Exquisite!
If you can overlook the price premium for the engraved 5160 over the 5159, the case (and buckle!) decoration on the 5160 is absolutely exquisite!
But I feel regularly wearing this piece of "wrist art" will diminish its appeal by dulling the crisp detail of the engraving.
That said, it should be fully appreciated outside of the cellophane wrapping...!
Beautiful watch, and the 5016P is just teasing me.
Thank you for sharing.

My first yellow gold Patek - 5160J
I am very happy to receive my first yellow gold Patek - 5160J.
oh come on
you have got to unpack that baby and put it on your wrist for more photos !
Did you say plastic?? What plastic....
My friend like you I really thought it was plastic but NO it is NOT plastic. It is cellophane............nice one though! LOL
Please change your nick to plastic fan... I propose you a song...
Plastic fantastic lover... Fx
This is becoming a trend - only with Patek though.:)
A dedicated post to bring them out, once and for all!
Congratulations on your new 5160.
However, I was "suffocating" looking at your photos. :-) Aloha, Bob
I am happy for you, and thanks for sharing...
..., actually i don't get the avalanche of comments about plastic, etc... This is how you got it, and you will open it whenever you feel like it. Nothing wrong with that, except having to deal with frustrated watch lovers that prefer it bareback :) I shar...
open first plastic(more pictures)
I real love my first yellow gold Patek. It takes me 2 hours to take photos and post them. Enjoy my pictures ...
Hmmm, getting warmer...and nicer!
Like a flower hatching in the sun! Cheers, Francois
Good friend of 5160J
I'll wait for a special day to open the plastic to celebrate with my wife, at the monent, enjoy his good friend 5016 vs 5160, they are the same digits, just different position. ...
WOAH!!!!
the 5160 looks great and love the buckle...BUT seeing that 5016 is incredible!!! Do you wear the 5016 everyday???
quite often
I always put 5016P at my hand when I am home. I like to look at it. Sometimes, I wear it to visit AD and have a watch party.
2 different interpretations of QP, yet of the same familly
You have there 2 gorgeous watches. The MR is so nice and elegant. Your new QP has a style in commun but with a different approach. Congratulations for this and don't hesitate to come back with new pictures when you celebrate this "event". Cheers.
I surrender! A humongous congrats to this catch!
What a lovely, lovely 5160 and in YG! That is taste, class and connoisseurship. I would go mad to own it, honestly. Show it in its all beauty, pleeeease :-)! Moritz
show it later
I am in Vancouver, Canada, but my 5160J is in Taiwan. I'll open the plastic and take more photos in the fall when I return to Taipei.
family party
4937R is my 10 year daughter favorite watch. for the monent, mother wears the watch. I think 5160J is good for both man and woman. ...

One of the rarest and most labour intensive PPs out there
I was in PP in London and had the chance to handle a very generous collectors 5160G. Let me tell you something - the detailing and engraving of the case, bezel and back is absolutely incredible. This is bloody rare piece and from what I was told, the engr...
ooops
I forgot to add - Congratulations to the owner on such an individual and bespoke purchase! Beautiful. I also understand the reluctance to remove from the seal, the case is just insanely detailed and it's going to take some guts to wear this piece - scratc...
agree
That is one of the reaons that I don't remove the plastic. Hard to take care, but enjoy to look at it. I waited from 2010 to get this baby.
Gurantee paper
My AD told me gurantee paper will come from Patek directly, not from him. Therefore, I don't have the paper yet.
woodcarving
I like woodcarving a lot. That is why I like 5160J very much. This is my favorite chair and bed: ...
I am confused
Pardon me, but I am a bit confused. You previously posted pictures of a 5970J. So how is this your first yellow gold Patek? http://patek.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-11/pi-5188678/ti-776678/s--39/
I forget
I forget I had a 5970J before. I must be too old. Maybe I should call it the first favorite yellow gold Patek watch.
back picture
I don't have my watch with me now. I find these pictures from internet ...
i would love to see the back side of your YG
i love YG b/c of the contrast between the case and the movement.
show you later
I live in Vancouver now, but my watch is in Taipei. I'll show you when I return to Taipei on Dec, 2012. I have hard time to decide to go G or J, but I am sure I like the J better now.
