Pre-Owned Patek Philippe Complications Ref. 5231G

Explore the pre-owned Patek Philippe Complications Ref. 5231G, a World Time Rare Handcrafts watch introduced at Watches & Wonders 2022 and still in production. Its 38.5 mm white-gold case frames a Grand Feu cloisonné enamel map centered on Oceania and Southeast Asia, accented by four gold spangles. Around the enamel center, a city disk identifies 24 world locations, while the 24-hour ring provides day and night indication. The self-winding caliber 240 HU measures 3.88 mm thick and uses a 22K-gold off-center minirotor, 33 jewels, and a stated minimum power reserve of 48 hours. Pressing the case-band pusher at 10 o'clock advances local time by one hour and moves the city disk and 24-hour ring together, allowing time-zone changes without disturbing the minutes. Compared with the preceding 5131 generation, the 5231 has a slightly flatter bezel, places the Patek Philippe signature on the dial, and uses sharper angular lugs inspired by the vintage double-crown Ref. 2523. Christie's has reported that only two or three of the most accomplished enamel artists can make these dials, with estimated combined annual production of approximately 30 to 40 examples. Every watch offered by The 1916 Company is authenticated and backed by The 1916 Company's 2-year warranty.
