The Patek Philippe Caliber 240 HU is a self-winding mechanical movement that powers the Complication 5230. This ultra-thin movement, with a diameter of 27.5 mm and a height of 3.88 mm, is composed of 239 individual parts. The movement includes 33 jewels and features 8 bridges to ensure optimal performance and reliability. 
One of the main features of the Caliber 240 HU is its ability to track the time in all 24 time zones simultaneously, each with day/night indication. The watch is powered by a small off-centered rotor in 22-carat gold, providing a minimum power reserve of 48 hours. Since its launch, the Patek Philippe 5230 Complication has become a sought-after timepiece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The movement also features Patek Philippe’s patented Gyromax® balance wheel and Spiromax® hairspring, ensuring precise timekeeping and optimal shock resistance. The movement vibrates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz), which further contributes to its accuracy.
The Caliber 240 HU is finished to the highest craftsmanship standards and stamped with the Patek Philippe Seal to guarantee its exceptional quality and performance. In addition, the movement has been awarded two patents, one for its innovative mechanism for tracking multiple time zones, and the other for its precision and accuracy.
For watch collectors interested in owning a Patek Philippe watch, but unable or unwilling to pay the high price of certain models, the Patek Philippe 5230 Complications is a great opportunity. With its world-time function, elegant design and impeccable craftsmanship, the Complications 5230 is an outstanding timepiece. Compared to many other Patek Philippe models, it is more readily available for purchase at a price. While caution should always be exercised when purchasing a imitation watch in the gray market, the Complications 5230 is a watch for collectors looking for an exceptional watch at a reasonable price.
