Hi All, Although I have been to many GTGs at various cities, thus far this Worldtime theme GTG took the cake and was simply EPIC ! Without looking at close-ups, how many can you name ?
The difficult ones to name naturally are the sealed watches.
We had 2 sets of 5131s ! Which one(s) do you like best or more & why ?
Now we are seeking others to join on this theme. Please PM me if you are interested !
Bonus point for guessing how many of us at the GTG.
The FAN !

giveway for three PuristS ?? Are you an investigative horolgoical reporter ?
Rare sightings....and no surprise they belong to a small group of maybe <5 ppl my guess.
The sealed ones may be Beijing or NY 2017 version.
hi clueless_collector, you are not...
clueless becasue they were and yes NY 2017 and Shanghai (not Beijing) 2012 Maison !
Got it! I didn't know that! Thank you for that detail! I like knowing this kind of detail from every jurisdiction!
Here in San Francisco all the restaurants were closed except for take away. They're starting outdoor dining now, but no indoor dining. I have a meeting tomorrow in a restaurant. But we're not dining at the restaurant, it's just a meeting space. But we all...
This is incredible Gordon!
Now to the impossible question (I hope you will answer, even if it is difficult/impossible) - which is your favorite - if you could only have ONE? I have been thinking a lot about this question. Hope you are well my friend. Best Christian
Hi Christian, for me the 5131....
G is my favorite because it has Asia on the enamel map, Hong Kong on the 24 hour ring, and it has the best color graduations !!!
Incredible GTG Gordon, this is easily the "world" record for this theme!! :-) That 5130 Munich, however, as well as the two NY editions need to be opened and enjoyed :-)
I think I can even spot a 5131P on a light brown strap -- never seen that great looking choice before! Was it only you, Fram and Cbb or someone else was in attendance as well? ;-)) Thanks for an epic photoreport!
Hi Fab, good eye on spotting the 5130 Munich ! Unfortunately ....
Cbb and Fram did not attend. If they did, it would have been more "EPIC" than my GTG !
not just me for the GTG ! I contributed only my....
5131 set and provided the least watches !
Now you can strap 24 World Times to your wrist at once!
This way you can always just look to the 12 o'clock position instead of having to search around the dial, and no worries for inconsistencies with Daylight Savings Time, 30 minute time zones, etc... genius!
Out of this world collection by you guys!
I am absolutely speechless, it’s joyous to see people still getting together and enjoying each other’s company and time Stay safe and thanks for sharing -Alan
impressive ! i can imagine this would have been a great GTG...
absolutely gorgeous watches....my choice would be the 175 anniv WT in WG and all the enamel dial WT - down right gorgeous works. Best, mahesh.,
Interesting
Without being disrespectful, I don't quite get the plastic bags and paper boxes, must be a patek thing but looks like it was fun nonetheless!
Hi Arronax, collector friends bought sealed watches from the secondary market and
just kept them in the box. They do wish that these pieces were not sealed.
Bloody hell Gordon!
I knew you had many enamel world timers but I had not realised it was that many!!!
You really know how to party Gordon. Best wishes to you all world time collectors. 😊
Chiming in with my 5130g. Cheers friends and your host Gordon. 🍻 Geross. ...
Wow
And what is even better to see is that you can have such a gathering outside an AD or a bank vault .... I guesss there is not so many places in the world where you can have so many expensive items in one place... Very impressive
no cornering yet ! perhaps with
cbb at the GTG then we can say the market is concerned !
Group needs a 5531!
We need someone with a 5531 NYC edition or Geneva edition to go! Then the group will be “complete”!!
yes, you are totally correct about the 5531 and that is what we talked about. Truth is that ...
none of us qualify for the 5531 ! :-(
we debated whether we should show in the forum the sealed watches ! As your humble Patek moderator, I thought that we should not...
hide the unsealed pieces ! Hope you can understand.
Impressive ... lots of passion ...
on the pro side, but I also see too much sealed ones :-( Any wristwatch needs to get wriststime, it´s a must in my book. From what I could see, my favourite was still missing ... as I couldn´t see a Geneva bark ... ;-)
Good one. Don’t agree with you.
You could say the same with the 5531 nice watch buy why did they put a useless MR on it 😂😂😂😂
Do you prefer this 1415-1 from 1940 😏
Only 1 made so maybe hard to get. I must say in my opinion the chronograph function is not very useful at all in any watches. But i like them but never use the function. When i use my 5930 i just turn on the chronograph and leave it on 👍 ...
I saw these images on Instagram! i should have known it came from WPS
What a powerhouse!!
That's insane! And even more when I read you were only 3!!!
Simply WOW! Very very impressive
