PP 5110P
Great pics. I am also a proud owner of the PP 5110p but purchased mine as a previously owned watch. I would like to be able to switch the leather band for a bracelet as the leather will sweat in summer when I do most of my travelling. I am also the owner of PP 3170/1A, 5140P and the hard to get 5180P.

Patek Philippe World Time 5110 P. It is time to celebrate its 8th Birhtday.
8 years! 8 years that this World Time is in my collection, now. 8 years of authentic, deep love, admiration. There is not one thing I hate or just don't like on this watch: - The size ( 37 mm ), perfect on an average sized wrist like mine, and very " à pr...
You're 100 % right !
You and me will always be OK on this statement : the PP WT is the PP to have ! Of course, it is not a very complicated watch, it doesn't cost a fortune but I don't care. But this watch has a really great charm, and if you like it, you fall in love for a w...
Of course, the beauty of a watch has nothing to see with is value and price.
That is certainly why I love this Patek so much. A watch for true lver, not for flippers. As for the time it is in my galaxy, well, it is long time I don't readt it anymore. I admire it! ;) Best, Nicolas.
Mine is congratulating yours
and my feelings towards the watch are also similar to yours. However, there is another travel watch I also felt in love with: I really do not know which one is nicer: 5110P or 5134P. My solution is to have both. They are the same size, same kind of shape,...
Kari two classic Pateks that compliment each other like
Batman and robin Or fish n chips :) You get the idea lol Best Imran
I agree
But I can't decide which one is Batman and which one is just the pal and assistant of Batman. You can't imagine how often I am having these two watches side-by-side and try to understand which one is boosting my heart more. Best, Kari
Funny, Kari, as I considered the 5134P for a long time...
I was not able to put my hands on a WT, so the 5134P was easier to find and get. But given the choice between the two, I had no doubts, the 5110P was the watch to get. The 5110P is an icon, with no true contender, IMO. But I hear you on the " practicabili...
It's not only that Nico.
The more I look at the dial of 5134P, the nicer it looks. Also the watch is very readable; I can always tell quickly what is the time. Furthermore, the movement does not feel too small but looks really nice on this 37mm watch. And in the end, the winding ...
Dje sometimes we have to sacrifice much to gain a little
If had to make a choice and be left only with one watch 5711 It's just a matter of having the mental strength to sell Best Imran :)
Yes Imran but...
Hi Imran, There's very little I'd voluntarily sale in my now reduced collection. I had a budget for the 5711 in the spring once my Polaris was sold. I was at the crossroads with PP to buy it but I was alone in fact. Things happen, or not. I'm now back on ...
I know this feeling, my friend, and I know what you mean.
The Nautilus is your dream, while the 5110, no matter its color, certainly is another great choice. The 5110 is also an easier watch to get.... I am wishing you will find YOUR dream watch, one day. As you know, it is a matter of patience, luck, and time. ...
Well there are many watches that I'd still love to own
Hi, ....but I think I don't dream of watches anymore! I've seen them from inside..... Best my friend Dje
Agreed - the wait to pick mine up is killing me
Nicolas, Yet another great post from you on this watch - and fabulous pictures again. I am also celebrating an eight year anniversary of sorts with it; I first tried one on in NYC in 2004 and it's weighed on my mind ever since - after all this time, I fin...
With pleasure, Simon!
I will welcome yours with great pleasure. Pleasure.... Smething you will feel for many years. I envy you, as it reminds me the very first moments, intense, I felt with MY watch on the wrist! All the best. Nicolas
Happy birthday with your 5110p
I have come so close on this many times But always eluded me I'm happy to enjoy yours :)) Best Imran
Well,, you found another beautiful solution, my friend.
A solution i hope to be able to see it in the flesh soon! Best, Imran. Nicolas.
Patek 5110P is a magic piece!

A superb family you have here, Fabios...
But the 5110P is really shining, among them! Best, and thanks for voicing in! Nicolas
5110P
Dear Nicolas, great post like always. Happy birthday to your worldtimer. I acquired my 5110P back in 2007 and I can still recall that I was really happy on the way for pick up. Still the watch remains my favorite. Superfine, elegant, understated and very ...
Juste two words : THANK YOU !
Thank you for bringing this model to my knowledge on the web. Thank you for having shared your time to show me this beauty in flesh. Thank you for your awesome pictures which really reflect the attracting power of this watch. Thank you for your communicat...
