The most popular Patek on here is...

The World Time, in any iteration. It seems the most widely represented and posted about Patek is the world time, whether it be a white gold 5130 or an application piece with enamel, the world time seems to be best represented. I just recently sold my 5130R and all of the world time posts are making me miss it! Considering a 5130G to replace it.

In my opinion having owned 10 Pateks over the years, there is something about the world time that keeps me coming back to it more than any other reference. There is some semblence of old world savoir faire that I don’t find in any other reference. I grew tired of my calatravas, I grew tired of my annual calendars, I even grew tired of my 5270G after owning it for a short amount of time—but the world time has some sort of unspeakable characteristics that make it no surprise to see so widely represented in here.

Further, I understand why some collectors even possess world time only collections. The ligne has so much variety to offer, in bracelet and strap forms, application pieces, piece unique, vintage pieces that get CN millions at auction, or even easily accessible references to the new collector like a 5110 — all of which has at its core the same DNA.

I only sold my 5130R because my collection became very rose gold heavy with my 5270/1R acquisition, so I’m now looking at a 5130G. I considered a 5230G, but the slightly larger case size of the 5130G wears better on my 7” wrist.
