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.
