Patek Philippe

This journey of 11 years (from when I first saw the 5131J when it was released) or 6 years (from the first catch) is one that I could never have dreamed of ! Each quadruplet has its own characteristics and charm and I love each equally. Having studied the...  

Impressive collection & patience always pays off... Best, Mahesh.,

learned how to become patient!

But as I have never purchased secondhand watches before it might take some time or never happen 😏 at least I hopefully can manage to get a full set of 5231 😂 But congrats again.

Completing your 5231 set !

worthwhile IMO !

They all look spectacular!

seeing more photos of your 5231J and 5131s !

...  

This is really an impressive achievement.

I dream maybe the same dream for the 5231s. I know I would like to, anyway, whether or not I get enough for my kidneys to make this a reality is another issue entirely. I love all of these pieces, and I can only imagine your honeymoon with this set! They ... 

getting your 5231 set !

know when !

now you're the undisputed Enamel King, Gordon, congratulations. Next....maybe whole set of the 5231, starting with the J? For me, just any one WT Cloisonne will do and fulfill my watch collecting journey.

with you to get a 5231 whatever metal !

Like Fram, I also never bought second wrist, so I might never be able to increase my own 5131 series (I only have the P), otherwise my second favorite would probably be the R. But I can only imagine the effect of seeing the whole family together --- I bet... 

BTW, you really need the R because IMO it fits your various criteria well !! Just bite the bullet for for your alma mater ! LOL !

What a gorgeous set. Any of the four would easily make my day, or actually my month or even my year ! And thanks for this great post sharing your feelings about each.

kind comments ! This set will hopefully suppress my urges (especially enamel) for a while, or at least a kidney miraculously grows back organically!

Congratulations Gordon, that’s a fantastic achievement and I love the way you ‘analyse’ who each will pass to! Enjoy them as I know you will.

“analysis” which is really my personally feelings and emotions (ie not really analytical at all!!) LOL !

a wonderful endeavour !

And I am glad you have managed to secure all four. The question is will you start another collection with the 5231 range?!

SLAVE or ADDICT is the appropriate term for my enamel condition ! Are you trying to push me over the edge for more enamel worldtimers ? LOL !

I think you will naturally want the 5231 range too! I am contemplating on this enamel piece. Your disease is contagious!!! Lake Thun in Switzerland, The symmetrical reflection of the mountains against the water really gets me! ...  

on Thursday Nico. It is stopping over in Kuala Lumpur

by Patek ?

But beggars can't be fussy!!

not being a huge fan of Coloured metals the G and P in that order would have me smiling

selling the 5131 set ! :-( I understand your rationale for the 5131G & P. Good choices !

smitten with these four WTs !

Its no small feat collecting all 4 . I hope you wear them in good health always. Collecting is a never ending journey, but along the way we reach a milestone, and this is certainly one. Sincerely H.

collecting is a never ending journey (which cost limbs and organs !!!) Look forward to seeing photos of your babies !

great comment on why ask about next task ! The joy will last for years ! Based on that thinking, I will enjoy them until my children demand to possess them. LOL !

pushing me over the fence to get the R !

What an achievement to land all four. Somehow, it was meant to be, knowing your love for enamel but to see it happen is so good. Also, thank you for your thoughtful post regarding the four. I will reread it many times, as I am really smitten with the WT. ... 

Rousseau enamel lion is jealous because it has to compete with a 5131 set ! Sincere hope you get your enamel watch soon !

Congratulations Gordon!

he used both arms!

have short arms !

you with the set as well ! IMO, it would be a good trade with your P for a R + another piece.

Had my suspicions but was unsure whether you were going for the 5231J or finding a pre loved 5131J... set looks and feels more complete this way. Bravo! Superb!

my thinking really well ! You are dangerous ! LOL !

speechless when I look at these four enamel dials !

This is one truly focused collection! Congratulations to you, sir!

what made you decide to get all 4? when you got the P perhaps? start again with the 5231?

me wanting the R which led to wanting the set ! Hence, you are partly to blame/thank for ! No limbs and kidney left for 5231 for now.

What is your next sets for your family!

the next set ?

Huge congrats on your achievement! You're truly an enamel slave & WT Master Enjoy them in great health! Thanks for sharing those pics here, cheers.

enamel slave & WT Master ! An excellent juxtaposition term !

grand slam ! Inspired by your term, I would now call it a out-of-the park grand slam ! I am still looking forward to our long overdue GTG !

Congratulations on owning the amazing quartet! I think your analysis of the merits of each is spot on. And the images are exceptional. The Lion must be very happy with all those exotic places to visit! All the best, patekova

pulled off getting the set ! Rousseau enamel lion is jealous as it must share wrist time with others. LOL ! What would you suggest in terms of which enamel watch should be worn for what occasion ? Thanks for helping to settle a family feud !

