The white gold execution of Patek Philippe's modern world timer, introduced at Baselworld 2016 as the successor to the 5130 and carrying the Louis Cottier double-disc mechanism the house has used since 1939. Its dial returned to a fine guilloché center, and Patek released a New York limited edition of 300 pieces the following year with the Lower Manhattan skyline engraved at its center for the Art of Watches exhibition.

How do I check a Patek Philippe 5230G with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
