5127 is a keeper
The 5130, although with a lovely globe hour hand and hence looking like scissors, is simply too big.
It is more a casual elegance watch with a sporty touch, in white metal in particular.
The pusher is useless.
The only real reason to go for the 5130: if you are as romantic as the famous French lawyer who likes to travel in his imagination around the world,
looking at this watch.
The 5127 is the all rounder here: formal and casual, but certainly with a lack of va-va-voom compared to the WT.
Still: 5127 my choice.

Trade 5127R plus cash for 5130R?
Hi guys, Would you trade the 5127R plus cash for 5130R? I know one is a complication the other is not, my question is mainly about aesthetics. The case of both watches is different, although 5127 is 2 mm smaller. Thanks for your input! ...
5130
In fact, both are great watches. 5127 is very classic, while world-timer is a big specialty for Patek. Both look very pretty on the wrist. If the 37mm case is not too small for you, I will personally recommend 5110. This being said, 5130R is still a great...
I would do so, but I am biased, as I am a big fan of WTs.
And I don't like dates... But you might have a different opinion. Best, Nicolas
My opinion, for what it's worth, would be no to the trade.
Not that I don't like the 5130 but I find this watch one which I would wear occasionally whereas the 5127, I would wear far more frequently. Now, with respect to the appearance, the 5130 is far more interesting and that is what is appealing to me but I al...

No ...
but I could imagine to trade it for the smaller one 5110 ... Good luck with your decision! Oliver
Definitely trade!
5127 is a bit boring for my tastes, plus, if I wanted a refined Calatrava, I would rather go the 5396, thats definitely a keeper. 5130 although may seem big, actually wears smaller due to the rounded bezel. I have a small wrist and it works well for me. A...
No brainer
Patek will always make a basic Calatrava and you can always pick one up new or used. The world timer is a different story. Patek stopped production for decades before bringing back the 5110. If that happens again it will be much harder to get one. Plus th...
Think it over.
The WT is a classic PP, no question. But the 5127 is the epitome of what made Patek Patek. A simple watch of unassailable classicism, understatement, and perfect beauty. It would seem like a no-brainer to trade for the WT because it's an up-trade in terms...
Unless .......
.....you have a strong attraction to WT regardless 5110 or 5130, it might be more prudent not to make the swap. However I can understand that without really owning the WT, you might never know how you actually feel. Tough decision..Good luck !
I wouldn't do the trade.............
To my way of thinking the 5127 is what a Patek Calatrava is all about Stunning, simple, practical, and can be used a lot more on a daily basis than a W/T.
THANK YOU!
Hi everyone, Thank you all for making me think differently about this. There are many pro and conc to consider here. I am afraid that the delta in cash will be so large that I will need to through in a Rolex in a mix to make this work. Still have not deci...
my vote is a definite yes to the WT trade
Hi carnegie, My vote is a definite yes to the WT trade based on my experience with a PP WT 5131 which uses the same movement as the 5130. Also the pusher is great as one push moves 3(!!!) functions, the scissors for the time, city and 24 hour dial !! So w...
