a one of a kind Patek you haven't probably seen before

It's for an auction so the more expensive the better.
The 5131 as we know it is already rare but this 5131 is VERY unique


UNIQUE Patek Philippe


I like these enamel cloissoné dials, it is a work of art. Owning a one of a kind must give a good feeling !

Haven't found the final result yet. The auctin was one week ago

I hope you will get one but I have bad news ....

A few weeks ago I was in Geneva and ofcourse visited the PP boutique
When I spopke about the 5131 the Patek person told me they had a HUGE waiting list
100 for the J and 120 for the G
Know that this was at only 1 boutique ..... and a rumour says they make between 30 an 50 of these ... per year

Stunning piece that is!! But even the regular 5131 is special and very rare in it's own respect!! No way I'm getting anywhere near one of those :(

who's in for a little quiz

I am aware of 4 other one of a kind Patek Philippe watches made in the last 5 years. Each of them was also sold in an auction for charity.
Maybe there are more than 4 but right now I can only remember 4 pieces.

Who knows which pieces I'm talking about ...
