  • Catalogue Essay

    Patek Philippe is highly selective when it comes to designing special limited edition pieces and Gübelin, founded in 1854, is among the rare and esteemed retailers that have been honored with such collaborations. In 2004, to celebrate Gübelin's 150th anniversary, a special edition of the ref. 5134 was released.

    The dial of this special edition proudly displays the retailer's signature in parallel with the Patek Philippe designation. Four variants of the special edition were created, including 40 examples in platinum, 50 examples in yellow gold, and 45 pieces in pink and white gold.

    The present platinum variant is the rarest of all. Featuring a striking black dial, it exudes superb elegance where the silver print and subtle finishing on the dial harmonize beautifully with the white gold hour markers and silvered second-time-zone hand. Turning the watch over, the caseback continues to pay tribute to Gübelin's heritage by proudly presenting the inscription "GÜBELIN 1854 - 2004" encircling the Patek Philippe movement.

    The present watch is preserved in excellent overall condition and is accompanied by its original Gübelin accessories. It represents a fantastic opportunity for collectors to acquire such a rare and elegant timepiece that commemorates the enduring partnership between Patek Philippe and Gübelin.
