Can I cheat?
I would prefer the dial of the 5230 with the case of the 5130m as I really like the crown guard. Patek, please make it so.
Patek Philippe 5130R / 5230R.
As a fan of world timers, I paid a lot of attention to the modern Patek ones. From the 5110 in 2000, to the latest reference, the 5230. I own the 5110P, used to own for several years the 5130G, and, from time to time, I can see the 5230, in both G and R v...
Thanks Nico for this nice joint shot and comparison! I've always been a fan of the 5130 but I'm getting to like the 5230 more and more... For now, my vote is still slightly for the 5130 :-)
The 5230 in general is probably not as popular yet, but I feel we are getting there. I'm also looking forward to the P -- both for the 5230 and (by the time I'm old) 5231

Both beautiful
For me the 5130 is more under radar elegant and 5230 more in your face elegant. 5130 more laid back soft touch and 5230 more sharp dressed. It really comes down to need. I personally favor the 5130 as a lifestyle companion but if I was looking for somethi...
5230 for me
I own the G, and I hope to add the 5231J. Just declaring my bias right away there. To be honest, I never noticed the longer lugs of the 5130, but that is a big plus for the 5230, in my opinion. All of this comes down to preference as both are very well ma...
I highly appreciate this world time comparisons, since my next one on the list is one of this references. Still debating between the 5110, 5130 .
In this case I’ll choose the 5130 just for legibility. We had the P comparison now the R so next one is J ? Thank you my friend 👍
Thank you Nicolas for raising this issue
When the 5130 was released even though the size looked more modern, personally I did not like the hours hand, it was always preventing me from liking this watch (and still) I believe that the dial as well as the hours hand on the “new” 5230 are nicer. As ...
in this case... the 5230 wins
i prefer the 5230 over the 5130 because of the guilloche finishing & the case (size & shape). but if the 5110 was put into the comparison=5110 > 5230 > 5130 the guilloche, case size, shape & proportion are just perfect IMHO cheers
That is a close race....
In line with my expectations even if I had thought 7-4 more likely... so far...
My Opinion Only...............
The 'J' is the color of most of my cuff links...… If I owned the 'P', or any of the cloisonné WT's they would have equal space in my heart!!
5130 for me because of the...
scissors hands and better contrast of the guilloche dial !
