Hands-On: Patek Philippe World Time 5231J Watch
A seminal world timer updated for 2019, the Patek Philippe World Time Ref. 5231J is a horological work of art that is nearly impossible to get.The Patek Philippe World Time Ref. 5231J is new for 2019, sitting alongside the existing 5231 that comes in a platinum case with that matching platinum beads-of-rice bracelet that defines peak low-key decadence.

This is the same case you'll find on the 5230 world timers, which are a little more accessible, due to the fact that they have the less elaborate guilloche center dial rather than the enamel. The smaller 38.5mm-wide case is preferable, though, as it doesn't have the "Patek Philippe"text engraved on the bezel at 12 o'clock and "Geneve"at 6 o'clock. I just think contemporary tastes don't lean toward bezel engravings (or elaborately stylized fonts, for that matter).

When viewed from above, every surface from the rounded stepped bezel to the short hooked lugs is finished in a bright and dressy polish. From the case sides, however, the curving mid case and lug sides
