Inspired by the legendary Patek Philippe World Time watches from the 1950s, such as Ref. 2523, the design of Ref. 5110 echoes masterpieces of the past combined with the technology of today.

Introduced in 2000, Ref. 5110 is the result of a revolutionary synchronization principle. This new patented mechanism allows for the single push button to control the adjustment of the 24 hour ring, city ring and current local time. The complexities of this mechanism make reading and operating the World Time wrisꦐtwatch remarkably easy.

This model was discontinued in 2006.
