Notes

Ref. 5134 is a very practical travel companion, which allows changing the time for a second time-zone at the push of 2 buttons, so gracefully designed into the case. To enhance its functionality, Patek Philippe optimized Ref. 5134 with a patented ?dynamometric? winding crown, eliminating any risk of failure or damage to the winding mechanism, when reaching the fully wound position. A fine clicking will indicate that the mainspring is sufficiently wound to power the watch for approximately 44 hours. Production of this reference started in 2003
