Incoming of the Ice Queen 👸...and boy is she lovely 😍
So most will know I am not the biggest fan of Worldtime pieces, although I do have several, since I just prefer Chronographs and other functions. I even prefer a GMT or Dualtime piece since I find it easier than a Worldtime.
Already owning the 5575G (Rainbow Moon) WT, I didn't see myself wanting or needing another. But when a good friend and horological brother offers you an Ice Queen, what can you do ? Honestly, if this was a G, J, or R I most likely would have politely declined BUT knowing Anita Porchet and her team do the P series for this 5131P, that really pushed me over the edge.
I am a HUGE fan of Anita, ever since her early days with Jaquet Droz, and in fact still have a couple pieces from that era. My Romain Gauthier Logical One also has a dial done by Anita so having this connection just made it a much easier decision than expected.
Enough jibby jabba, she is a beauty
I just noticed something when I put it on this morning. It was on an alligator strap prior and I had Patek change it back to the platinum bracelet. I guess the young watchmaker didn't notice that the endlinks were reversed 🤣🤣. One endlink has a cutout for the Wesselton diamond at 6 but sadly the watchmaker put it at 12 🤣🤪🤦♂️. Not a big deal and will get rectified the next chance I get to visit a salon but I spit out my tea laughing when I noticed !! Even my wife laughed 😅

You made the right choice!
That is the big daddy of the WT, expertly created dial, platinum case and bracelet and nice connection to your other pieces. Funny they messed up the end links 🤣🤣 thanks for sharing.
Sincere congrats Justin, a great addition to your superb collection!👍 By far my favorite modern Patek WT (in fact, the only one I ever asked Patek! ;-), and a truly remarkable way to wrap up the iconic 5131 in-catalog series from 2017-2021!
I just hope your friend gave you a “fair” price (market values, like for many other Pateks, are obviously above retail), but it’s indeed a gorgeous WT that I believe EVERY good collector should consider! And yes, as the only Rare Handcraft *ever* produced...
Awesome piece. Congrats on adding it to your superb collection!
And well done on your reaction to the bracelet end-piece mistake. I think I would have been upset...you took it in stride and with good humor
I just noticed France is not on the map 😱
Congratulations with this magnificent watch! Dirk
This one is amazing
Hewvy but in the good way. Super big congratulations to you my friend 👍🤗
Love this reference!!
This certainly is a very special reference to have. Congrats and wear in good health!! Your friend had a strap put on? Wow! I hope the bracelet was given to you at the time of sale as well…it costs a lot to have it replaced.
Finally !!! Huge congratulations Don Justino 👍
Looks great on your wrist and hope you keep staring at the amazing dial. She is a beauty and is also a heavy weight 💪 Fun question: How many individual islands do you count ? So happy you pulled the trigger on the P 😃 Now, you also need to consider the G ...
Even better on the bracelet reversed as there is a story there.
Ice queens can be a keeper!
Congrats my friend, a gorgeous and beautiful PP
This watch fits excellent in your collection 👌🏻😘
With expansion and ramp, invokes new hires and trainees…
There’s a coorrrlation to the quality aspect of things. My factory is ramping and rookie mistakes are non-stop, so I’m not surprised such things happened and glad this is just a bracelet. I will not be surprised if quality issues are affected at interior,...
