Thank you for posting this image of the 5231J. I have a question for you (or others who have sent it in the metal).

On the Patek website the dial looks stunningly beautiful with the most vibrant and bright colors. In the image you post, the dial IMHO appears dark and frankly rather dreary. I suspect this is the result of the light in which the image of the wrist shot was captured. What does the dial look like in the metal? Thanking you in advance, as well as any one else who responds. Best, patekova

Maybe my fav worldtimer... in any case I much prefer it than the 5131... Fx ...

I gotta admit bezel and especially lugs are definitely an improvement in regards to 5130/1.

Good pic ! How does the enamel dial...

compare to the 5131J ? Also, what features do you like about 5231 over 5131 ?

Agreed!

 
 By: sham1 : April 7th, 2019-11:53
The case, the lugs, the size also makes me favour it over the the 5131. I await the 5231G with much anticipation

I agree wholeheartedly!

I have requested one from my AD. Fingers crossed that I am fortunate enough to get this one. The lugs, the bezel, the case size, the coloring of the enamel...I’m not sure if there’s a way to improve upon this one save for people’s different metal color pr... 

Yes it is! Thank you for this comparison shot.

It’s just so good! I need one in my life 😁

Very nice watch. Wonderful picture.

You clearly brought out the beauty of the cloisone dial. Cheers 🍻, tfs. Geross 😉

Did you get one already?

I have ordered one, hope I am fortunate to get it!

I do like the type change on

the 5231 but overall I like the 5131 better in size and the crown guard. I would love to get the enamel dial version someday but for now I will stick wth my SE NYC world timer ...Jim ...  

Also my favorite from this year.

Is this also an application piece?

I have my eyes on this one

my only (Big) regret is the logo on the enamel. I’m really struggling with this detail. Otherwise it’s perfect for me.

What’s not to love?

Christian, you are really a smallest detail guy! 😊 For me it was love at first sight! Must have this and if possible all four colors to come!🤗 Cheers Tempus

yes you are probably right :-)

 
 By: ChristianDK : April 9th, 2019-09:58
And since I havent seen it IRL, I will reserve my opinion. I really want one. I think, in pictures, I prefer the new case. Its, just that I see the enamel as a little work of art, put into a watch, so to have the logo across disturbs my perception of that... 

Understand totally!

 
 By: tempus : April 10th, 2019-02:01
But it is beautiful enough though I think!

I am not a world timer guy but.......
