INCOMING ! Part 2 of 2: enamel poison runs deep and it was a 5131. Before clicking to see more photos, please guess which metal of the 5131 based on β€œNorth America” shown in the head picture.

Thank you all for providing your guesses in my previous post ! The more popular guesses were 5740 and 5968, both of which I did consider. At the end, the enamel passion/addiction prevailed and drove me to get another 5131. Each 5131 is unique because of t...

Don't worry, you've still got a second kidney to give up for another watch!

Who needs kidneys? (joking of course) Very nice watches! I still find the tiger more resonating though.

Oops!

Bravo! To have the two, is a dream but quite an achievement also. The devil is in the details and having both, sheds a new light when looking at them side by side. (and you only need one kidney anyway) I cant wait to meet you and hopefully get educated on...

thought about this trade and have sought advice from Patek collectors. My answer is MAYBE, but not yet because I still have some "unfinished business". What do you think ?

I have a big problem

I am very happy you got this piece! However I must say I am not surprised as I am very certain you will complete the set of course, it's a pleasant surprise at the purchase just before the end of the year

Big Congratulations!

Extremely beautiful dial. Each of the color is well balanced and distinctive. What a great acquisition. Now you need to have the J to complete the full set. All the best and wish you wearing all your 5131's in best of health.

Fantastic piece Gordon

Congratulations and wear it in good health. Hope to see it the next time we are in each other's neck of the woods. Besides the 5131's, Patek World Time is under appreciated at the moment in my opinion. The 5110 represents decent value at the moment I thin...
