Launched in 2008, the Patek Philippe reference 5131 is fitted with a cloisonné enamel dial reminiscent of the vintage world time reference 2523 as well as the 1415. Due to the nature of hand-making each enamel dial, the production of the 5131 is extremely low and with an extensive waiting list. Less than a handful of enamel artists produce only around 30-40 dials every year. In addition, considering the hand-made and time-consuming process required, each dial made can be considered unique.

First released in yellow gold, the reference was subsequently released in a white gold version in 2009 and in a pink gold version in 2014. Finally in 2018, the pink gold variant was replaced by the present platinum reference 5131P. The platinum iteration may very well be considered the most exciting one yet as it is the first one with a metal bracelet instead of the more traditional leather strap. The platinum bracelet pairs well with the dial and makes the beautifully crafted cloisonné enamel truly stand out. 

The present lot is offered in what appears to be practically unused condition and comes complete with Certificate of Origin and presentation case.
