EDITOR'S PICK

The Japanese are the original quiet luxury fans, and Tatler loves how Patek Philippe's limited-edition World Time Reference 5330G-010 Tokyo 2023 fuses innovative watchmaking with Japanese flair, breaking new ground with an automatic date display that adjusts itself backwards or forwards when the wearer switches time zones. The patented differential system turns the date hand forwards when the outer train moves and backwards when the inner train moves. The plum purple dial and midnight blue strap with contrasting plum stitching pay tribute to Japan's paired-back yet elevated aesthetic sensibilities.
