I am a big fan of 5100 and my choice of version was P
The movement is amazing, the dial is "deep" and great plus the case design is unique.
I took black for two reasons: I always prefer platinum to WG and blue dials are too common, even fashionable. Black can take the time.

Patek 5100G versus 5105P
I'm split between these two watches. I'm wondering which watch fellow purists will prefer and why? I have been looking for a rectangular watch and I kind of narrow it down to these two pieces. I do love the 5101P but I already have a tourbillon, so it's g...
Hi cl I can’t really answer your question
Since I have never seen the5100 but as you know I have the 5105 and am really happy with it Largish case (46mm ) Legible dial great design Lovely case back with the 9-90 What’s not to love They do come up at auction occasionally and I suspect private sale...
Interesting you mention Originality.
I have never thought of that before because I was intrigued by the approach of 5105P and its 9-90 movement and totally forget that 5100 movement is from scratch. DO you know if 5100 movement the last real rectangular movement of Patek, up till now? Is it ...
Didn't they destroy the tools...
to make 5100 again? So that's limited to the case and not the movement? Good info. Thanks Nicolas.
I would go for the 5100 because it is the ...
original LE ! The 5100G is nice but the heft of the P is excellent ! Pricing aside , you should also consider the 5100P for various other reasons. Cheers, Gordon
I love the heft of platinum...
only reason I didn't consider 5100P is because I'm not exactly into black dial.
Phillips have both in their Hong Kong sale So you can decide
Or not and buy both ....😄

Comparing this 5105P to a vintage Patek, what makes the new one special? They had made so many 9-90 movements and if one finds it desirable, they can always seek the vintage pieces. Is there something about this that makes it even more desirable? I know y...
Well certainly nothing different about these 9-90
I love the platinum case I love the display back The dial design is also wonderful and since I collect 9-90 movements I thought this would make a great addition to my collection J
Indeed a great addition...
I just realize that a platinum case vintage piece can be REALLY expensive, plus you can't see the movement.
Two very different pieces
the 5105 had the Vintage calibre 9’90” One of yhe best ever movements and a Vintage inspired case The 5100 has a modern 10 day movement and possibly one of my top 5 modern PP with Vintage inspired case Both are amazing One is classically sized The other h...

I agree about platinum...
As for black dial, it's just me. I think they look great but just doesn't quite fit me. I don't even wear black attire because of that. Blue is probably the new Black, I don't think they are fashionable
I have small issues with blue dials.
I believe that those are a fashion of our times. But it's just me; I might be wrong. Best, Kari
Congrats
