more 5131G than 5131J ?
Personal choice of course but I do prefer the yellow 5131.
The enamel dial is a work of art and the colors are so warm, the yellow gold case makes it perfect, imo the white gold is just too cold.
A colorful dial needs a colored case
But that is not the question.
When I search for a 5131 on this or other sites I have the impression I find a lot more white than yellow.
Coincidence or is the white one produced in bigger quantities ?

I much prefer the white gold, due to the fact that the colored dial just pops out
In a spectacular way. It is a top Watch. Big love for it. Best, Nicolas
LOVE the white gold!
This watch is just beautiful and Im really hoping for a special World Timer piece in November! Gotta keep dreaming.
Or 5130G owners tend to sell their white version
more often than the J owners. Which would support your statement of colour preference.
heard from my AD that 5131G has stronger demand overall due to...
...perhaps the enamel colors "pop" out more (similar to what Nico mentioned) On the other hand, 5131J in its dial has more green which matches the yellow gold case better 5131 came out in 2008 and only the J version was produced until (I think) 2009 or 20...
more J than G
in my opinion!! if you search ebay, currently you will find four 5131s; out of which 3 are J; go figure:-))) my guess is they are either equal in numbers or J may be a bit more due to longer production run. Both are fabulous pieces IMHO; given a chance an...
Depends
I prefer the J cause I'm from America. I would assume Asians would prefer G. Both are incredible
H Bruno,
I could choose and took G. Anyhow, to your question: I do not know which one is rarer, G or J. But at the same time; who cares! World Time 5131 is still a relative rare watch. But more and more are produced and there are more and more on the second hand m...
thanks Kari
that is an honest opinion from somebody who has one ! I appreciate it your comments on not being worth the hype ! Indeed a watch doesn't have to cost 2 times the list price on the second hand market. Maybe years after being discontinued but not when still...
H again Bruno,
It is always a very individual matter what one appreciates. I love, i.e., my 3712 but I would not acquire 5712. Why: the construction on the case of 5712 is not the original 2-parts case anymore. References 3710 and 3712 were still produced according to t...
Both are very nice!
I had the choice and I took the G. On this one I like the microblasted hands very much.
Well, at least the white gold........
shows the country I live in...so it would be my choice! Just a little biased;) but I prefer white metal anyhow! Cheers Francois from Down Under
The map says it all!:-)
The white gold version covers Europe and Asia and due to the high clientele in China and South East Asia, these customers in my opinion have chosen to buy the white gold version. I myself originate from Malaysia and even though I now reside in the UK, I a...
Patek site shows 2 new different cities on the 5131 dial.
Does anyone know when Patek started manufacturing the 5131 dial with the cities LaPaz and Riyadh? How many were made with that new dial ?
