before Patek Philippe took interest in Cottier\u2019s world time complication. Thanks to Cottier\u2019s movements, in 1937, Patek Philippe introduced their first world time watches: the round, yellow gold ref. 1415\/1 HU (Heure Universelle) and the rectangular, pink gold ref. 515 HU.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27952\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27952\" style=\"width: 1440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27952 size-full\" title=\"Patek Philippe World Time ref. 5230G\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5274-Edit.jpeg\" alt=\"Patek Philippe World Time\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5274-Edit.jpeg 1440w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5274-Edit-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5274-Edit-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5274-Edit-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5274-Edit-570x380.jpeg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Both elegant and highly practical, the world time complication is capable of displaying the time in all 24 different time zones.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Modern Mechanics: Patek Philippe World Time 5230G<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patek Philippe introduced the World Time 5230 at Baselworld 2016 as a successor to the previous World Time ref. 5130. The case of the ref. 5230 measures <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">38.5mm in diameter and 10.23mm thick. Patek makes this Word Time watch in either 18k rose gold or 18k white gold; the ref.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5230G is the white gold version. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The size of the case (which is in fact 1mm smaller than the ref. 5130) is just right, and the lack of crown guards emphasizes the elegance of the watch. The design of the dial makes it super easy to read, despite all the city names around the periphery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the center of the dial is a gray hand-guilloch\u00e9d section, housing the applied white gold hour markers and center hands. Note the shape of the pierced hour hand, which adds an intriguing design touch to the watch. Following the gray center is the 24-hour disk, fittingly split into color-coded day hours (silver) and night hours (black).<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27949\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27949\" style=\"width: 1440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27949 size-full\" title=\"Patek Philippe World Time ref. 5230G\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5239-Edit.jpeg\" alt=\"Patek Philippe World Time\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5239-Edit.jpeg 1440w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5239-Edit-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5239-Edit-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5239-Edit-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5239-Edit-570x380.jpeg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27949\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The ref. 5230G is the 18k white gold version of Patek Philippe&#8217;s latest world time watch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Patek Philippe Caliber 240 HU<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To set the Patek World Time watch, first make sure that your corresponding city is positioned at the top of the dial. Switching through cities is just a matter of pushing the button on the side of the case at the 10 o\u2019clock location. When your city is in position, use the winding crown to turn the center hands to set the local time &#8211; while also making sure that the appropriate day or night numeral on the 24-hour disk is positioned right below your city at 12 o\u2019clock. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once local city and time are adjusted, reading all 24 time zones is a breeze. Plus, if you travel to another location, simply push the button at 10 o\u2019clock to change the city at 12 o\u2019clock accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27955\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27955\" style=\"width: 1440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27955 size-full\" title=\"Patek Philippe Caliber 240 HU\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5248-Edit.jpeg\" alt=\"Patek Philippe World Time\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5248-Edit.jpeg 1440w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5248-Edit-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5248-Edit-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5248-Edit-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Patek-Phillippe_5D3_5248-Edit-570x380.jpeg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Like other Patek Philippe movements, the hand-finishing on the Caliber 240 HU is carried out with expert precision.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flip the watch around and you\u2019ll spot the Patek Philippe Caliber 240 HU through the sapphire caseback.
