Patek Philippe Ref. 5130 World Time - Munich

On special request of a fellow Purist I will show you this. Just had the possibility to take pictures behind a window and that´s all I got, this time.

There are two versions (R & G) and both are limited to 25 pieces each.

The pattern is derived from the flag of Bavaria, but is also shown in a logo from a (former) well-known retailer - Huber in Munich. Some of you will still remember Martin Huber the last family owner and an important writer about Patek Philippe. For insiders the shop was better known as "Resi"

If you look closely you can still see the (old) logo above the entrance, but today there is a Patek Philippe Boutique inside (1st floor) and Bucherer is in charge of it.

Also there is a clock left at the corner.

Next I will show you my pictures about the watches, next to the regular production.

When the 5110 was still in production I was always dreaming about a piece dedicated to Munich, because it is a very special place to me. Today it is still nice to see the latest version, but too big for my wrist to feel comfortable :-(

Well, we can´t have everything!

Well, to be honest, I much prefer the pattern of the 5110.

Then, the pattern of the regular 5130... I find this one a bit strange in a Patek WT. Maybe because I am too used to admire the normal 5110 and 5130? This reserve apart, why not putting Munchen on the city ring? That would have been enough for me, to make...

was about 40220.- I think...

Thanks for the info!

The flag pattern is thoughtful and makes the overall look differently The sunburst guillouche on the regular 5130 seems more difficult to make though, right?? Thanks Gordon

"more difficult"

I guess the technique/machine is the same and therefore it should be the same complexity. Only the limited version has a lower production number and has to be made additionaly. Thanks! Oliver

I remember "Uhren Huber" well ...

... they had the most interesting watches, and the most competent salespersons. Whenever I came to Munich I tried to pay them a visit. Marcus

Marcus, I was quite sure ...

that you know that special place. At least one person is left from those days ... :-) Thanks! Oliver

too big?

Seems like you are condemned to wear vintage watches. With nowadays prices of vintage pieces, its not going to be easy. That munich edition looks really nice. I like the idea of dedicating this model for tributes, it feels natural.

No, not at all. It all depends on the diameter : hight and of course the lugs. Each watch has to be tried on the wrist and has to please the latter :-) I stopped buying watches that don´t feel perfect for me. Lessons learned ;-) Oliver

The Bavarian pattern looks very nice, it is overall a very very nice LE, thanks for sharing Oliver. OT: I think Bücherer has made a mistake to put its name on the Huber boutique, even with the property. Huber has a long long story behind, Patek limited ed...

they changed the name and the place, more or less. The main shop moved to another place, which is near by but totally different in style. It is more like a luxury department store and the spirit is totally different. In the old place there is "only" a Rol...
