The best in every category:
Hands: 5130 and 5230, world time watches should have unusual hands.
Case: 5230 has the most interesting case. I do like the 5110 and 5130 cases especially the crown protectors
Guilloche Dial: 5110 and 5130 are my favorite.
There really is no clear winner! 5130 is probably my favorite!
Available on the marketplace
For the pleasure of the eyes: Patek Philippe 5230R.
I took these pictures for an article in progress about three generations of PP World Time watches. While I am still working on it, I can already share these two pictures, for the pleasure of the eyes. Patek doesn't make the most useful WT, I think, but th...
It is so hard to pick one between those three modern generations
To be fair with this version, one has to say it is also very, very appealing!

Looking forward to the article...my preference has been the 5130 series only because I prefer a slightly bigger
Dial when cramming so much info onto a dial and the case fits better on my wrist. But I have a huge soft spot for WT and happy to own all variations
My lurker friend, upon my recommendation, became an...
owner of this 5230 and has been very happy with this watch ! The basket weaving pattern is excellent 👍
Hi Nicolas, the whole Patek community is eagerly...
awaiting your report on the worldtimers !!! 😄

i have the blue world time chrono. i love it. yours is classy looking. mine a little more sporty.
It is my entry ticket to PP world
I just love how many compliments from non watch people it had. Can’t wait for your article Nicolas. ...
can't wait for your article, my friend
and this is a very charming reference indeed. cheers
Great Comparison!
My favorites are probably the 5110p, 5130R and 5130P. Great photo of the 5230R here!
I've always liked the hands on this one...
...and it the dial were a dark blue they would really pop, making it one of the more legible versions.
Plus 1 on a blue 5230. But unfortunately we'll have to wait some more before the 2020 unveiling.
The good news is that there is plenty to be said about past models and the history of WTs. I know you have a good source of inspiration around « le voyage » 😉
I would like to see a blue dial...
...in an R or J version. It would maintain the warm feeling of the watch that I prefer over the 'coolness' of G or P.
I know...platinum gets blue faces and...
...the diamond. But it seems so contrived. If I ran the show, you could buy any dial with any case...you wouldn't have to be Eric Clapton to get a one-off dial.
