Exactly! Patek's intrinsic DNA emanates WT's foremost. If one is to own Patek, she/he should go into WT's first to grasp what PP is about...
Patek Philippe World Time 5130G.
Two fresh pictures of this reference I took some weeks ago, to change a bit from my beloved 5110P. Best, Nicolas ...
I have a weakness for anything 5130.
The most underrated Patek in my book. Thanks for sharing!
+1, really underrated, which might be good for those collectors who still want to strike a *fantastic* deal on the secondary market... You can probably grab the entire 5130 line in exchange for a 5711/1A (the first two of the four dials, at least! ;-))
Speaking rigorously of MSRP, my favorite is of course the 5131 (P)....but I'm among those who tend to favor most 5130s over the corresponding 5110s! ;-) Cheers. ...
I know (and appreciate) your love for the 5110, but the 5130P is generally my favorite modern WT (of the non-enamel production)…larger size and a tad more informal/versatile…I would say my personal ranking is quite solidly 5130 \gg 5110 \gg 5230👍
Of course, all stunning propositions in an area of excellence for Patek, but if one has to be picky…😉🥂
About 5 years ago a dealer had me choosing btw 5711A and 5130P...
This is what I chose 😉😄 ...
Good point....Patek's production has historically been so deep and diverse that's legitimate to argue that any of Patek's areas of excellence are critical to its DNA (Rare Handcrafts, minute repeaters and other grand complications, WTs, etc. etc.)...
But it's a fact that any collector who's able to appreciate a Worldtimer (among other examples) is, as a consequence, going to capture part of the real essence of the Brand! I think it's wonderful that, at the same time that the sports models command insa...
I have found it fulfills me in a way that makes me feel good for the long term
you service eventually one watch? No problem, there is another one of its kind available, so the love does not have to suffer )
This was the unplanned bonus
Before I acquired the Jedah one, I did not realize the dials’ color is indeed different. The Jeddah is deep violet blue, while the normal Dubai version is a light blue. Both stunning in my eyes. Cheers my friend
Hi Nicolas, all Patek WTs are lovely watches !
Each series has its own uniqueness and lineage to vintage WTs. A Patek collection IMO needs to have a WT to act as a pillar (or one of the pillars). One of our favorites below. ...
When traveling, Nicolas’s permanent “make-shift” studio was simply
AMAZING in taking beautiful horological photos ! 👍
;-)) He does take amazing pictures! And I’m saying this as someone in HUGE need of a good photographer too for my own collection!😂😉
Next step should be to “poison” him to finally get a 5131! Any 5131 (or even a 5231, for that matter) would be a crown jewel in most collections, even more so for WT lovers….You’re officially in charge of making this happen my friend!😂😉🥂
Hi Nicolas, being the courier would be my pleasure in bringing Fab’s 5131P to you subject to which
room I will have the key to ! 😃
Nico picked your 5131P and
spared my quadruplets so that they can grow old together!!
The hour hand on this version always makes me think of a miniature magnifying glass.
Great photos as always, and nice to be reminded of this wondrous WT!
