The Patek Philippe World Time has a tremendous heritage dated back to the early 1930’s, offered to the world by the father of the world time, Louis Cottier. Fast forward 90 years, the World Time remains one of the most coveted modern timepiece from the maison. Highly notable for the immaculate and vibrant cloisonné enamel map, the art of cloisonné enamel commands exceptional skillful artisans and painstaking process to execute, thus extremely rare and adorned by collectors of prestige timepieces.
The ref. 5131 was chronologically produced in various metals from 2008 in yellow gold , followed by white gold in 2009, pink gold in 2014 and finally platinum in 2017. First to be made in platinum and enhanced with a platinum ‘brick’ bracelet, the 5131P is surely opulent. Taking centre stage of the dial depicts a new hemisphere of the world, the North Pole. Executed in vast green of land and shades of blue of the deep sea, traces of icy white enamel evokes the land of true North , the map is stunning with gold wire intricately outlining the coasts of Canada and Russia. The 24 hour city ring features Hong Kong, Dubai and Moscow as representatives of their respective time zone. Later models will instead feature Beijing.
With only 6 platinum examples appeared previously in auction, the present example 5131P is in unused, pristine condition and remains preserved in its original single sealed packaging. Furthermore, it is fresh to the market, and offered with the Certificate of Origin, presentation box and hang tag. Discontinued just at the beginning of this year in 2021, the present lot is extremely rare and highly elusive, and is beyond doubt an opportunity not to miss.
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.
Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
