Hi Mark, I have researched on this production before, and based on my analysis, if it might take say a...
...week or so to produce one good enamel dial, (because of the firing and cooling time needed + wasted dials, etc.) we are talking about 50 pieces or so a year.
Even if you double this figure, it would only be 100 which is still way below the number of people who want 5131 !
So the lucky owners should really enjoy their good fortunes !
Cheers,
Gordon
Cloisonné enamel 5131R
I have made some pics of my 5131R. With the naked eye the enamel is smooth and vivid with deep colors. Even at a magnification of 9 times it remains intact. Magnification 6x Magnification 6x Magnification 9x I hope you like my photos. Cheers Johan...
That looks nice!
Congrats, very special piece! Please give us some wristshots, too. Best Tempus
I see you keep onenjoing very deeply your new 5131R Johan
Thanks a lot for these macroshots, the craftmanship of these dials is really beatiful. Enjoy it and don't hesitate to keep on sharing them! Cheers, Mark
Lovely pictures!!!
Thanks for sharing this beauty, congrats for the nice pictures. Cheers Chris
Beautiful!
How many does PP make annually for these? They're so difficult to obtain from AD's.
Nobody has the figures...
but it is indeed a small number each year and they have a very long waiting list for the current reference (R).

I had indeed something like 40 /year
but this was a very rough personal estimate. Lucky are the owners indeed and I'm glad we can be able to admire a few of them here Cheers, Mark
Truly a masterpiece , an icon of a world timer.
My admiration to you the owner and for sharing your joy. Cheers and congrats. Geross
40 per year!
Wow! With so many AD's worldwide, I can fully understand the waitlist for this watch! Beautiful indeed. Lucky for those who received an allocation.
This is such a beaut!
You captured the enamel dial really well! Beautiful pictures and wear it in good health!
