Amanico captures a candid moment from a Paris GTG, featuring a Patek Philippe 5130 World Time on Keks's wrist. The post humorously touches on the challenges of finding the perfect strap and the watch's presence on the wrist. This snapshot from a community gathering sparks appreciation for the timepiece and the camaraderie among collectors.
Best,
Nicolas The Patek Philippe Complications reference 5130, introduced in 2006, is a World Time watch that succeeded the popular reference 5110. This model maintained the distinctive World Time complication, allowing for simultaneous display of time in 24 different time zones. Its design evolved with a slightly larger case and updated dial aesthetics, distinguishing it from its predecessor while retaining the core functionality that defines Patek Philippe's travel timepieces. It was produced until 2017.
The watch features an 18k rose gold case measuring 39.5mm in diameter and 9.8mm in thickness, housing the self-winding Caliber 240 HU movement. This ultra-thin movement, visible through a sapphire crystal case back, provides a power reserve of 48 hours. The dial is silver or opaline with a guilloché center, protected by a sapphire crystal. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters.
Reference 5130 appeals to collectors seeking a sophisticated travel complication from Patek Philippe. Its larger case size compared to the 5110 offered a more contemporary presence on the wrist, while its classic World Time mechanism remained a hallmark of the brand's technical prowess. The model was available in various precious metals, with the rose gold variant offering a warm aesthetic.
I fear this will set a new trend of oversized wristwatches 😱
Btw, I love how your Volvo sounds! Thank you for the ride 🙏🏻
this is the real deal
Both are discontinued and 5230 is now the one in the present PP catalogue but the 2 clocks are genuine imho
Thank God it is not mine so I don’t really worry too much whether it is fake or original 🤣. Anyhow thanks for the input and pics, you most probably have a point (certainly even 😉)
Like the captain of the vessel I was the last one to leave so I was wondering where you were but never mind it was a wonderful evening
