I did it with the 5109 šŸ˜€

The 5109 is completely new PP territory for me as I really didnā€™t like any of the models from the Gondolo collection that I had seen so far. Way to many Art Deco details, steps, levels and edges on the cases for me.

At a visit to Paris earlier this year I had bought a Cartier Tank Must which had opened a door to not round and Art Deco styled watches for me though. Seeing the very straight and simple case of the 5109 it immediately reminded me of the Tank and its unostentatious design.

After getting your much appreciated input on the reference Iā€™ve visited my Patek AD who is offering pre-owned or vintage timepieces every once in a while. Trying the 5109 on my 20 cm wrist it immediately felt like a perfect watch for me. The slim case sits perfectly centered and very comfortableon my wrist. Its yellow gold case with the -010 dial with a dark champagne tone to it are making the overall design of the watch even more delightful for me. Not to mention the lovely Breguet numerals in black gold of which Iā€™ve always been a great fan.

After all the 5109 has been an unexpected addition to my watch collection and I canā€™t be happier to now own such great watch šŸ˜€.

Thanks again for your friendly and informative comments in the other thread.

I love this dial treatment and that the numerals aren't extended away from each other like the more recent variants. Enjoy!

Congrats! Looks great!

Im wearing the 5109 since last Friday afternoon and can confirm itā€™s extremely comfortable. Obviously a larger wrist is getting along very well with this model. Dial and case are extremely appealing to me. Itā€™s a wonderful gem with not too much obvious op...
