I think it's really amazing how Patek improved their enamel skills from 5131J to 5231J.
It's not only the more detailed coastlines but also the colors and color transitions. Best, V.

Thanks for a beautiful comparison my friend, 13 years (2006 to 19) are a long time but the differences are indeed remarkably evident!

It’s timeless beauty that is the appeal. This is art to be enjoyed. If you need to know the time look at your iPhone.
I meant no offense in my comment.
This is how I think about watches. It is however nice when you can have both beauty and legibility in a watch.
Hi Sam, to me, these WTs are really meant for its history while having a piece of ...
art work for the wrist. They just make me very happy while wearing them. Their legibility is actually fine IMO

pretty enough for our “pretty boy” V !! 😇 The enamel is very well done 👍 Which 5131(s) do you have again ?
