Catalogue Essay
Released in 2006, the Patek Philippe reference 5130 World Time is the second modern iteration of the famous timepiece. Being the successor of the reference 5110, the new model featured essentially the same caliber but a larger case size at 39.5mm in diameter, compared to 37mm for its previous model. The guilloché dial offered a different patten to the engine turned finish seen in the reference 5110. The model pays tribute to historically important Patek Philippe timepieces like the reference 605HU from the 1930s.
The World Time was initially developed by Louis Cottier in 1935, who engineered a system of inner rotating discs indicating 24 cities covering all major time zones. Fast forward to modern times, the mechanism remains largely unchanged due to its simple practicality and ease of use. The present Patek Philippe reference 5130 in white gold is offered in very good overall condition.
From the collection of Francis Ford Coppola, the present watch was admired by him for its global timekeeping capability and was invaluable for his world traveling.
