Patek Philippe Cloisonne Enamel World Time
Complete, Unworn, 2011 Ref. 5131G-001
This Rare Patek Philippe Ref. 5131G-001 Cloisonne Enamel Dial World Time Is Complete. Accompanied with its certificate of origin dated 2011, instruction manual and presentation box. This exceptional example is unworn and comes from the original owner.
The 5131G-001 world time automatic watch features a 39.5 mm case. This is a white gold example with cloisonne enamel dial and features a map of Europe, Africa and Asia . Functions include 24 hours revolving chapter ring divided into nocturnal and diurnal hours, outer silvered revolving ring with names of 24 cities. The watch comes with its original brown crocodile strap and yellow gold deployant buckle
Patek Philippe launched the reference 5131 in 2008. First introduced in yellow gold, the Maison subsequently released a white gold version in 2009, pink gold in 2014 and platinum in 2017. The 5131 is considered both as an horological marvel as well as a work of art with its hand painted cloisonne enamel dial depicting four continents: Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania.
Due to the laborious nature of the enamelling process, Patek Philippe only produces a limited number of this reference every year, making this a highly sought-after watch among collectors. The reference was in fact already subject to a long waiting list at the time of production, as only a couple enameller artists are producing less than 40 dials a year. Additionally, each dial is individually enamelled by hand, resulting in no two dials being identical. Approximately 150-200 examples of the ref. 5131G were produced.