Those kind of posts ...
are one of the reasons why I love to be a Purist and to spend lots of time here. Love & passion! Nicolas, thanks! "the feeling of the pusher at 10" was the reason what kept me away several times. Sometimes I think it was the wrong decision and it is s...
Give it a second chance, Oliver. That watch is a monument.
And yes, I would well see you with a 5110 on your wrist... ;) Best, and thanks for the kind words.
I was very close more than twice ...
and even the budget was allocated, but at the end I never jumped on it ... :-( "Pusher" - I asked for 100% and that is (probably) not always very clever, if you forget about beauty & love. Imagine a woman which is 100% perfect, isn´t it boring?! :-) O...
You can't compare a perfect watch to a perfect
woman! When a watch is over 100 years old, it's called vintage. I love vintage watches in great condition but like to have my women relatively "fresh". Best, Kari
Still would compare it ...
as age is not a flaw to me. To be dull, stupid, ignorant ... that are flaws to me. Perfection - it is easier with watches, because you can have (much) more than one ... :-) Oliver
There are only four Patek Philippe watch models
that both the current Mrs MTF and I like but we only have two of them. Your World Time 5110P is one of the two 'missing' models and the other is an impossible-to-obtain limited edition Geneva-boutique only Chronograph in Officer's Case (who can remember t...
Not that one?
I am losing millions of brain cells per week so memory is foggy. I recall some 5 years ago, Patek Philippe issued a small run (12 or 25 pieces?) Officer's Case, white dial, NO strike mechanism NOR perpetual calendar. I seem to remember it was the thinnest...
FOUND: Ref 5959
I did a search of my old report and I did mention the reference number...I had forgotten that I did. :-) The marvel of the SEARCH button revealed the ultra-thin mechanical manually wound movement; Caliber CHR 27-525 PS; Split seconds monopusher chronograp...
Melvyn, especially for you ...
and your wife: (Psst, there are more at the PuristS :-) ) Cheers, Oliver ...
The Ref. 3960 ...
is more than lovely and a watch that I hunted for years (another story), but there is no chronograph and Melvyn mentioned one. Am I wrong? Oliver
Such a lovely watch ... great pictures...but I wish...
it was easier to read the time. Because of my frequent travels, I purchased my 5110G also 8 years ago as a daily wear. Unfortunately it has been sitting in its box for some time. It is a gorgeous but awkward watch for daily use. The primary reason is the ...
For an ease look at the right time, I
suggest you, to do as me on my 5110R, have a first look to the circle ring of hours. This solves me many times. Enjoy wearing yours more and more. Thanks Nicolas for this superb post and sharing your well-known love for your 5110P. Cheers, patrickh
Thanks for your input, Jim.
Is the 5110 a legible watch? Certainly not. Is is catastrophic? No, I don't think so. Do we buy this kind of work of Art to be legible? Not me, at least. It is a long time I stopped considering legibillity as a most imprtant criteria for me, as I prefer t...
Wonderful watch, excellently photographed!
Nicolas, I am happy for you: what is more satisfying than enjoying from something over such a long period of time! Your 5110 shall give you many more years of pleasure!
Well, 8 years is a remarkable longevity for watch nuts like us.
I have to confess that I have several watches whch are in my collection for such a long time... And all keepers.... Best, and thanks for your comments, Anatol. Nicolas
Thanks for your article about this great watch.
The PT version is my fav 5110. Due to the contrast between the central part and the cities ring, a smaller diameter works better and it is the reason why, with such configuration, I prefer the 5110. But I don't feel the same with WG and PG versions: I muc...
Yes, but the folding buckle of the 5130 has a major issue...
It looses the Calatrava Cross for an ugly " TAG " shaped one... Another point I agree with you is that I too would have preferred to see the dial of the 5131 on the 5110... These Patek WTs have no cotender in my book. They are THE WT, by excellence. Well,...
Great 40th birthday gift to yourself I presume..
...Nice watch and I agree, a perfect world timer... Especially the dial and case. Would prefer an earlier one...but in my dreams Best Hans
A wonderful watch...
Which you have enjoyed for many years. One of my favorites as well. May it give you many more years of pleasure. tempusfugit
It will be soon time to give it its first service.... Maybe for our 10th B.DAY?
Thanks, Tempusfugit, for your nice thoiughts. Best, Nicolas
Happy Birthday 5110P!
