The present Patek Philippe World Time reference 5131J-001 in 18K yellow gold, dating to 2012, is an exceptional example of one of the most celebrated modern World Time wristwatches. Powered by the automatic calibre 240 HU, this model continues the legacy of Louis Cottier’s groundbreaking world time mechanism, allowing simultaneous reading of 24 time zones through an elegantly intuitive display. A defining feature of the reference 5131 is its extraordinary cloisonné enamel dial, depicting a vibrant world map centered on the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Crafted entirely by hand by a small number of master enamellers, these dials are produced in extremely limited quantities, with annual output historically estimated at only 30 to 40 pieces per metal version, making the 5131 one of the most sought-after contemporary Patek Philippe references. The distinctive italic “Patek Philippe Genève” engraving on the bezel further underscores the model’s refined identity. Introduced in 2008 in yellow gold, the 5131J represents the inaugural and highly desirable version of the series. This example is preserved in excellent overall condition and is fitted with a blue calf leather strap and its original 18K yellow gold Patek Philippe deployant clasp. The watch is accompanied by its complete set of accessories, including the Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated May 17, 2012, leather envelope, hang tag, product literature, cardboard sleeve, and outer packaging. Elegant, technically sophisticated, and artistically remarkable, this reference 5131J-001 offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic and collectible World Time watches ever produced by Patek Philippe.
