Hi All, the 5131 fraternal triplets say hello !

 
By: GLau : January 4th, 2019-09:45
Naturally I love them equally but deep down inside I admire each differently. R: Connects with me because the map has Asia and the colors on the enamel dial complements the rose case very well and as a result my heart is warmed. G: Also connects with me b...  

If I had to choose one

 
By: sham1 : January 4th, 2019-10:03
it would be the 5131P but with a leather strap so that it is lighter to wear. I love the white areas on the dial which far exceeds that on the G and R. But you know my personal favourite is still the 5575G

Yes sham, I do remember well your...

 
By: GLau : January 4th, 2019-10:10
love for 5575 ! LOL !! BTW, my R enamel dial with icy white areas looks really โ€œcoolโ€. Without the white, the dial would not have the accentuation which rounds it out well.

Sorry Gordon

 
By: sham1 : January 4th, 2019-10:17
The R does not have enough 'white' for me. I love the cold, I need more snow!!!

Way too hot here Gordon!!

 
By: sham1 : January 5th, 2019-09:25
Will be heading to Europe next week and to the Scottish Highlands in February im search of the glorious white stuff!!!

superb trio!

 
By: keks : January 4th, 2019-11:45
all having a piece of Asia I suppose... but now a J would make a full set! now the hard part is choosing which one to wear I suppose... congrats again!

All totally gorgeous for me to be frank, my favorite perhaps being the R, at least of the gold versions (since I do have the P)...

On the other hand Iโ€™m starting to look around for options for the 5231 now, like I guess many of us here. Iโ€™ll be very curious to hear if anyone has some info to share on the possible dials, I have not heard anything official yet ๐Ÿ˜€

I think you need the J version Gordon to make a properly comprehensive analysis!

 
By: Conkers : January 4th, 2019-18:28
๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜€. I tell you what, get the J and then we will get together with your four 5131s and my four 5970s and we can have a serious shootout and come up with a definitive view of the best metal for each model. Not sure I will have all four 5070s in time to add ... 

A terrific trio ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The P & G are my favorite because Iโ€™m with Nicolas, a white metal guys. If I had to choose only 1, then it would be the P. Same with Sham1โ€™s opinion, the P with leather strap would be a fantastic combo ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ Thanks for sharing those superb pics ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ Ch... 

Love them all

(1) worldtime complication (2) enamel craftsmanship (3) set Hong Kong time - that's purely personal

Beautiful World!

 
By: Mean Solar Time : January 5th, 2019-06:12
Thanks for sharing. They all look great! Probably hard to pick a favorite because they all have their individual strengths.

I honestly like them all pretty equally.

 
By: Mean Solar Time : January 5th, 2019-08:34
I probably wear the "P" or "G" more often ... because the white metal cases work better with the bulk of my clothing choices.

Thanks Fram ! Exactly it is ...

 
By: GLau : January 5th, 2019-10:17
75% of a set. LOL ! Should I continue to lose an organ to complete the 5131 set ?

I'm a white metal guy, so the P. On the bracelet must be a great daily wearer

 
By: 1WatchMan : January 6th, 2019-05:11
The R is gorgeous and extremely charming, but I wouldn't wear it very often. One day I will get a watch in R, and the 5131 would be a perfect one. Maybe a 5231 ๐Ÿ˜‰

The P is a great daily wear because it is an ...

 
By: GLau : January 6th, 2019-08:04
exercise weight on your arm ! Since you like white metals, then 5231G should be yours soon !!!

LOL, the 5131P must be really heavy (never handled one yet) ๐Ÿ˜…

 
By: 1WatchMan : January 6th, 2019-13:15
I'm not a collector but just a watch lover, and I like certain diversity in my stable. Owning a 5110G, 5231G could be redundant (I know, not really, but kind of). Maybe 5231R could be a better complement. The only 'con' I see is that I don't like yellow g... 

โ€œWatch loverโ€ vs โ€œwatch collectorโ€ is ...

 
By: GLau : January 6th, 2019-18:34
an interesting comparison! On the rotor for an enamel worldtime, IMO this is a non-issue because I am forever staring in the front and admiring the enamel map & its contrast with the case. The back can be shut with a lid and I would not mind. LOL !

LOL, that's also true! ๐Ÿ˜„

 
By: 1WatchMan : January 6th, 2019-21:42
But I still don't understand why Patek is not paying attention to this mismatch. IMO it's really evident in other watches with bigger rotors.

Yellow/Rose Color Difference Not Distressing

 
By: Mean Solar Time : January 7th, 2019-11:29
Certainly everyone one is entitled to their opinion and I respect your decision based on your taste. I usually like to match metals ... belt buckle, watch case, ring ... etc, but the Rose/Yellow mismatch that occurs in some Patek references has never both... 

It's good that it doesn't bother you, maybe it's only me

 
By: 1WatchMan : January 8th, 2019-01:35
But to me yellow rotors inside rose cases means "no go". Other combos don't bother me that much, but this specific one does. Don't get me wrong, it's just a very personal feeling, but it makes me think of a sort of "collage" watch. At this level, I would ... 

I would pick the R

 
By: mj23 : January 6th, 2019-08:11
I am a white metal person but find R goes really well with the enamel map. Itโ€™s stunning

Wonderful set

 
By: jonnlee5711 : January 7th, 2019-19:43
Amazing pieces Gordon. From the pictures I agree with the feel that each dial and metal gives and having recently handled an R, I would say the G or the R would be the first piece I would hunt for budget permitting. Wear them in good health my friend.

Congratulations Gordon on your beautiful threesome!! For me hard to say an order of preference. Each has its own unique

 
By: patekova : January 9th, 2019-10:49
character and once you start playing with strap colors the differences in character become more pronounced. I have 2 questions for you: How do you feel about the bracelet on the P? And would you consider removing the bracelet and putting on a strap? Best,... 

Hi Patekova, I love the ...

 
By: GLau : January 11th, 2019-08:59
heft of the bracelet and have considered using a strap but just have not gotten around to it. IMO the P would look wonderful on different color straps and they would bring fantastic new looks to it.

Bracelet

 
By: Azzsi : January 12th, 2019-11:52
Is the platinum bracelet inter-changeable to a leather strap? I donโ€™t believe it is - am I wrong ?

They say three's a crowd

 
By: alwoo888 : January 9th, 2019-11:29
But in this case, definitely room for one more, yes? ๐Ÿ˜‰ I have to go with the P - love the 'Cold as ice' look.

What an amazing post!

 
By: ChristianDK : January 12th, 2019-04:09
congratulations, dear Gordon, my enameled friend ๐Ÿ˜„ what a post! They are absolutely stunning. I dont feel qualified to Pick a favorite, but im hopping You will show the, when I see you in HK. They are simply gorgeous, all three!

Itโ€™s in the works

 
By: ChristianDK : January 12th, 2019-12:12
