Patek 5134p
Hello all, I was hoping to get the groups's impression of this model. I couldn't find many previously expressed opinions besides those of Dr Kol, whose opinion carries much weight and which he positively expressed in past posts. I'd appreciate others' opinions. There is an option for a preowned model which has come up locally.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Aramis

Thanks for the warm welcome and for your honest and balanced viewpoints. I\'ve been partial to the platinum version, which does have a minimalist appeal, but a very practical service. But I\'ll go give it a try and see how it speaks to me. I\'ll let you g...
A great watch!

I found from Germany a sealed 5134P which was originally sold in 2004. I bought it and sold my old one. Today I asked the master watchmaker of Patek Salon to open the package and check if the watch requires service after being wrapped for over 10 years. T...

Descartes captured my sentiments nicely. It is the uniqueness (and coolness) which allows it to be dressed up/down (as opposed to my 5726a...which I love...but is more on the sportier side). And I also like that the side panels give it a bit of a bigger p...

Kari also has high praise. The last question which I had put to him since he has one is about the 37mm size. I do understand that it looks to wear a bit larger than the quoted size. But I've grown partial to a minimum 39mm diameter pieces. But I understan...

Thank you, Descartes. You broke it down precisely in the context I am trying to look at it. I also have my classic DJ as well as a couple of PAMs. The DJ often feels too small, while PAM is mostly for action-packed informal settings. My Daytona seems to b...
The movement is not big
By: dr.kol : September 22nd, 2015-00:30
but in the actual watch it does not look too bad. For me this watch represents a kind of perfection and the size of the movement does not disturb at all. If I compare this i.e. with World Time, Travel Time's complication works much better in real life lik...
The movement
By: descartes1 : September 22nd, 2015-14:10
I think in the abstract, the size of the 5134 movement is not terrible and it's look is nice enough to my eye. BUT-- and this is a BIG BUT-- when compared to the 240 with micro rotor in the very similar case of the 5110 there is just no comparison, especi...
