Patek Philippe 5230G-013 Manama Bahrain World Time 2017

Description

The Patek Philippe World Time 5230G-013 “Manama Bahrain Edition” is an exceptionally rare and highly collectible expression of haute horlogerie, created exclusively for discerning collectors. Limited to just 25 pieces worldwide, this special Manama Edition stands among the most coveted modern World Time references produced by Patek Philippe.

Crafted in 18k white gold, the elegant 38.5mm case features refined proportions and the distinctive winglet-style lugs introduced with the 5230 generation. The centerpiece is its striking hand-guillochéd red dial, a bold and dramatic departure from traditional World Time aesthetics. The dial displays the time across 24 global time zones simultaneously, complemented by an intuitive day/night indicator, allowing effortless tracking of world time at a glance.

At its heart is Patek Philippe’s legendary automatic microrotor Caliber 240-HU, a movement celebrated for its thin profile, technical sophistication, and impeccable finishing. This caliber continues Patek Philippe’s World Time legacy dating back to the 1930s, when the maison pioneered wristwatches capable of displaying multiple time zones on a single dial.

The 5230G Manama Edition represents the evolution of more than 80 years of World Time history, following iconic predecessors such as the 5110 and 5130, as well as ultra-rare regional editions that have achieved legendary status at auction. With its ultra-low production, regional exclusivity, and bold aesthetic identity, this reference is firmly positioned as a future cornerstone collectible.

Offered brand new (2017), the Patek Philippe 5230G-013 Manama Bahrain Edition is not simply a watch—it is a statement of cultural significance, horological mastery, and extreme rarity. For collectors seeking one of the most exclusive modern World Time watches ever produced, this reference represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
