World Time Minute Repeater 42mm
5531R
How it wears
Wears smaller than its 42 mm case suggests
Patek Philippe World Time Minute Repeater 42mm measures 47.35 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.13 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 55% of the 7,413 watches in this database and longer than 62% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 53 mm (2.09 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 64 mm (2.52 in) it starts to look compact. Below 47.35 mm (1.86 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
At 11.49 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 33% of the watches with a listed thickness.
