Concerning the 5124, I've tried on the J variant only. It's a very nice watch and I think the G might be even more appealing. That said, the case is a bit large for the 25-21 caliber: I think it looks better in the case of the 5098. Also, I'm not very fon
The 5100J has been an important step in the growing of my knowledge and the maturing of my choice, but this 5098P feels like it was made for me. I love every aspect of it and it is pure joy to wear. As for the 5105P, I hope I’ll be able to see one in real
and there wasn’t any judgement in my question. On the contrary I find it very interesting to have the feedback of a true owner, especially as I’m quite attracted to the 5100J (which, hopefully, has no such legibility issue, its dial being matte and the ye
Such a beautiful watch! Thanks for sharing your photo. But of course your FPJ minute repeater is an absolute stunner and parting with your 5100J to acquire it would have been very understandable. I’m also glad that our feelings converge concerning the J.

Two months ago, I dedicated a thread to the rose gold variant of this model, ref. 5100R-001 . But, after having discovered the photos below, showing the grainy texture of the white dial of the yellow gold variant, ref. 5100J-001 , I wonder if it's not eve
My 5100J has been sitting in PP NY since March of this year. At first, I was told *June delivery*.....then *August*.....then *October*. Last month they finally admitted that they have not been able to receive one of the 2 barrels, that needs to be replace
The case of Patek Philippe's ref. 2554, with its angular flared sides resembling the wings of a manta ray, hence its moniker, is one of the most sensuous I know. It was the direct source of inspiration of the later ref. 5100, made to celebrate the year 20
I can confirm you that it’s actually quite tiring to fully wind the watch. I believe it takes 2 mins for the task. And the winding mechanism is pretty stiff so to me it’s not the most enjoyable work in life! But what can you complain for such a beauty?
To celebrate the arrival of the new millennium in the year 2000, Patek Philippe created a limited edition series of 3,000 watches under the ref. 5100. Of these 3,000 watches, only 1,500 were made in 18K yellow gold with white dial, 300 in platinum with bl
