With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated April 2012, product literature, instruction manual, sales tag, leather porfolio, leather wallet, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
Offering the observer the current hour in 24 locations around the world, this multiple time zone wristwatch has a movement in which the World Time mechanism with both the city and 24-hour rings are isolated from the going train of the watch. This means that neither the accuracy of the movement (calibre 240 HU) nor the advancement of the minute hand are compromised when the mechanism is switched from one time zone to another.
A modern world time wristwatch, its mechanism harks back to the 1930s when talented Geneva watchmaker Louis Cottier devised it and offered his invention to Patek Philippe. Cottier's ingenuity resulted in the company's now classic references 1415 HU and 2523. In 1959, Patek Philippe obtained a patent for Cottier's device (Swiss Patent No. 340 191). The company further developed the movement, introducing calibre 240 HU in 1999.
The complicated mechanism is combined with a beautiful cloisonné enamel dial. As the art of making such dials is highly complex and requires great skill from dedicated artisans, the numbers produced are limited.
