The Patek Philippe 5330G World Time Date
Please welcome a date indication everyone is bound to love... for once!
The new 5330G has a fully polished white gold case, 40mm in diameter and 11.57mm thick, with a contemporary silhouette, accentuated by the long, curved and stepped lugs that provide a pleasant and comfortable feeling with the watch on the wrist
The 5330G’s blue-grey dial perfectly complements the denim-patterned strap, and it’s precisely this blend of hues and textures that positions the new World Time Date as a timepiece tailored for a younger generation with discerning tastes and means seeking a casual yet refined watch. An identical colour scheme is also found in the Aquanaut and Nautilus models of 2024.

The added date indication brings a fresh organizational layout to the dial, delineated into four sections. The first is the sloped silvery date ring along the periphery, followed by the city ring featuring a red dot between Auckland and Midway to denote the crucial date-change line.
Next, the 24-hour ring provides clear day and night designation. Finally, the main dial at the centre exhibits a carbon or woven pattern, housing local time indicators comprising short and faceted Dauphine-type luminous central hands and white-gold baton-style applied indices.
The World Time Date 5330G is driven by the self-winding Patek Philippe Caliber 240 HU C, comprising 306 meticulously crafted components and operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations/hour. Its power reserve is specified to last between 38 to 48 hours.
As noted, the new World Time Date 5330G has a blue-grey calfskin strap featuring a denim pattern and white-coloured stitching. Together with the dial’s hues, this choice of strap tones down the typically aristocratic and exclusive allure often associated with such timepieces.
