A Dream Realised - 5110R
So after countless hours of studying, learning, comparing, hunting and searching (not mentioning selling two of my older watches), I finally got hold of this beauty which I had been dreaming of for months!
I was struggling between 5110 and 5130 (the new 5230 is too expensive to me, so it is out of question), I concluded that the former fits my wrist better than the latter, and I think the rose gold version is the best looking one!
May I express a special thank to Patrickh, who was pro-actively giving extremely useful advises and inspirations along the way, a true gentleman he is!
Allow me to share some of the photos with you. I am waiting for the Camille Fournet short strap to arrive in order to wear it publicly. Yet I couldn't wait longer so I worn it out today and took a wrist shot as well!
Enjoy.
Huge congratulations to you
It looks fantastic on your wrist and is indeed a true classic PP.
Wear in the best of health

I agree!
The rose gold 5110 is the best looking 5110 even though many purists seem to be partial to the 5110P.
Suits your wrist and well done on a great acquisition! A definite keeper!! 
Hi Nig
I've just locked the second post as it had only one answer and left this one opened (I moved it to the Patek forum) as there were already 3 answers

My favorite!
I love the 5110R, this little traditional, elegant and very appealing balance that isn't so often seen.
Enjoy it well Nig that's a very nice choice.
We will be very pleased seeing your new strap when you get it!
Best, Mark
Yes Mark, I like its elegance yet it is eye catching due to its colour as well. [nt]

Looks perfect on your wrist.
I agree, RG is a very attractive version of 5110 but so are the other three.
If you go to the home pages of Camille Fournet, you will notice that a bespoke strap is not costing a cent more than a standard one. Why not to go for one which is perfect for your wrist?
Congrats and best,
Kari
Dear Kari, regarding which metal is better...
You have the say as you own all of them!
I ordered a short one from Camille Fournet and am now waiting for them to get it done and send it to me.
Cheers.

I really do not know the answer.
I bought P years ago and I thought it's the nicest. But now when I look at all four, I really do not know. Normally I do not care too much about the coloured metals but both R and J are so nice that I bought matching PP cufflinks for both of them.
I guess I could live with any 5110 but naturally, best to have them all! Lol.
Best, Kari
Congrats !!
5110R is a great watch. I forbid myself from debating whether the R or the P is better: without a decision there's no target, which keeps the banker happy
Enjoy your dream watch and please post more photos when you have received your strap.
Congratulations
Stunning piece that looks great on your wrist! Wear and enjoy it in the good health. Best, Mike
Congratulations. The wait worth it I'm sure. Enjoy and wear it in good health
Best wishes

Thought you wrote an earlier post about getting the 5110P ? What changed your thinking ?

I tried both R and P side by side and the R singed to me. That's why! [nt]

Congratulations Nig
Your hunt and final decision made you very Happy.
Love your photos and the wristshot.
The CF strap will be a very nice combination, too.
Enjoy and wear it in Best of Health
Just prior the new Chinese Year: what a good start.
A pleasure to discuss together.

Congrats!
You made a great descision as the 5110, had TWO of them, are wonderful. They were made when Patek had great quality control and customer service too. Congrats and you did great getting one!
Superb!
One of the best watches ever made. It fits you perfectly. Where it in good health. My yellow gold world time says hello.
Interesting and innovative technique.
By wearing 4 WT's on each wrist you could already have 8 of the 24 timezones immediately viewable without having to ever engage the WT function. Well done.
Not sure, but if you purchase 8 WT's I suspect they will accommodate you with the extra straps... [nt]

They have done it already.
Here are +30 new PP straps all made to measurements. I'm sure they still have a couple in the Salon.
To be honest, I have nothing to complain. Vice Versa.
Best, Kari
