Stepping up in Patek Philippe's range
The ladies' World Time line dates to 2011, but this reference arrived in 2022 wearing an olive green that gave the collection a new character entirely. The dial's centre is hand-guilloché in a basketweave pattern — a technique that takes longer to execute than most movements take to assemble — and the fixed bezel carries 62 diamonds, with a further 27 set into the buckle itself. It is a considered piece of jewellery that also happens to solve a serious horological problem. The movement is the 240 HU, built around Patek's off-centre 22-carat gold micro-rotor, which keeps the architecture under 9mm and lets the watch sit flush against the wrist in a way that heavier complications cannot manage. The world-time display reads all 24 city zones simultaneously, and a single push at ten o'clock advances every element together without touching the running accuracy — a patented mechanism Patek introduced in 1999 and has refined since. The matching olive calfskin strap, hand-stitched with cream thread, completes the continuity between case and dial rather than interrupting it.

Learn more about Patek Philippe
Antoine Norbert de Patek, a Polish cavalry officer exiled after the November Uprising, founded a watch business in Geneva in 1839 with his countryman François Czapek. The partnership dissolved after six years, and in 1845 Patek took on the French watchmaker Adrien Philippe, inventor of the keyless winding crown. The firm became Patek Philippe in 1851.
That single invention mattered more than any other in the company's early history: it removed the winding key, and every modern watch descends from it. Queen Victoria bought a Patek pendant watch at the Great Exhibition the same year, establishing the royal patronage the house has traded on ever since.
The Stern family, dial manufacturers and long-standing suppliers, bought the company in 1932 during the Depression. Four generations later it remains in their hands — the last independent family-owned manufacture in Geneva, currently led by Thierry Stern.
Patek's reputation rests on complications: the Calibre 89 of 1989 carried thirty-three of them, and the Grandmaster Chime remains among the most complicated wristwatches made. The Nautilus, drawn by Gérald Genta in 1976 as a steel luxury sports watch, became an unlikely commercial phenomenon four decades after launch.
Production stays deliberately modest, in the tens of thousands annually, and every watch carries the Patek Philippe Seal, an in-house standard the company adopted in 2009 after abandoning the Geneva Seal as insufficiently strict.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 48 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 36mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
