It's a terrific watch, and a complication "owned" by Patek.
My preference though is for its immediate predecessor, the iconic 5110P. I think its size, proportion, and dial are about perfect. As noted, both versions share the cal 240, a reliable and aesthetically blessed movement. As is often the situation, moving into a larger case while retaining the same size movement, requires certain accommodations. The dial of the 5110P requires no such adjustment.
The blue dial on either the 5110P and 5130P are both really appealing though, and well worth the platinum premium. I've been told that the blue dial can make it difficult to determine the time, at least at a quick glance. Your photos illustrate this well. It's something perhaps to consider, although any extra time spent staring at that dial is certainly not time wasted!
Good luck with your decision; there's very little not to like about this reference.
5130P-020 - Thoughts?
Gents, I found this Gem at a dealer nearby to me: What do you think about this reference? As far as I know, it is a discontinued one, and I do not like the case of the new one.. Yours, Adam ...
Better than the 5130P, the 5110P. Not that it is a bad watch, but the 5110P is more homogeneous.
Case and dial sizes. Best, Nicolas
Really a personal taste but I prefer the 5110P.
First, the size (37mm for the 5110 vs 39.5mm for the 5130) which is better for me on the 5110P. Something I prefer too with the 5110 is that you have less "spaces" between cities. Second, the guilloché dial. Much more desirable on the 5110P IMHO (better r...
IMO, the 5110 is better in almost every way except
size if your wrist demands something bigger than 37 mm. The hands are such a subjective preference. I'm slightly partial to the 5110's hand set, but I do like the 5130's hands as well. The size variable is important, however, and you have to be comfortabl...
Agree with you John
Size like aesthetic elements (dial, hands...) are something really personal related to your own tastes. The main interest here is that we have the choice... and we didn't talk about the 5230 ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
If you like the watch. Go for it. Its a great model of world time. Even its size is bigger at 39.5mm than the 5110p.
The mechanisms the same for both 5110 and 5130. Cal 240. Its contemporary and really a handsome watch. My opinion. Best. Geross.
Actually suits your wrist perfectly
In my opinion,The case material is my the 5110P to have know which one will suit you better,And go with the one that sings to you. Best, Ahmed
I have been searching for a 5110p
But the 5130 looks good on your wrist. Go for it! Cheers PAt

Well, I think it is a very appealing version
The size is more to my liking and I like the "metalic" blue coating. As for the hands, they are very appealing on any of the 3 last references (5110, 5130 and 5230). I saw it on the wrist of a collector a year ago and was surprised to notice how good it l...
Well,
I have seen also the 5110P at a GTG, I found it aesthetically also more beautiful than the 5130P, but I am afraid it would be too small for my strong wrist, but I have to try on it! Many thanks for your inputs, guys! Yours, Adam
Adam, I have strong wrists too and had the chance to wear the 5110 of a good friend for some days..
The watch is a stunner and all comments on the perfection of the dial and proportions of the 5110 are true imho. But I simply couldn´t like on myself so I finally bought the 5130 which is as nice as the smaller version in my eyes, only a little bit differ...
Yes, you should try the 5110P and continue thinking about the 5130P imho
I don't know what the size of your wrist is but the 5110 with its 37 x 10 mm would fit well a large wrist imho. It depends on how we like wearing watches of course. However, I totally understand that a size matter can be a main criteria for you. I have th...
Hi Adam, yes, the 5130 has been discontinued.
I have the 5130 and for me this reference is special because of the scissors hands which has lineage to the vintage Patek Worldtiome watches. Guilloche dial wise, IMO the circular pattern on the 5110 is slightly better than the sunburst on the 5130. Overa...
Have owned 5130p and 5110p
No bad decision between these two. I sold my 5130p. Own the 5110p. It really is all about how if feels to you on your wrist.
It's a great timepiece!
Their second generation of self-winding worldtimers are by far my favorite, because it has a contemporary size which allows for great legibility. It's also more aesthetically pleasing to look at as the cities ring is less cluttered. I also prefer the guil...
