Catalogue Essay
With reference 5131, Patek Philippe resurrected the iconic line of cloisonné world time pieces - which originally appeared in the 1940s and are now considered amongst the masterpieces of the brand. Launched originally in yellow gold, it was produced in the three gold colors and in platinum. In 2021, the last scion of reference 5131 (the platinum version) was discontinued, officially marking the end of this landmark reference.

The present pink gold reference 5131R is in outstanding condition and is a harmonious balance between form and function, mechanical and beauty. The watch is complete with its original Certificate of Origin, accessories and presentation box.
