Patek virgin
I have collected JLC and IWC for about 15 years, but am now finding myself thinking about a Patek Philippe. Not being an officianado, i looked through the PP website just to see which watched "grabbed" me. Then I tried sourcing them. That was when I met consistent laughter regardless of which AD i called. 5070P is clearly rarer than the Holy Grail! The other ref. that I liked was the 5130P. I would be curious to hear other perspectives on the 5130P. Advice and comments would be very welcome.

5130P
Well, it is a great watch ! I don't have one but would love to own a Patek worldtimer. Did you also look ate the 5135 (Gondolo Calendario) ? My top 3 Patek watches are the 5070 - 5135 - 5130 And here's a nice pic ... rarer than the Holy Grail Took this Pi...
Holy Grail
That really is a beautiful picture. Sometimes watches just sing. I called around some of the more obscure authorised dealers yesterday. All of them had obviously sold out. Most said that they could have sold their allocations 10 times over. But, one said ...
The 5130 is a superb watch , Joe
I would jump on it without any hesitation. But I would choose it in WG, for once. As the dial is maybe, at least to me, better balanced with the silver center part, rather than with the blue part of the 5130. With a 5130, you will have THE reference in te...
5130p
Nicolas, Many thanks. Yes, i know what you mean about the white gold. I am torn between the two. Thanks for the comments
5130P
Well, i have taken the decision on the 5130 and also made another decision on the 5070. I am wearing the 5130P as I type and you are right...it is a superb watch. I am also lucky enough to have bought an 5070P, still sealed as new. I won't get the latter ...
Congrats, Joe!
Please, post some pics! And yes, Please, unseal your 5070P! This is not a watch to keep in the safe, but to safely put on the wrist! Best, Nicolas
Thanks
Nicolas, Thanks. I feel very pleased to be wearing the 5130P. I had no idea that platinum was so heavy. I own a few rose and yellow gold JLCs, and they have nothing like the weight! Likewise, I own two IWCs and I just imagined the 5130P to be lighter! I c...
Patek Virgin no mre...I love this title! :)))
Very nice, indeed! Do you have a pic of your Vintage JLC, too? Enjoy! Best, Nicolas
My JLCs
The vintage has a serial number ref 74599 A The odysseus is numbered 0978 - the first watch i bought myself... ref 164 . 7 . 79 Master control ref 140 . 2 . 80 - the first true sign that i had become a watch junkie. I have a Reverso, as does my wife, and ...
Wow, The Master Control Perpetual is a pure Beauty!
You should go to the JLC forum to discuss about your collection of JLC watches, my friend. This is a nice selection, indeed. I have some weakness for your Perpetual Calendar... Best, nicolas
Perpetual
Yes, i thought i might be getting off forum ... but you did as for the pics! The perpetual is a most beautiful watch.
