Thank you for this next great post 👍🏼 Nice to see all the different variations

I'm not a superfan of the worldtimer complication. I owned a 5230R but ultimately, the 5110P won my ❤️ It is simply something very special. I like the models with cloisonné enamel, but have never had the desire to own and wear them. They somehow don't sui

I opted for the 5230R-0001

It is all personal preference but I much prefer the lugs and the crownguard-less case design over the two previous iterations, as well as the hand design (for non-cloisonne models at least) and the serif font. While a perfect world would give me this mode

Thanks for sharing this beautiful photo with us Nico

As we've discussed before, this was the watch I wanted to buy in 2002 but couldn't afford it (but never forgot it). Years later I was able to acquire my 5230R as a sort of "homage," but there's something special in the 5110J that still pulls at my heart s

Your criteria of love and passion are the true bottom line. I really appreciate my 5070G for its historic significance, its design, balance and symmetry, its visual appeal up close and far away. I find I wear it probably more often than my other Patek wat

Would you have any advice concerning a potential choice between the 5110, your 5130 and the 5230?

I've only tried on the 5230G, just before they discontinued it as well as the 5230R: the fit on the wrist of the 38.5mm case (with 46.7mm lug-to-lug) was perfect. But I think I much prefer the "pebble smooth Calatrava case" of the 5110 and 5130. The 37mm

For the pleasure of the eyes: Patek Philippe 5230R.

I am still waiting for the opportunity to shoot a 5230P, but this R doesn't lack charm.... Don't you think? Best, Nicolas

Oh I like this term! Fauxtina!

Fauxtina. That's the first time I've heard that one! Only time will tell for sure. But I know this much. I don't expect that I'll go chasing for it. And generally, I find good design, even modern good design, lasts a very long time. When I looked at the O
