Catalogue Essay
Whether it is a World Time or a dual-time wristwatch, Patek Philippe has always excelled in making timepieces that tick all the boxes for seasoned highflyers. The ref. 5134G is a proud descendant of the iconic ref. 2597, a watch launched in 1958 and was ultimately inspired by Louis Cottier’s ingenious design.
The contemporary Calatrava Travel Time ref. 5134 enjoyed a successful production run from 2001 to 2008, marking a notable chapter in Patek Philippe’s legacy of elegant functionality. On its two-tone silvered dial, the present ref. 5134 displays home time via a skeletonised hand, complemented by a 24-hour indicator positioned at 12 o’clock. The vertical alignment of these elements is visually harmonious, enhancing both legibility and aesthetic appeal. Fusing form with function, the pushers located at 8 and 10 o’clock on the caseband enable effortless adjustment of the local time, which allows the wearer to move forwards or backwards with a simple click. This intuitive mechanism underscores Patek Philippe’s dedication to user-friendly complications. Notably, the ref. 5134 is among the few Patek Philippe models to feature a crown guard, which balances the pushers on the opposite side and adds a subtle touch of sportiness to its otherwise classic silhouette.
Presented in excellent overall condition and delivered with a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives, this fresh-to-the market 18K white gold Calatrava Travel Time offers a fantastic opportunity for collectors to own such a rare and elegant timepiece.
