5130 hands down for me
Sensuous case, best ever & historic hands, brilliant in platinum, etc..
Second choice would be 5110.
The 5230 is too boxy imo.
All the very best,

PP worldtimer 5230
few weeks ago i was in Geneva and weather was freezing...therefore i looked for refuge within..... the Patek Salon. Good opportunity to see and try the new worldtimer 5230. Frankly speaking i was not stupefied by the release at Basel (1y ago). However bei...
I find this to be the best version
The "basket weave" guilloche is a wonderful throwback to a vintage pocketwatch from Patek and a pattern rarely seen in modern times. The hour hand is my favorite of all 3 variants (5110 5130 and this). And to me the size is perfect too. Last but not least...

I have to see it in the real, but I think I may well like it.
The smaller case, the better proportions... The new guilloché dial... The hands. That pleases me a lot. Best, Nicolas
5130 by a clear shot
Don\'t get the basket weave guilloche and the selected colours....smaller case, trying to look more 5110? I don\'t know....definately didn\'t have my pull out the credit card
I tried it on today too
Had a chance to try it on today too. I\'ve tried it on couple times previously and I still prefer the previous model more. In certain light conditions, it\'s more difficult to tell time maybe becoz of the grey dial.
for me....
5110 top...for many reasons 5230...just a whisker behind the 5110 with 5130 coming in behind. The 5230 comes with a great deal of flair, in my opinion, and i think captures the evolution of the WT very well. But this is a subjective issue....
to me, the 5230 is better than 5130 on one thing only.
I like 5230 because it has no crown guard which makes it look more modern. Whether you like the basket weave pattern better than sunburst is entirely up to you. IMO The 5130 scissors hands is what makes 5130 equal if to certain extent better than 5230. Bo...
The best release of Basel 2016
Last summer I went to GVA and tried 5930G, 5327G, etc... and this one, although not on my target list - but once I tried it I was sold; the case is just perfect; maybe the best calatrava case because the proportions are so spot on. Now I am waiting for th...
Personally,
I think this is one of the best Pateks currently available bar the grand complications and the 5131R (world time enamelled dial - yes I know, you all knew this! ). The basket weave has been spoken about a lot, the case design and the lugs are a work of ar...
This is the kind of reference that will need 2 visits
We often have the 5110 or 5130 in mind and this one is very different. You summed-up it right " it is obviously a straight continuation of the WT's DNA but everything has changed" People I think will just need time to go for it as it is a little beauty. I...