Thank you very much Nicholas to share with us your emotions. A wonderful piece to have , a magic one. I'm glad to be a lucky owner. Fabio
A real beauty and what a great memory you have for the
Most classic and balanced PP worldtimer ever made. Thanks for a captivating article. Best, Tim
No, I can tell you there a not many watches in my collection for which I can
Remember the date, the exact date. This one, the U.N Sonata, the Breguet Type XX Salmon Dial, the JLC MMR Ti, and a few Rolexes are in this category. I think this is the same for all of us...Don't you think? Best, and thanks for your kind words, my friend...
Happy Anniversary Nico!
Everytime you post your great pics of your great 5510 Pt, it reminds me of my silly stupid crazy decision when I sold my 5110 in R version. It was great but I wanted to finance another PP piece and I had no other choice (unless not buying the other one). ...
Thanks for your input, Mike.
Yes, sometimes, we have to let one go to fund another one. This is not too sad, because it also helps us to realize how much we miss a watch. I am sure that you will find another one, Mike. This is a piece which deserves some serious consideration. All th...
A watch of exception
This 5130 trully has its own place in Patek's collection, it's a watch we can identify from the first look. It's original in its capability to combinate the WT complication, the decoration, the fine finishing and the elegance. I understand this watch shou...
Well, it is a 5110P, not a 5130, but you got the essential:
The PP WT, any PP WT is a watch t get! :) Best, Mark, and thanks for your input. Nicolas
Yes I realized my mistake afterwards :p
... and realized deeper what were the differences and how special and finally different each WT are. Homework to do! Best, Mark
Yes, they are really different, with their own appeal and charm.
That is such a delicious homework to do... ;) Best, Nicolas
This is Love Nicolas, real Love and the watch.....
very beautiful, I am particularly fond of the mouvement, the nicest automatic I have seen. Joyeux anniversaire. Cheers, Francois
Though personally I have no requirement........
To own or wear a World Time piece. I have over the years read many threads praising the beauty & practicality of these watches. And in your words Nicolas, I can hear nothing but admiration for it. In our world of continually looking for "The Perfect W...
Actually, you need such a watch....
It will make you travel without moving from your house! ;) Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
LOL.............
I would much prefer to do the actual travelling. Preferably as a holiday :)
Happy birthday also from me!
Indeed: one of the best Pateks made. Size, complication and design: perfect! Best Moritz PS So perfect that you broke the your golden rule not to have the same movement in collection, if I am not mistaken?
Thanks, but I didn't break my golden rule...
I sold the 5712 and the 5130... For this very same reason. Best, Nicolas
Happy Anniversary Nicolas! I´m so happy for you...
... celebrating being in love after 8 years as in the first day! I was privileged to put this very same watch on my wrist, during our meeting in Paris, and I told you it was my "dream watch". I´m sure I´ll own one, in a not so far future (I hope!). Just l...

A bracelet in platinum will cost you an arm. Ask to your AD if it is possible.
I would suggest you to put your 5110 on a Nato strap. The outcome is surprising, and it will cost you almost nothing! Best, Nicolas.
I asked my AD the same question but for the 5131...
... and the answer was NO as the bracelet does not fit on the lugs of the watch
Isn't there a WT with a bracelet? I think I saw a jewelled WT with a bracelet.
Or am I totally wrong? Colored gold, if I remember well...And on a 5130, well the equivalent ref of the 5130, but ina jwelled version? Best, Nicolas
I am wondering ...
what is the difference between the case of the 5130 and the 5131 (except the engraving), because there is/was one and it looks like this: Best, Oliver ...
Aah, that was the brown dial I did see. Not jewelled, then.
Thanks for your answer and information. Best, Nicolas
Shanghai Patek Maison told me that ...
... although 5130/1G-11 has bracelet instead of strap, ADs will not sell bracelets to owners of 5130 with straps. The spare bracelets at ADs are only for the 5130/1G-11 for repair and service.
Sounds weird!
I got a bracelet to my 5120. I also checked if it would be possible to get a bracelet for my wife's 4897G. Geneva said "yes" even this watch is not made as a bracelet version. As far as I know, this kind of cases are decided by Geneva. If your sales perso...
Hi Nicolas, I was using a little of nice free time looking for a..
PP 5110P and I just happened to drop on your post and beautiful pictures. Geez, this watch is really beautiful, I hope to have the chance to see it in the metal when in Europe. 4th of November you said? Ok I'll try for a 4th of June, a birthday present:) ...
