With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated 13 May 2012, sales tag, instruction manual, product literature, leather wallet, slip case, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.

The present example is fresh to the market and furthermore still factory sealed and therefore has never been worn.

Reference 5131 is a tribute to Patek Philippe's vintage world time watches, which are today amongst the rarest treasures, especially when highlighted by a superb cloisonné enamel dial such as the present contemporary example.

Reference 5131 was produced in two different case materials with two different cloisonné enamel dials. The yellow gold version displays the Americas, Europe and Africa, while the white gold version, such as the present example, displays Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.

A detailed count reveals that only four other examples in white gold are known to have appeared at auction to date.

Reference 5131 is today discontinued and no longer listed in Patek Philippe's catalogues.
