The present Patek Philippe Ref. 5130G-023, is a special requested piece featuring the dial’s removal of the “Cairo” time zone and its replacement with “Jerusalem” in red lettering specifically. According to research, Patek Philippe created the 5130G-013 which features the similar “Jerusalem” text albeit in gold lettering. The present timepiece was a special request by the original purchaser and the dial is noted on the Certificate of Origin.

Reference 5130 was launched in 2006 and replaced reference 5110, in production since 2000. Its classic Calatrava style features a larger diameter of 39.5 mm. as opposed to the 37 mm. of its predecessor. The new size allowed broadening the width of the exterior rotating disc showing the 24 time zones, thus rendering the names of the 24 world cities even more legible.
