Introduction
A cherished exemplar of global horology, the Patek Philippe World Time ref. 5131P was launched in 2017 as the upgraded version of the iconic 5130. Housed in a platinum 39.5.mm case and offered on a matching platinum brick-style bracelet, the ref. 5131P captures the essence of international timekeeping with a mix of subtle sophistication, technical prowess and artisanal craftsmanship. At the heart of the ref. 5131 is an intricate cloisonne enamel dial with a top-down view of the Earth that is surrounded by a 24-hour rotating disk and a static outer ring representing 24 global cities. With just a push of a button, the wearer can effortlessly adjust the time zone, truly embodying the spirit of the cosmopolitan traveller. Powered by the automatic cal. 240 HU that can be enjoyed behind a sapphire crystal case back, the meticulously crafted movement is visible, allowing a glimpse into Patek Philippe's fine watchmaking expertise. A perfect blend of functionality and finesse, the Patek Philippe World Time 5131P is an emblem of universal sophistication and Patek Philippe’s revered position as one of watchmaking’s most iconic brands given the wide-spread adoption that the World Time complication has enjoyed since the ref. 5110 put it back on the map.

THE DIAL
Boasting a cloisonne enamel center, the ref. 5131P swaps the ref. 5130's guilloche engraved center for an elaborate and incredibly complex top-down view of the Earth, providing the otherwise monochromatic watch with a bright burst of color.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Featuring a hefty platinum case with a subtly engraved domed bezel, the ref. 5131P's impressive wrist presence comes as a result of its incredibly luxurious platinum brick bracelet.

Our Perspective
A staple of Patek Philippe's offering, the World Time complication has become as much a part of their identity as tool watches have become a part of Rolex's, and models like the ref. 5131P are the mechanism through which Patek showcases their incredible craftsmanship within the World Time platform.
