Catalogue Essay
Released in 2014, the Patek Philippe World Time ref. 5131R-001 features the firm’s highly appreciated cloisonné enamel dial depicting continents of the world map.
Patek Philippe has created some of the most important world time timepieces throughout its years, with its first world time wristwatch reference via the coveted ref. 1415 released in the 1940s and the iconic and much appreciated ref. 2523 “Double Crown”. Fast forward to the 21st century, the first contemporary world time reference was launched in 2000 via ref. 5110 to commemorate the new millennium. Six years later, the ref. 5130 was introduced featuring essentially the same caliber though with a larger case size at 39.5mm diameter. The ref. 5131 was launched in four metals including yellow gold, white gold, pink gold and platinum.
The present example Patek Philippe World Time ref. 5131R-001 features a beautiful cloisonné enamel dial depicting the continents of Asia, Americas and Oceana. Furthermore, the dial still features “Hong Kong” as one of the cities on the city ring, latter models features “Beijing” instead. Not only is this example complete with its full set of accessories, it remains in its single-sealed condition like the day it was born from the manufacture. Absolutely pristine and untouched, this ref. 5131R-001 is ready to touch the wrist of a connoisseur for the first time.
