Catalogue Essay
The cloisonné enamel world time reference 5131 has been hugely popular ever since it was introduced in 2008. Since the watch was introduced, market prices have been as high as three times the original suggested retail price. Many collectors aspire to owning such a watch due to the delicately crafted cloisonné dial that is very reminiscent of the double crown world times from the 1950s.

Offered in close to new condition, the watch is still retaining all of its accessories.
