That is part of the name, "Patek Philippe Geneve," and it needs to go somewhere -- the whole signature is in fact on the bezel :-)

The 5131 was the first modern, in-catalog WT enamel series, and given that the dial was busy enough, I don't mind this more original touch... I know that others prefer the more recent choice to have the full signature on the dial, as we see today on the 5231 or the 5531 (or all the out-of-catalog Rare Handcrafts).
As a purist, I honestly have MUCH more of a problem to not see the full signature on the 5303 and 5304 until I flip the watch, the *only* occurrence in the entire current catalog.....but I confess I've yet to fully adjust to the 5303 anyway!!😄😇
Cheers.
