This Gubelin limited edition Travel Time watch was made to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Gubelin, and was finely crafted of solid 18k yellow gold. This stunning watch is brand new, and has never been worn. This ultra rare wrist watch features: solid 18k yellow gold 38mm case with large crown and push buttons, see through sapphire exhibition case back, Swiss handmade manual wind caliber 215 PS FUS 24H movement with two time zones, rare chocolate brown dial with yellow gold hands and index hour markers, scratch resistant sapphire crystal and chocolate brown alligator band with fold-over Calatrava cross buckle. The watch is as beautiful as it us useful, and also features: small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock, 24-hour sub-dial at 12 o'clock and second time zone displayed by skeleton hour hand, and to complete the travelling/home time system, there are two buttons on the case side for moving the gold local time hour hand forward or back in one-hour increments. This rare wristwatch is truly a collector's dream in this original condition, and is one of only 50 ever made. Patek Philippe upholds a tradition in complications (anything a mechanical watch might do beyond telling the time and simple date) that are useful in everyday situations, such as Annual Calendars, dual time zones and World Time displays. They have an unrivalled expertise in knowledge and practice of this pinnacle of the watchmaker's art, as is displayed in the construction of this magnificent piece. The watch will come housed in the original Patek Philippe box with booklets.
