Fantastic collection and not that small --- with a truly outstanding first row!:-) The 5231J would be a great addition IMO, as the only (noble) metal currently missing in the family...

To date, I also bought only from ADs (in fact, all Pateks from the same Italian AD, except for the 5131P for which I got lucky at a new AD in a nearby town). For these more particular pieces, ADs are certainly better whenever we get a chance (MSRP is much lower, among other factors), though of course I can't rule out buying from select grey dealer or friends in the future, if I wanted a particular piece really bad ;-)

Honestly I am short of words. In this case we can easily say that small can then be very very very beautiful ! 👍

Wow!

At the end if the day I keep coming back to the shape of the 5130/5131 style case. To me it is really special ..such elegant lines and great proportions.

Wonderful collection.... [nt]
