New acquisition of 5131J
Just pick up this new member of 5131 family.
My first impression to this first version of cloisonne world time was actually fair. I preferred the more colorful G and R versions.
Besides, yellow gold was also not my favorite.
However, as my age increases, I gradually appreciate the charm of yellow gold, which matches the green continents on the map perfectly. The yellow colour in Africa is also very eye-catching.
This sample also carries the less commonly seen light blue shoreline in J version, hence……. I pulled the trigger few days ago.
Wish all fellow members a wonderful weekend!
Best, Henry

Great pick-up Henry ! Big congrats!
The yellow enamel in Africa is great because it is bright and eye 👁 catching ! 👍 You now must get the G to complete the set ! 💪 The blue shoreline for each continent is indeed rare.
Wow, what a beauty!! A classic, handsome example of Patek at its best.
And I agree, yellow gold is making a bit of a comeback. This looks great on you.
A good start is rare for me
You are far better with it. Enjoy your new WT, a PP without the cold PP letter style. Albeit other great watch maisons use cold letter styles, Baume and Mercier, Girard Perregaux. It’s graphical, albeit that’s my roots. What a wonderful products are the P...
Congratulations!
Although I prefer the case of the 5231 this one is incredibly beautiful as well
Thank you, Erik. On the contrary, I slightly prefer the case of 5131/ 5130 more than 5231/5230, as the old version has a smoother and more continuous contour. The one piece construction of crown guard is a nice feature too.
However, I do agree the cloisonné dial of 5231J is more refined than 5131J. After all, 5131J is the first cloisonné world map in the modern Patek reference, the experience of the enamelist perhaps was perhaps less than 5231J now.
Congratulations, Henry
That’s a stunning beauty to add. May you wear it in good health! David
Many congratulations on this spectacular WT!
You must show us your entire World Time family!
Ooops it looks like I missed your post last time…
Big congrats to you Henry, 5131 is a fantastic catch in any metal imo and this J version is no exception, it is just mind blowing 🤩🤩🤩
