Patek Philippe's New Watch 2019 - 5231J-001 Gold

Patek Philippe's new watch this year - Ref. 5231J-001 gold. This watch, like the previous model 5131, draws a map of the world in the middle, but this year's World Time watch was made of gold.

In the 1930s and 1940s, transnational time zones were commonplace. Patek Philippe is the first watch brand to cross the field, and here we have to mention a very important figure in the watchmaking world - Louis Cottier Louis Cottier. Louis Curtier is an outstanding independent watchmaker, and the world time movement is from his hands. In 1931, he invented a movement that blended local time and 24 time zones around the world, opening up the history of world time watches.

So, replica Patek Philippe watches invited Louis Curtier to participate in the production of the world time watch, there will be later Patek Philippe Ref.96 and Ref.515. But both watches have a drawback, the bezel is fixed and cannot be rotated according to your needs.

To this end, in 1950, Louis Cortier produced another world-time watch with two crowns that can be used to adjust cities in different time zones. This watch inspired Patek Philippe's 1953 Ref.2523. Subsequently, Patek Philippe's world time watch continued to develop. The birth of Ref.5110 and Ref.5130 is the best proof.
