World Time Yellow Cloisonné Enamel Dial 38mm

The Patek Philippe World Time ref. 5231J-001 is a masterful expression of the brand’s artistry and technical innovation, uniting haute horlogerie with the delicate craftsmanship of cloisonné enamel. Crafted in 18ct yellow gold, the 38.5mm case features polished surfaces, winglet-style lugs, and a narrow bezel—hallmarks of Patek Philippe’s refined aesthetic in world time design.
At the center of the dial lies a breathtaking cloisonné enamel map, depicting the continents of Europe, Africa, and the Americas in rich tones of blue, green, and gold. Surrounding this artwork are the city and 24-hour rings, enabling the simultaneous display of time across all major world time zones. The names of global cities are rendered in crisp black, with local time indicated at 12 o’clock.
Powered by the self-winding Calibre 240 HU, the watch features a micro-rotor architecture that maintains a remarkably slim profile while delivering a 48-hour power reserve. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the beautifully finished movement, complete with Geneva striping and perlage.
The 5231J-001 is completed with a brown alligator leather strap and an 18ct yellow gold fold-over clasp. Celebrated for its fusion of mechanical ingenuity and artistic craftsmanship, this reference stands as one of the most exquisite executions of Patek Philippe’s legendary World Time complication—a true collector’s masterpiece that embodies global sophistication.
