Launched in 2006, reference 5130 replaced reference 5110, which had been manufactured since 2000. The 5130 added a larger 39.5 mm. case, up from the 37 mm. diameter of its predecessor, while keeping the traditional Calatrava design. The 24 world cities could be seen more clearly thanks to the wider rotating disc made possible by this enlargement. This watch's rarity and appeal are further enhanced by the highly sought-after 'Tiffany & Co.' signature at six o'clock.
Taking inspiration from the legendary reference 1415, Patek Philippe's first World Time model introduced in the 1930s, the dial is adorned with an exquisite guilloché sunburst motif. The bold, sculpted hour markers add a dynamic and modern character. Furthermore, the ring-shaped hour hand, which is only found on World Time watches, represents the globe and honors the company's long history of producing some of the most significant travel timepieces in watchmaking.
