Patek Philippe A very fine and rare white gold world time wristwatch with cloisonné enamel dial, Certificate of Origin and presentation box, factory sealed, retailed by Tiffany & Co.
39.5 mm diameter
The present timepiece, the reference 5131G-001, incorporates distinctive features of two of Patek Philippe’s most desired models: the movement of the reliable World Time reference 5130, and the cloisonné enamel map reminiscent of the vintage world-time reference 1415.
Initially only available in yellow gold with a map of the Americas, the model was later introduced in white gold featuring a map of Asia, Africa and Europe – as seen in the present watch, and later in pink gold. The reference 5131 is scarce in the public market, as very few are made every year due to the sublime prowess and craftsmanship required to create hand-made cloisonné enamel dials. Uniquely beautiful and extremely fine, the cloisonné enamel of this watch is literally an artwork for the wrist.
Our research shows that the present lot is fresh to the auction market. This Patek Philippe reference 5131G is completed with a Certificate of Origin stamped by Tiffany & Co. Salon on April 22, 2013, a Patek Philippe wooden presentation box and Tiffany & Co. iconic turquoise-colored outer packaging. Most importantly, the watch is factory sealed, making it an invaluable asset to add to any collection.
