www.privateairny.com Private Air | Winter 2022/2023 60 Lots 37-40 A Complete Set of Patek Philippe Ref. 5131s Phillips is proud to offer an entire set of Patek Philippe's superb cloisonné enamel dial world time wristwatches, produced beginning in 2008. With reference 5131, Patek Philippe resurrected the line of Cloisonné world time pieces, which originally appeared in the 1950s and are now considered amongst the masterpieces of the brand. Launched originally in yellow gold, the reference was produced in the three gold colors and in platinum. In 2021, the last scion of reference 5131 (the platinum version) was discontinued, officially sanctioning the end of this landmark reference. Offered as individual lots and fully complete, the set is consigned by the original owner, an important collector of Patek Philippe watches, who purchased each when they were launched. e Patek Philippe reference 5070 was the first chronograph-only wristwatch released by the firm since the 1960s when production of the iconic water- resistant reference 1463 ceased. Introduced in 1998 at Basel, it was something of a shock to collectors that Patek would choose to reintroduce their chronograph-only line in such bold fashion – particularly with an oversized 42mm case diameter and a dramatically thick, stepped bezel. e present lot is a most probably unique example, and the only one known to feature a superb and radiant brown, luminous dial and Breguet hour markers. Another extraordinary detail on the dial is the subtle monogram, 'MSO', presented at 6 o'clock. For Patek Philippe to permit a monogram on the dial, one's importance to the brand must be truly significant. Discontinued since 2009, the reference houses Patek Philippe's manual-winding caliber CH 27-70, based upon a highly modified Lemania 2310 ébauche. Considered one of the finest chronograph movement designs of all-time, the movement is extremely well-finished - stamped with the Geneva Seal, while providing an impressive 60 hours of power reserve. is reference 5070 is offered for the first time at auction, preserved in overall outstanding condition and offered with its Certificate of Origin and fitted box. e 42mm stepped case and the stunning and unique brown dial will certainly appeal to the collector of modern haute horlogerie seeking a one-of-a-kind, specially ordered Patek Philippe watch.
