The 5110 would be too small for you. The 5130 may fit your wrist better but the same movement does not look as good as in a 2mm larger case. So go for the 5230, it is the latest world timer with a beautiful guilloche dial.
Which Patek World Timer?
Now that prices have cooled and are reasonable, I'm thinking of picking up one of my favorite Patek models. 5110 - Love the guilloche pattern on this one the most. It's basic, but looks nice IMO and suits the watch. 5130 - Dial pattern is less exciting bu...
Legibility And Size, Plus There's The Matching Wall Clock....
...my wife very much loves the wall clock. ...
Neither! Since you obviously aren't crazy with either of them!
Personal watch is a personal decision. Communal watch would be a communal decision - but it's not a communal watch now is it?
I've wanted the 5110 for a long time :)
Just didn't make sense in 2020/2021 and now prices seem to be similar to 2018/2019 so I'm ok with it. I can't really think of a world timer that I like more design wise. I guess there's the Lange 1 TimeZone which I like...but the big date looks wonky on t...
As a moderator for the Patek forum, I and many others welcome your question
even though the WT will be your watch and not a “communal” watch as by another member. However it is a “communal” watch in that we are a horological community and share the same passion, right ? Our community is here to help and advise others based on our...
True
Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to find a 5110 where I live! Oddly enough, even in the local watch meetup group I'm in, there aren't any hardcore PP or AP guys. I think it's because both brands have a weak presence in Canada.

Really?
I don't love the guilloche pattern on the newer 5230 unfortunately. But you really think the 5110 would be small? I used to have a Rolex 36mm (gen before current) and that was ok but did look a touch small. Lange 1 was a littttttttle small but OK, and the...
It is best you try it on
my wrist is 6.75 inches and the 5110 and 5230 fit well but not the 5130.
Everybody loves the look of the 5110, BUT
IMO it's just too small to do justice on the wrist. If it were bigger, then 1st choice in terms of looks. I ended getting the 5130j first and got so many comments. I thought the 5130r looked better and traded the 5130j for the 5130r. I never got 1 comment...
Oh wow
You and Sham1 have me a little scared now lol. Does the 5110 really wear *that* much smaller?
I LOVE the 5110
But my wrist is a lot smaller than yours. I'd say the case, with its swooping long lugs, wears a bit larger than one might expect, while the dial, with the wide bezel and small central dial, wears smaller. Here it is on my 16cm wrist: ...
While I have no idea as to what WT would work best for you, of the 5110/5130/5230 group, the most appealing to me by far is the 5230P.
Incredibly beautiful, relatively rare (short run) and very different from all the others aesthetically.
