Hi All, this is my belated second and last post about the Singapore Grand Exhibition in which I learned some important and interesting information from ...
Ms Anita Porchet, the best enameler artist in the horological world today, gave me some interesting information. My original post on the exhibition / She and her team made 5131G and 5131P ! No wonder I have always rated 5131G's dial as the best four beca...
Thanks my friend, your typically interesting and informative post on my most favorite watches (within my most favorite brand), so I could have hardly asked for more! :-)
I also have a 5131P, as you know, so glad to know Ms. Porchet and her team were directly involved in the production. You're also implying that she was *not* involved in the realization of the 5131J and R, if I understand correctly? That'd be surprising bu...
Hi Fab, Ms. Anita Porchet told me that she and her team were...
involved in making the 5131G &P and 5531. She did not say J and R. Hence, I would think not for J and R. So now 5531 is in the works for you my friend ??
If nothing again arrives in 2020 of the 5089/5077/etc. series, then I'm seriously going to consider the 5531...A two-year abstinence would be unbearable my friend..;-))
Italy however seems on a roll again for special pieces (remember what they sent me via whatsapp yesterday? It wasn't even an isolated case , so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
5531 is perfect....sadly unless you very special or own multiple MR just
About zero chance of an allocation for me!!
Hi Karl, to collect the watch you need, you must do whatever is...
necessary, including marrying into the family !!
Hi cbb, you are most welcome and ...
thanks for your kind words & glad that you found this post informative !
Great writeup... my dream watch i still the 5531
I have tried it and as normal with enamel watches alway better in real life the pictures ...
I have been lucky at auctions and picked up 2 of the 5131G's
One is 2013 and other 2015. Be interesting to compare the dials
Super congratulations. 👏
The G is a glorious piece and the one I hoped to get before the wait become longer than the production cycle. 😉
No, back in 2008 I put my name down for the 5131G
By the time my name was high enough on the list to get a piece they were onto the R.
And u were rewarded with the nicest R dial I ever seen
That includes ones with no snow and extra green blobs
Yes, it is my 5131R and below is a photo of my 5131...
set. Did you see my previous post on the quadruplets ? Here is the link if you are interested to read it. ...
Thanks Gordon
I have just read it. It is great to get an insight from a collector who owns 5131 in all 4 metals. On my previous post what I meant was whether your 5131R was 5131R-011 as opposed to a 5131R-001 or 5131R-010.
Russell your photo looks very familiar.
I just noted wikipedia is using your photo on their Patek page.
I am a Wikipedian so yes it is my photo of my piece being used.
Here is a friends piece I also photographed. ...
Hi Russell, I NEED you to take ...
photos of my enamel dials, starting with the Rousseau Lion 🦁 !!
Magnificent piece as well.
I understand your piece is 5131R-001 and your friend's piece is 5131R-010. I haven't seen many 5131Rs with Brisbane on the city ring.
Brisbane was only for the 010 model
3 year production, 1 year each for 001, 010 and 011.
