The Patek brand has become closely associated with the world timer, even though they did not invent it. The 5330G features a polished white gold case measuring 40×11.57mm, giving it a vintage-inspired look with stepped lugs. The dial is a blue-gray opaline with a carbon pattern, and the date is indicated by a red-colored glass pointer.
Beneath the surface, the 5330G houses the Patek caliber 240 HU C movement, which was introduced in a limited edition for the Tokyo exhibition. This movement includes a world time function with a 24-hour day/night indication for each time zone. What sets it apart is its ability to set the date according to local (12-hour) movement time.
With a retail price of $76,594, the 5330G offers a unique and innovative take on the traditional world timer, making it a standout piece in Patek’s collection.
