Would you trade.....
Would you trade a really nice 5134g (Travel Time) for a 5110p (World Time)?
I really love the 5134g as I am into GMT/Travel Watches. That said, the 5110p is basically my grail watch (top of the tree in the GMT/travel genre) and the world timers are quintessential Patek.
If you would do that trade, since the 5110p is platinum and more expensive, what do you think would be a reasonable amount to add in order to make a fair deal? (I think discussion of pricing is discouraged by some here so please feel free to PM me with thoughts on this).
Here are a few photos of the 5134g in case you are not familiar with the model.

I would.
The 5134 is a very nice watch while the 5110 is an iconic one. The only question is to know if I would not regret the handwind movement. Fx
Without hesitation. The 5110 ( even better in P, IMO ) is a cult watch
While the 5134 is a nice watch. I would go for the Cult. In fact, I did. :) Best, Nicolas
It is just amusing to me to see...
... how in another forum the response is mostly "no" while in this one it's mostly "yes." Heh heh. Personally I'd do it if you really think you'd get your Grail in exchange for a piece for which you don't have much of an emotional connection.
Go for it...
With no disrespect to the 5134 owners, I preferred the 5164 as I deemed it to be more practical IMHO to wear due to SS/tropical strap combo. In addition, the presence of date and instant day/night window complication makes the 5164 a winner in my book. Ha...
No doubt.
For me, there is no doubt. I will trade immediately. 5110 is an important reference and very well designed and manufactured. The cal. 240 is also a very pretty and reliable movement. If you really miss the manual winding movement, you can look at any Pate...
I understand everybody saying "yes" but
let's make it a bit more complicated... I guess many of you who said "yes", have not owned 5134 (with the exception of Nico). What I mean is that 5134 is a superb watch to handle. Furthermore, because rarity was also asked, the final version of 5134 is al...
Yes, but let's do it a bit more complicated...
If you had the obligation to keep only one... Wouldn't it be the 5110P? Hmmmmm? Hmmmmmmmmmmm? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ???? :) Best, Nicolas
No, it wouldn't!
It would be 5131G. However, if I would have a "Sofie's Choice" and I should decide between my 5110P and 5134P, I would cry and keep the 5110P. I love them both but in 5110 these's something so Patek that I could do nothing else. Best, Kari
Hold on! If you love the world time go for it...
But take this into consideration the travel time 5134 like yours had a limited run and you can no longer buy it, in my opinion it's a better looking watch if there is anyway you could keep both I would do that, the 5134 in rose gold is on my list for this...
You currently own a beautiful watch in the 5134G and
certainly the 5110P is a different piece entirely with all of its functions in plain sight which adds to a much more complicated appearing dial. The fact that the 5134 can conceal its two time zone function is quite appealing to me. Would I make the trade...
I've made my decision
Thank you all for the very helpful comments. After a great deal of thought, I've decided to acquire the 5110p. The 5134g is a beautiful and magical piece in its own right (and I am thinking of getting another one day in yellow gold). BUT, it came down to ...
Congratulations!
I am sure it was a difficult decision but after such careful consideration, you will surely enjoy your new 5110P. Best, Kari
Congratulations! Good decision!
IMO that was absolutely the right thing to do. Very much looking forward to the pictures :-) Best regards Georg
Great choice
You probably miss the 5134g, they may come out in the future with a bigger size and if its still along the lines of this simple gmt you could have the best of both worlds, enjoy the new piece, look toward to the pics Cheers Steve
