Baselworld 2016 – luxury watches highlights

Patek Philippe – World Time Chronograph Ref. 5930

The elements of the new mechanical CH 28-520 HU movement are the self-winding CH 28-520 PS chronograph calibre with column-wheel control and a vertical clutch as well as the proven World Time module based on a concept developed by Genevan watchmaker Louis Cottier in the 1930s which Patek Philippe further optimized with two important refinements patented in 1959 and 1999.

The chronograph movement and the World Time mechanism were enhanced with extensive modifications. To save millimetres, axes were shifted, bridges thinned and newly designed, and component clearances changed such that the calibre CH 28-520 HU can be properly be considered a new movement.
