The Patek Philippe Reference 5131R is a rose gold world time wristwatch, measuring 39.5mm in case diameter. The watch features an inner dial sector decorated with a cloisonné enamel map depicting the Americas, Asia, and Australia.

This central display is surrounded by a bi-color 24-hour ring in blue and silver, and an outer silvered 24-city ring. A pusher located at the 10 o'clock position on the case flank facilitates the adjustment of the city and time zone display. The watch is powered by an in-house Patek Philippe Calibre 240 HU automatic movement, which is visible through a sapphire display case back. The timepiece is fitted with an alligator leather strap secured by an 18k rose gold deployant clasp.

This example is accompanied by an inner and outer box set, a leather folio, and a certificate of origin dated to 2015.

Movement and Case Back
The timepiece is equipped with the in-house Patek Philippe Calibre 240 HU automatic movement. This movement is designed for the world time complication, providing the necessary mechanical input for the rotating rings. The case back features a sapphire display window, which allows for direct observation of the internal movement. This construction choice provides visibility into the finish and mechanical assembly of the Calibre 240 HU.
Case and Dial Construction
The Patek Philippe Reference 5131R is housed in a 39.5mm rose gold case. The dial displays a central cloisonné enamel map, which includes the continents of the Americas, Asia, and Australia. Surrounding this central feature is a rotating bi-color 24-hour ring, with blue sections representing night hours and silver sections representing daylight hours. An outer silvered city ring lists various global locations to allow the user to track local time relative to their current position. The functionality of this world time mechanism, including the synchronization of the 24-city ring and the rotating 24-hour ring, is managed via a dedicated pusher installed on the side of the case at the 10 o'clock position.
Configuration and Documentation
This watch is attached to an alligator leather strap. The strap is secured with an 18k rose gold deployant clasp, consistent with the material of the watch case. The object is supplied with a set of original documentation and storage accessories, including an inner and outer box, a leather folio, and a certificate of origin. The certificate of origin indicates a date of 2015.
