The PIC attempted to recycle the landing gear; but the outcome remained the same--the left gear down indication stayed illuminated even after the gear was retracted.The PIC; in coordination with operations; elected to divert to ZZZ. Upon arrival; the ZZZ Tower reported that all landing gear appeared up during the traffic pattern. The PIC followed the QRH procedure and performed a landing gear extension. While flying the traffic pattern; ATC decided to provide priority handling for us and notified PIC. The PIC also confirmed that the gear warning did not sound and that the red gear-in-transition indicator remained extinguished.The aircraft touched down and completed the ground roll with no indication of an unlocked gear or any other abnormality.Cause: Maintenance issue
