Footballer Graziano Pellè spotted wearing Patek Philippe

Italian footballer Graziano Pellè made headlines recently for his extravagant choice of wristwear: a stunning Patek Philippe World Time with a cloisonné enamel central dial. This particular model, the 5131, was first introduced in 2006, but it's the -014 designation that stands out in the watch world for its vibrant colors of the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.

What makes this reference so special is its cloisonné enamel technique, where tiny compartments within the dial are filled with enamel before the piece is fired in the kiln. The result is a stunning, long-lasting finish that gives the dial a three-dimensional effect.

The reference 5131J-014 - the same model Graziano Pellè wears - was produced for less than two years before the reference was eventually replaced by the 5231. As a result, this particular version has become incredibly rare and valuable. The market price is around €100,000, putting it out of reach for most watch enthusiasts.

For those who can appreciate the rarity and craftsmanship of this incredible piece, the 5131 is sure to become a treasured addition to any collection. While the Italian footballer may have grabbed the headlines for his striking choice of watch, the 5131 remains a coveted timepiece among collectors and connoisseurs alike.
