It isn’t often that we are fortunate enough to offer for sale such an important piece as this. Launched at Baselworld in 2015, the Pink Gold variant of the 5131 World Time Cloisonné Enamel is most definitely one of the rarest modern-day Patek Philippe wristwatches. Falling under the “Rare Handcraft” department of the brand, it is believed that only two enamelists make these incredible art forms, each being ever-so slightly unique due to their human touch. This particular World Time displays (and is confirmed by its Certificate of Origin) a stunning map of Asia and the Americas across the dial, finished to a level which is beyond comparison to its competitors within other brands.

Moving onto the movement within, the World Time is a stable and recognised complication within Patek Philippe’s history, with examples of the complication dating back to the 1930’s. A far superior alternative to your “normal” GMT wristwatch, the World Time is a truly incredible tool, able to tell you all 24 time zones simultaneously. To work the movement, simply press the pusher at the 10 o’clock and the hour hand leaps forward an hour, and at the same time the cities disk shifts to reflect the current zone at 12 o’clock. Housing the Automatic Calibre 240 HU “Heures Universelles" movement (comprised of 239 parts and 33 jewels), the watch boasts a 48-hour power reserve and thanks to its perfectly executed micro-rotor, the movement is incredibly thin (given its complication) and thus the watch itself sits are a mere 10.6mm thick.

In outstanding condition, and seldom worn, the watch in its entirety throughout the case, folding clasp and alligator leather strap is in a pristine, and as-new form and comes fully complete with its Patek Philippe box and its leather folder containing its booklets and Certificate of Origin. Widely known to be produced in extremely limited quantities (thought to be less than 200 examples), and discontinued in 2018, this truly is the opportunity to purchase a piece of modern-day Patek Philippe history which is already a classic, yet expected to become something so much more.
