Patek Philippe

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). 

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.

While the 5134 is a nice watch.

I would go for the Cult.

In fact, I did.

... how in another forum the response is mostly "no" while in this one it's mostly "yes."  Heh heh.

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.

Having said the above, my preferred watch model mix will be a 5164a and a 5110p. Good to have the flexibility in the course of one's travel to switch for both formal and informal occasion.

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 Patek manual chronographs or the ref. 5100.

If you had the obligation to keep only one... Wouldn't it be the 5110P?

Hmmmmm?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

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 year and I should of bought one when they were cheap as I've watched the price go up and up, I have to say KEEP IT!

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 am of the mindset to add to whatever I already own, but if you are a one watch guy, then owning the 5110P would certainly make sense.

Best of luck with your decision.

yes.

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 the fact that the 5110 is simply the more compelling and significant piece within the Patek range, and the fact that it is platinum (with that diamond peeking out frm beneath) puts it in sort of an exalted catagory.  Amanico's photos of his, and generally passion for the piece didn't hurt either. 

I will be picking it up on Sunday, and will post some photos.

IMO that was absolutely the right thing to do. 

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
