The “World Hours” model is closely associated with Patek Philippe and is one of the house's signature complications. Based on the elegant solution of the famous watchmaker Louis Cottier (1894-1996), Patek launched the reference 1415 in 1939, their first world time (Heures Universelles) wristwatch.
From 1965 and therefore for more than 35 years, the complication had disappeared from the maison's offering. So, in 2000, Patek Philippe decided to bring the much-loved World Time complication back to life by returning to offer collectors a wide range of refined World Time wristwatches.
The present example, reference 7130G, comes with an 18K White Gold case embellished with Factory Diamonds and a dial with nuances from light blue to blue, making this splendid model extremely contemporary.
