Hi Patekova, thanks for sharing your 5131G for a comparison with 5231G.
Both are beautifully executed, and I love & admire them.
The 5231 has brighter colors (vibrancy to me is important for enamel dials) vs 5131, whereas 5131 has more colors and to my eyes better color gradations.
Based on the color gradations exhibited, I believe that the 5231G was likely made by the team that produced the 5131R in which different colors are more distinct, whereas 5131G was created by Anita Porchet and team with a different gradation technique.
When I get a chance to examine a 5231G in the metal, I will write a deeper review for the comparison.
Colorful watch on a rainy day.
New strap will finally arrive in October (after almost three months of wait). Best, V. ...
Beautiful photo beautiful watch. Of all the things that Patek did right on 5231G, what stands out the most for me is that, unlike 5231J where the map was
basically a better executed repeat of the 5131J map, the 5231G has a significantly different geographical area than the 5131G. Also, the offset name is very appealing and different. For comparison here is my 5131G. Enjoy your exceptional WT. Best, Patekov...
Thanks, my friend.
For all the reasons mentioned by you, I think it's a desirable WT.

Gordon, I look forward to your more in depth comparison. I wonder if you are aware, or can find out, which of the 5131s and 5231s dials Anita Porchet
was involved in executing. In the meantime, you have written a very interesting reply. Best, Patekova
