Patek Philippe

If you go to an AD and want to buy a 5131G, remember to ask them to show you several examples. Why? Look at the picture I took yesterday... If the picture would be good enough, you could see that the dial of the watch on the left was made after some bush ...  

But I am afraid in most of the ADs, it will be difficult to have even one piece of 5135G in stock. Best and enjoy your new watch! Henry

I'm sorry - I felt like joking. That's the influence of 5131G. I'm so bloody happy and in a good mood. Even I'm in Paris... Best, Kari

..... the dial maker is also a meteorologist ?? And he was thinking in temperature when doing the dial instead of geography. Just to be clear, i dont think anyone can control the outcome of something which goes into a 2000 degrees kiln, can YOU ?

But I did not know that the dials vary so much and now I love the watch even more. And my dial is just perfect for me. This watch is a real piece of art but unfortunately pictures tell very little about the dial. The depth of the colors, brightness of the... 

This is one of my all time favourite watches high on my wish list. The Enamel dial and colours together with white gold is the best combination (better than RG in my opinion). Congratulations- may it bring you health and happiness (which is seems to have ... 

the watch made me very happy. My wife was also very happy and she loves the watch so much that she ordered two straps on her measurements. Is that good or bad, I don't know. Best, Kari

.... and BRAVO! I think you are looking it with the right eyes. Meaning the right state of mind :) Happy to see that my crazy stories have found an echo. Its a painting, and it needs to be admired as such. Will post a high resolution of mine, we can compa... 

I will also take some high resolution pictures with a professional level macro. But I know already that the weather in Australia just like I want to see it, just like I imagined it would be. Best, Kari

...  

Australia is cold and there are huge forestry fires around Moscow. That happens every year (since revolution of 1917). Furthermore, Finland is green. Anyhow, even yours is wonderful, the feeling of north European autumn in mine is unbeatable! Best, Kari

The millions of Indians gave the continent of Asia a lovely rich brown colour And at least you can see ayres rock on Australia :)

He's a very tricky guy. I heard that he's hanging around London's Soho and Mayfair. Often also seen with beautiful ladies like yesterday. From the Grey Dealer you can always buy a 5131G; normally he's having at least two on his wrist. So 5131G is the nigh...  

...PP Global Warming Limited Edition model!!

the global warming does not worry us at all. The rest of the world might be frying while we are skiing. And my house is 360 meters above sea level. I call my dial the Happy Man's Dial. Best, Kari

And don't worry about second one - I will grab it without any problems:))))

The Gray Dealer! But I'm sure you will get yours when the time is mature. While waiting for that, enjoy your beauties. Best, Kari

It was well done because I did not plan to get this before next year. And just a week before I heard about the arrival of my 5131G, I spent all my money plus emptied the pockets of my 13-years old daughter to my 5140P. So it was well done to spend the amo...

My 5134P is a real Travel Watch. In my books 5131G is a miniature piece of art. I could not afford a real painting of reasonable size and the walls of my home are narrow and low... So I am just happy looking at my left wrist. Best, Kari

Congratulations. A true beauty. I was staring so hard at the watch I almost missed the cuff links. I have not seen that style before. They are beautiful.

these are mandatory. Except Golden Ellipse and Nautilus have their own. Best, Kari

Interesting thoughts :p If someone can gather at least 2 in the mean time, it is an interesting way to chose the right one. Congratulations for this rare beauty among all Patek's collection. Cheers, Mark

The Grey Dealer did not let me take the Australian bush fire one. 'Best, Kari

Im very happy for you kari. You deserve such a beautiful piece. One again, my felicitations on your 5131G!

I'm sure your turn will come. Then we have to meet and compare... Best, Kari

Stunning 5131 my friend. Congrats on the beauty. Enjoy!

I have been joking a lot. But I must testify that from the pictures 5131G looks like nothing special. But when you put one on your writ, the symphony orchestra starts to play! Best, Kari

It looks great! Enjoy! BTW, the dials all differ and that's what makes each piece special. In the picture you transmitted, as nice as your watch is the "other" dial is just as nice in my opinion. They both look incredible! You said that you packed a magni...  

and I have been looking my dial to the extend that my eyes are painful. I have heard that in some years also R and P will be made. Is your arm long enough for all four? Best, Kari

I'm sure I'll apply for whatever Patek manufactures in this reference

Wear and enjoy in good health. H.

