The present example is an extremely rare specimen. Boasting a glossy white lacquer dial, it is complete with the usual Breguet numerals and feuille hands. As the 25th white gold example known to the market, the ref. 5134G at hand is believed to be the first to bear a Tiffany & Co. Signature on the dial. This small but significant nuance further elevates the rarity and collectibility of this exceptional timepiece.

Last produced in 2008, this discontinued dual-time Patek Philippe is presented in excellent condition with its fitted presentation box. Combining its traditional design, modern mechanics and majestic white gold case, the present double signed Calatrava Travel Time is a modern heirloom, made to be passed on for generations. To our knowledge through research, the present example is the 25th known publicly and is the first example known retailed by Tiffany & Co.

Whether it is a World Time or a dual time wristwatch, Patek Philippe has always excelled in making timepieces that tick all the boxes for seasoned highflyers. The ref. 5134G is a proud descendant of the iconic ref. 2597, a watch launched in 1958 and was ultimately inspired by Louis Cottier’s ingenious design. While the first iteration of this historical model is fitted with an independently adjustable hour hand, the second version, launched in 1962, features an additional hour hand to indicate a second timezone.

The contemporary Calatrava Travel Time ref. 5134 enjoyed a successful 7-year production run from 2001 to 2008. Equipped with the firm’s patented travel time system, the ref. 5134 indicates the home time via a sandblasted silvered hand, coupled with a 24-hour indicator positioned at 12 o’clock. Fusing form and function, the pushers on the caseband at 8 and 10 o’clock form a fool-proof mechanism that allows its wearer to adjust the local time display by going backwards or forwards with a click of a button. On the reverse of the watch, the inside of the sapphire caseback is further printed with “GÜBELIN 1854 - 2004”.

Exceptionally rare, the present white gold ref. 5134G is part of the exclusive limited edition of 45 pieces, made in commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of Gübelin in 2004. Evidently, the prestigious retailer’s signature is proudly positioned in parallel with the Patek Philippe designation on the dial. Other variants were also made, with 40 examples in platinum, 50 examples in yellow gold and 45 pieces in pink gold. A celebration of two powerhouses, Patek Philippe is known to only design special anniversary pieces for a handful of its trusted retail partners and notably, Gübelin is one of Switzerland’s oldest and most esteemed retailers founded in 1854.

Presented in excellent overall condition, this white gold Calatrava Travel Time, Gübelin 150th Anniversary offers a fantastic opportunity for collectors to own such a rare and elegant timepiece and is only the 9th publicly known example that has resurfaced to the market.

921. A fine, attractive and historically important platinum perpetual calendar wristwatch with center seconds, moon phases, retrograde date, leap year indication, applied Roman numerals, Certificate of Origin and presentation box
