A powerful & striking watch - will definitely draw attention & makes for a great conversation piece. The Patek World Time is an iconic piece. We are happy to offer one of the latest Patek "Email Cloisonné" World Timers released in Platinum on a bracelet. The new version of the famous Patek Philippe World Time watch evokes dreams of traveling in style. The center of its dial depicts the world in cloisonné enamel – for the first time from the perspective of the North Pole. It is an unusual view with depth and realism created by the artist with numerous coatings of different enamel paint colors. The platinum case and bracelet pay homage to the Far North, cloaking it with a silvery sheen. The Ref. 5131/1P-001 has a case that is very much in line with the times, with a diameter of 39.5 mm. While the back of the case is brushed, the case middle and the rounded bezel are polished to a spectacular sheen. So as to not clutter the dial or disrupt its cohesive design, the manufacturer’s marquee is subtly engraved onto the bezel instead – ‘PATEK PHILIPPE’ at 12 o’clock, ‘GENEVE’ at 6 o’clock. On the case flanks, a pusher at 10 o’clock allows the owner to conveniently switch time zones while a diamond set into the case at 6 o’clock inconspicuously testifies that the watch is made of platinum, the most noble of metals. The latest Ref. 5131 variant continues to utilize the unique open-tipped hour hand and dauphine minute hand seen in current and previous world time references. The case is matched with an equally opulent rice bead link bracelet in full platinum. The use of a bracelet also means that the Ref. 5131/1P-001 is the least dressy variant of the Ref. 5131 world time watches from Patek Philippe and is thus the easiest to dress down with – perfect for the leisure traveler. As stunning and well-crafted the case and bracelet are, the dial of the Ref. 5131/1P-001 remains the star of the show. The dial is decorated with a stylized map of the Earth with the North Pole centered, made entirely of enamel. The particular enamelling technique used in the Ref. 5131 is called cloisonné enamelling. It involves hand-bending gold wires and applying them to the outlines of the dial design thus forming partitions or cloisons. These cloisons are filled in with enamel paste (often an enamel powder and water mixture) and fired in a kiln, resulting in a detailed and colorful end product. Around the enamel center are the 24-hour ring with day/night indicator and the 24 cities representing the world’s 24 principal time zones. All these elements combine to form what is an absolutely classy world timer dial. Inside the Ref. 5131/1P-001 beats the self-winding Calibre 240 HU, which is based on the Calibre 240. The legendary base Calibre 240 celebrates in 40th birthday this year. Since its world debut in 1977 with the ultra-thin Ref. 3738 Golden Ellipse, the Calibre 240 has been optimised in many respects but still retains its original DNA. The movement still beats at a traditional 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour but now with the patented Spiromax balance spring in Silinvar manufactured in-house. A 22k gold unidirectional micro-rotor winds the movements to provide a minimum of 48 hours power reserve. Bearing the Patek Philippe Seal, the movement is highly precise (with a rate accuracy that ranges between -3/+2 seconds per day) and of course, immaculately finished. The Geneva waves on the surface of the bridges are beautifully highlighted by polished chamfers. Gold-filled engravings of the manufacturer’s marquee and the ‘PP’ emblem decorate the silver expanse of bridges. The iconic gold micro-rotor is also textured with Geneva waves and features an engraving of the Calatrava cross, which the brand uses as its logo. Even the less-appreciated perlage on the base plate and the circular graining on the wheels are executed perfectly. The Calibre 240 HU, which has an additional world time function, continues to carry the torch for the legendary Calibre 240. As we see it, the calibre is further away from retirement than inception as it remains one of Patek Philippe’s finest automatic movements ever. Patek Philippe introduced the world time complication, also known as a “worldtimer”. The early versions of these Patek Philippe world time watches generate seven figure auction results. In more recent years, Patek has offered a few variations. This reference 5131 is by far the most beautiful world time offering from Patek. The dial displays the world map made using the art of cloisonné. Cloisonne watch dials are the efflorescence of the watch dial artisan craft. The process of making each dial is painstakingly manual and involves hundreds of individual steps. Truly, the dial on this watch is art. ONE OF THE RAREST!!!! No doubt - One of the most sought after Patek Philippe watches ever released. The unparalleled renown and prestige that Patek Philippe has acquired amongst connoisseurs is not due solely to the perfection of the watches and the resources of knowledge and skill contained in the workshops. This undisputed supremacy also stems from the consistency with which the company has applied its philosophy of excellence ever since it was founded in 1839.
