I have unleashed a monster here. But in truth DV killing Ben did the latter a big favour: as Ben duly warned him just before the fatal swipe, he became much more powerful in death. Am writing to PP with a request for a PuristPro special edition with "Hoth" "Tattoine" "Bespin" etc around the dial...
Patek Philippe: comparing world times
Inspired by Nicolas's recent post of my 5110G, I decided to compare the two WTs in my collection. It is hard to imagine two more different watches. One is refined and the other more exuberant. Both so different...just thought it would be interesting to po...
Hi Baron, they are fraternal twins with the same DNA but different ...
personalities ! Both characters are loved by us Patek fans. Have you seen the secret rainbow trait of your WT moon ? Cheers, Gordon
the anniversary WT has got the nimbus of a top collector's item ...
... and is one, actually. However, a 5110 WT is a very elegant daily companion and less fragile in construction and therefore the preferred choice for daily use.
i think combining moonphase and world time was genius....
.....moonphase carries with it an air of romanticism and mystique. Global travel also has that romanticism in it. Basing the watch with that black dial just tops it for me...it is my favourite WT of any.
I love them both...
...but have a soft spot for the anniversary because it is so out of character for PP: if Darth Vader wore a watch, it would be this one. For similar reasons I like the 5712: if Captain Nemo wore a watch that would be it (despite only 60m WR)...(note pleas...
i always felt he got a bad rap....
....he traded his soul in order to save the woman he loved....he was misled by a manipulative overlord....and in the end he saved the galaxy by killing the evil emperor. Hero in my book.
Lord Vader's first breath under the mask was one of the best cinema moments in decades!
A simple but ever so spectacular moment
D....
As I understand and can appreciate the 5575... I am having a hard time picturing me wearing the watch... While with the 5110... No problem at all! Best Blomman
Hm, I will have to speak with your son...
Hope he will let me do the wrist test! Best Blomman
Both are superb.
The Anniversary more so. Darth killed Obi Wan Kenobi. I'll never forgive him for that.

The anniversary edition needs a bit more specialness.
Maybe an engraved memoriam on its dial to the 175th anniversary? Just kidding. Personally, I prefer the elegance and simplicity of the 5110. Cheers, John
Take those 2, mix them up...
add a chrono and a zest of blue.... and you get the new 5930G ) Wear them both in good health, great watches!
Hi Baron! Two fantastic photos of 2 superb watches. For me,
I find the 5575G to be a more interesting and alluring watch, especially during daylight hours when the stars and moon are brilliant and captivating. In a darker setting I find those elements and the hands get a little lost. Notwithstanding that, IMHO the...
yes..."spectacularly right"
I agree.....one of my favourite PP to wear....when i get a chance
It is indeed interesting to see what different interpretations Patek can make of the WT.
The 5110/5130 on the one hand, the 5230 being another very different evolution, or this 5575 which is the most different one. Of course the 5131 is another very appealing and distinct interpretation of the famous reference. I must say I love the way black...
