Patek Philippe Complications World Time 37mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 37 mm case suggests

Patek Philippe Complications World Time 37mm measures 46.3 mm lug-to-lug on a 37 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.25 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 58% of the 8,010 watches in this database and shorter than 58% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 52 mm (2.05 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 62 mm (2.44 in) it starts to look compact. Below 46.3 mm (1.82 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
