Catalogue Note

With a Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin, an instruction manual and presentation box.

Launched in 2008 the Patek Philippe Ref. 5131 uses the same case and movement of the popular and reliable world-time Ref. 5130 fitted with a cloisonné enamel dial reminiscent of the vintage world time Ref. 2523 as well as the 1415. Due to the nature of hand-making each enamel dial, the production of the 5131 is extremely low with an extensive waiting list, in addition, considering the hand-made and time-consuming process required, each dial made could be considered unique.
