This journey of 11 years (from when I first saw the 5131J when it was released) or 6 years (from the first catch) is one that I could never have dreamed of ! Each quadruplet has its own characteristics and charm and I love each equally. Having studied the...
But as I have never purchased secondhand watches before it might take some time or never happen 😏 at least I hopefully can manage to get a full set of 5231 😂 But congrats again.
I dream maybe the same dream for the 5231s. I know I would like to, anyway, whether or not I get enough for my kidneys to make this a reality is another issue entirely. I love all of these pieces, and I can only imagine your honeymoon with this set! They ...
now you're the undisputed Enamel King, Gordon, congratulations. Next....maybe whole set of the 5231, starting with the J? For me, just any one WT Cloisonne will do and fulfill my watch collecting journey.
Like Fram, I also never bought second wrist, so I might never be able to increase my own 5131 series (I only have the P), otherwise my second favorite would probably be the R. But I can only imagine the effect of seeing the whole family together --- I bet...
What a gorgeous set. Any of the four would easily make my day, or actually my month or even my year ! And thanks for this great post sharing your feelings about each.
I think you will naturally want the 5231 range too! I am contemplating on this enamel piece. Your disease is contagious!!! Lake Thun in Switzerland, The symmetrical reflection of the mountains against the water really gets me! ...
Its no small feat collecting all 4 . I hope you wear them in good health always. Collecting is a never ending journey, but along the way we reach a milestone, and this is certainly one. Sincerely H.
great comment on why ask about next task ! The joy will last for years ! Based on that thinking, I will enjoy them until my children demand to possess them. LOL !
What an achievement to land all four. Somehow, it was meant to be, knowing your love for enamel but to see it happen is so good. Also, thank you for your thoughtful post regarding the four. I will reread it many times, as I am really smitten with the WT. ...
Had my suspicions but was unsure whether you were going for the 5231J or finding a pre loved 5131J... set looks and feels more complete this way. Bravo! Superb!
Congratulations on owning the amazing quartet! I think your analysis of the merits of each is spot on. And the images are exceptional. The Lion must be very happy with all those exotic places to visit! All the best, patekova
pulled off getting the set ! Rousseau enamel lion is jealous as it must share wrist time with others. LOL ! What would you suggest in terms of which enamel watch should be worn for what occasion ? Thanks for helping to settle a family feud !
What an amazing set! The pursuit of the 5231 is definitely on your list now! Seems like you may have half a liver still available to sell. 🤣🤣🤣 So happy for your! Keith
To have them all is a sight to behold. Only one comment if you have any money left it might be worth investing in a new phone with a camera that can do those dials justice 😉. Great to see your WT collection. Enjoy. M.
Getting one is already quite a challenge, with the Patek application process, what more with getting all four. I would say that your passion for the enamel pieces really pays off and I wish you all the best in your next horological journey. Perhaps a 5231...
Congratulation Gordon! To complete one set like 5131 is amazing and it is definitely decent gift to your children. Therefore you should not split the set and start your new challenge journey for another set like Rousseau -The Dream or something different ...
Well done, your WT of the 5131-enamel collection is definitely a sight for sore eyes. To answer the question what comes after this for you would be: the 5231-enamel collection of the WT. Congrats again.
I like that term but it's more for me, while you are the Enamel King. I like G the most becaue white metal is my thing. And I can't wait to see the launch of 5231G. Until then I'm pretty happy with my G. ...
You have a very good memories. Peony flower enamel watch is one of my family favorite watch. Sometimes I wear it although it is a lady watch. Love it a lot. I love your collection too. ...
Congrats!! Thank you for sharing your thought process on who you feel should wear/receive the watch next, that was interesting. I'm excited to see where your watch collecting journey brings you next. I love the fact it took 6 years to complete the collect...
They are all great, and love how each version shows a different map, which makes this full set more interesting than the perpetual chronos. Great journey, super hard to top this one!
kidneys and limbs to sell to collect the 5231 set assuming that my AD would still allocate any 5231 to me. Perhaps I should sell the 5131 set to collect the 5231 set ?
I first got my 5131 was the platinum version, it was a surprise. I initially apply for a rose gold version, waited for two years but no luck acquire one. One day, my AD called and asked if I am interested in the platinum instead as they had one in stock. ...
