Collector joenghenry introduces his Patek Philippe Ref. 5131/1P, affectionately dubbed the “Ice King,” highlighting its breathtaking North Pole cloisonné dial. His acquisition sparks a discussion among fellow enthusiasts about the unique characteristics and artistry of this highly coveted World Time reference. This article delves into the community's insights on its enamel work and collector nuances.
Dear All,
Just got this “Ice King” from my AD tonight.
The cloisonné of North Pole is breathtaking.
As Gordon said, the colour mixing is completely different from R and resembling G.
Best,
Henry
Key Points from the Discussion
- The enamel work on the Patek Philippe Ref. 5131P and 5131G shares similarities because both were crafted by the renowned Anita Porchet team, known for their exceptional rare handcrafts.
- The Patek Philippe Ref. 5131P is accompanied by a separate certificate of rare handcraft, a distinction not present in earlier 5131 versions. This certificate specifies the reference number but not individual movement or case numbers.
- Collecting the full set of Patek Philippe Ref. 5131 World Timers, including the J and G versions, is a significant long-term goal for many enthusiasts, often requiring careful sourcing from the secondary market or auction houses.