Eg IMHO, the P can easily be worn with jeans or a tux.

worn at all occasions as long as I have happy !

turn for completing your grail set that we talked about !

Indeed a dream collection and a memorable journey as a bonus. Wear them in good health and I hope to see them soon.

satisfying ! When will you visit the set ?

...  

GTG to let our babies get to know one another ! Our 5131 sets GTG will be of epic proportion ! What you think ?

No message body

get the two sets for a GTG post !

5231 set to tempt me ! What do do ?

Remembered when I first met you were two pieces in. And so quickly you have the whole set already! Huge congratulations!

poisoned me to get the set ! Hence, you are also to be blamed/thanked for. LOL !

Congrats, they all so beautifully balanced... The journey is as good as the destination !

the fun and exciting part !!

What an amazing set! The pursuit of the 5231 is definitely on your list now! Seems like you may have half a liver still available to sell. 🤣🤣🤣 So happy for your! Keith

convince me to sell my liver for 5231 ! Perhaps selling half a liver can be justified for buying the 5231, correct ??

To have them all is a sight to behold. Only one comment if you have any money left it might be worth investing in a new phone with a camera that can do those dials justice 😉. Great to see your WT collection. Enjoy. M.

focused, determined when I received my second 5131 piece ! p.s. photos were taken by my friend's phone.

One Patek enamel piece is a treasure your collection is incredible. Enjoy. Miles.

my iPhone and show them to your discerning eyes !

M.

rights !!

Getting one is already quite a challenge, with the Patek application process, what more with getting all four. I would say that your passion for the enamel pieces really pays off and I wish you all the best in your next horological journey. Perhaps a 5231... 

catch up with me and make me collect more enamel dials !

But would certainly not mind having all 4 of them as well

collection ??

Bring all four to Sg in Sep for upcoming Patek Exhibition 😂

interesting pieces than my 5131s.

I can't answer your question; but your kids will surely be getting a very special watch. Congratulations on achieving your dream!

behave reasonably ! Fair requirement within the slogan of "merely look after it for the next generation" ??

Congratulation Gordon! To complete one set like 5131 is amazing and it is definitely decent gift to your children. Therefore you should not split the set and start your new challenge journey for another set like Rousseau -The Dream or something different ... 

poisonous one from you ! LOL !

Kidding of course Huge congrats on completing your collection!

steel version !!

Well done, your WT of the 5131-enamel collection is definitely a sight for sore eyes. To answer the question what comes after this for you would be: the 5231-enamel collection of the WT. Congrats again.

poison me with enamel dials !! :-(

I like that term but it's more for me, while you are the Enamel King. I like G the most becaue white metal is my thing. And I can't wait to see the launch of 5231G. Until then I'm pretty happy with my G. ...  

addicts !! Congrats sw on your 5131G ! It looks great !

Hi Gordon: Congratulation. A full set of beautiful 5131. Nice pictures. I am missing 5131J.. This is my three 5131. ...  

Both G and P are very watches nice to have. I wear P the most because I can wear it in very kind of weather condition. ...  

You have a very good memories. Peony flower enamel watch is one of my family favorite watch. Sometimes I wear it although it is a lady watch. Love it a lot. I love your collection too. ...  

Ice Kings !!! ...  

Is it cloisonné or champleve enamel ?

completing the 5131 set !!

kind comments !! The journey has been well worthwhile!! “.

5231 will complement 5131s well !

Congrats!! Thank you for sharing your thought process on who you feel should wear/receive the watch next, that was interesting. I'm excited to see where your watch collecting journey brings you next. I love the fact it took 6 years to complete the collect... 

11 years because I started dreaming about the 5131 when I saw the 5131J in 2008 ! So dreams sometimes so come true ! 😇

They are all great, and love how each version shows a different map, which makes this full set more interesting than the perpetual chronos. Great journey, super hard to top this one!

happy with getting just one ! Horologial journeys are full of twists and turns, just like spy movies ! LOL !

kidneys and limbs to sell to collect the 5231 set assuming that my AD would still allocate any 5231 to me. Perhaps I should sell the 5131 set to collect the 5231 set ?

Wrist....however I am sure I will end up with a G..lol

most satisfying for me !

Nautilus line ?

...  

congratulations 🍾 on getting the 5131 set ! Please tell us your story !!!

I first got my 5131 was the platinum version, it was a surprise. I initially apply for a rose gold version, waited for two years but no luck acquire one. One day, my AD called and asked if I am interested in the platinum instead as they had one in stock. ... 

Scth831 and get your 5131 set since you have the P already !

There will be a 5231P

Fab over edge to go after WT enamel watches in colored metals !

I should get a 5131R but feel like that's cheating!!!! ...  

different time zone plate ?