You are also very fortunate to have an AD with more than 1 piece for you to choose from Many ADs in Asia have never received a single piece. Good luck with the 5131J Cheers, Gordon

I mentioned 5131J. Furthermore, I am afraid that The Gray Dealer is also hunting for the J. Best, Kari

I enjoy it all the time. I'm writing one word, checking the dial. Writing the second word, checking the dial. Writing the third word, checking the dial. That's the reason why my replies are screwed. Best, Kari

your PP family picture now that would be something dwell upon Cheers D

Will soon travel 1,200 km through the white and blue country. A report will follow! Best, Kari

I suppose. Also: "baking" or "burning" coloured enamel (porcelain) in this case will lead to variations anyway. But very observant from you and thanks for the advice. Enjoy this piece and your 5140p ... you lucky, lucky man. Best Moritz

The real charm of 5131 is in the fact that the dials are so incredibly different. Like somebody noticed, there is also the Climate Change version but that's in the disposal of the Gray Dealer. I guess every 5131 owner must love his version. At least I lov... 

First of all the watch on the left was not new but either a sample or pre-owned, the strap is not new based upon the curve... secondly, no AD in the globe has two to choose from! I call Bullsh*t! ;)

that I was joking. Why? Because I was joking. In reality I met the Gray Dealer in the night of London and he was also wearing a 5131G. I think that proves the fact that there are huge amounts of these watches around... Best, Kari

I figured you were joking.... I am putting my application in for a 5131G this summer. I just got my 5th Patek in 18 months, I am due for a treat like yours... wear it in good health...

and the best of luck with your 5131. Palmbeachguy... Sounds like you will order the summer version. Best, Kari

(There are a bit over 460 Patek dealers. Normally there is one 5131G to be seen in Geneva Salon. Best, Kari

I'm not a collector and thus my watches hardly form a collection. I'm just a simple guy who likes to own a couple of nice watches and think every morning hard "which one to wear in order to have a nicer day". Best, Kari

I was interested to learn about the differences that can be achieved while the dial is being heated. What is already a very special piece, instantly becomes unique :) When do you hope to get the 5131J? Enjoy your visit to Paris.

However, I just hope to get it, nothing else. I went to ParisSalon today wearing 5131G and said "one 5131J, please". They thought I'm nuts! But it's great to hope... Best, Kari

I had a conversation with someone at Patek and they said they knew of no one Patek who has ever been given both a J & a G as well. There are people who have both, but they had to buy one on the secondary market...

It is most unlikely that I would get the second watch from Patek. But I am dreaming to get all four even just two has been published. So it is most likely that I go to the grave owning one but I would not say "only one". I am very happy and continue dream... 

I only purchase watches from Authorized Dealers. You can't really be sure what you have otherwise. MST Sorry about the quality of the picture. Nice watches, inexpensive camera! ...  

So did you acquire your 5131G from the secondary market or an AD? MST

I got my 5131G from an AD at list price. No discounts but fantastic service. Furthermore, I would never acquire a current production watch from the "gray market" and pay a premium for the same. I have bought some pre-owned pieces but those are discontinue... 

I think the club is pretty small, but it's NOT impossible to get BOTH a G and J from an AD. I don't think there are any rules, but I'm sure continuing to buy Patek's will help you ascend up the waiting list for a 5131J. BTW, I actually like my J better th... 

but I will not buy so many Pateks. There are financial reasons but also the fact that I have nearly all the models I want to have just now. There are models that would be nice to own but I don't have the "burn" inside to get those. Probably the 175th Anni... 

We'll both have to see what's offered as time goes on. MST

which kind of people you know. Just wondering ... if you will ever get a serious offer for a "J" version ... :-) :-) At least the "G" version looks good on your wrist! Congrats! Oliver

I know many kinds of people, bums, a moderator from Paris... and some normal people, too. Best, Kari

It starts to be expensive only when the dreams are about to come true. If my dream about 5131J will not come true, my kids will also get butter on top of their toasts. Best, Kari

... a purist needs to have a 5131J for a longer, better and healthier life !!!

buying Pateks. And that's just a good thing. Best, Kari

I wish you will get yours rather sooner than later and at list price. I can assure you that 5131 is worth waiting. Best, Kari

I just happen to see this gem 3 days ago, here next to my new LOVE :-) ...
