Catalogue Essay
Whether in the form of worldtimers or dual time models, Patek Philippe’s history and expertise in watches aiming the frequent traveler is unparalleled
The present reference 5134 is the proud heir to Patek Philippe’s iconic reference 2597 launched in 1958, a watch with an ingenious system based on a design by Louis Cottier. It was made in two versions; the first features an independently adjustable hour hand and the second version, launched in 1962, features an additional hour hand to indicate a second timezone.
This reference 5134 uses the patented Patek Philippe travel time system, where home time is indicated via a sand blasted silver hand coupled with a 24h indicator placed at 12 o’clock. The pushers on the case side make the hour hand go back or forward in one hour increments for the indication of local time.
The present lot in untouched condition, cased in platinum is part of a 40 piece limited edition made in 2004 in celebration of Gübelin’s 150th anniversary as evidenced by the prestigious retailer’s signature on the dial next to Patek Philippe’s.
During its recent history Patek Philippe has made special anniversary pieces for only a handful of its trusted retail partners. The present lot made for Gübelin, one of Switzerland’s oldest and most prestigious retailers founded in 1854, presents a superb opportunity to own such a rare and elegant timepiece.
