Lug to Lug size of 5100... and some Nautilus photos
Dear all, I have developed some interest in 5100 considering it played a very unique role in Patek history. I had a chance to put a 5100J on my small wrist today and it seemed just fine although it's on the big side... anyone could tell me the lug to lug measurement of this stunner and their actual wearing experience?
Btw, I had attended a PP gathering in HK and quite a rare chance to spot so many Nautilus under one roof!
Cheers,
Nigel

As a Nautilus nut, this has to be one of my favorite photos / posts. Thank you for sharing, you made my day! Apologies I'm no help with your question 😔 [nt]

The 5100G is on the top of my wish list.
I agree on the interest of this watch. I could not see one in the flesh, yet, but I am sure I will adore it.

I had tried one tonight...
Interestingly the lugs do not extend my wrist from top angle. But I am not sure how a watch with this shape should look on a wrist as "correct".
It is hard to consider it as an everyday watch. But it has such a strong charm and personality that it is a " must have ". [nt]

I saw a couple of 5100J these days, but not the other versions yet. [nt]

What a shot my friend. Truly impressive 😳
Regarding the case size of this PP, it's 34x46mm and almost 52mm lug to lug.

Thanks Alkiro. 52mm lug to lug sounds big on paper but I didn't feel the size overwhelming when put on wrist. Need to try few more times. [nt]

My pleasure my friend
Well, sometimes, if a timepiece is particularly well designed despite a "big" case size, it can be wearable even for small wrist.
But you're absolutely right. Try it several times to be absolutely sure of your choice.

Just because I'm doing some research on this piece, I was also side tracked by Lange Cabaret, which is a stunner as well and seems to be more "wearable"! [nt]

Yes the Cabaret is more wearable in my opinion. And for a Lange lover like you may be mandatory 😉

hello Nigel,
What a nice selection of PP.
Regarding the 5100G, here are my wristshots taken in 2013.
As I have a small wrist, I had tighten up the strap and find it comfortable.
I hope you can have a closer idea.
A great model IMHO
