The World is enough
I’m not greedy like James Bond 
I’ve always wanted a PP World Time, a micro-rotor and had thought about chasing the 5230G NYC edition.
Never ever had I dream about getting their most prestigious Cloisonné WT but here it is, an application that has proven my passion.
A huge milestone in my watch collecting journey, and a dream come true.
Thank you Patek Philippe for the recognition and approval.
I’m over the top of the world now...Thanks for your patience from previous waiting post.

Yea it is....and now I can understand...
Why the die hard WT cloisonné collectors are obsessed 👍🏻
That looks like a very fine example of PP WT cloisonne
Beautiful and special timepiece 👍 congratulations!
It is such a delight to see this in real...
I’ve never seen one in real life this close. The beauty is beyond words. Thank you.
My god! Huuuge congratulations 🍾
What a great achievement, I’m very happy for your milestone! A crown piece on your already magnificent collection.
Thanks my friend! I’m still shaking as I typed ....
This piece is indeed an heirloom piece and lucky my next generation 😂
I felt your excitement trough your post!
What a lovely feeling! I’m truly happy for you! Hope to see lots of wrist shots...😉
Appreciate your kind words ZSHSZ....
I will be in Honeymoon for a while and taking lots of photos. Thank you.
I can't go have a dish of pasta and look what happens in the forum! ;-)) Big congrats Raymond -- WT and enameling are two of the most distinguished Patek specialties, and you got chosen to receive both in one shot! It doesn't get much better than this!
Sincerely happy both that you love Patek, and that you are being so beautifully reciprocated!
I am totally speechless and beyond words to describe my joy...
Sorry to interrupt your pasta meal Yes I love Patek Philippe watches and we all know it takes lots of time to collect them but I’m trying my best.
Thank you for your kind encouragement....
There is always room of improvement, I understand how this works Prof )
With this watch the world definitely is
enough. You have made an impressive acquisition. And it’s a rare bird and really an individual and very sophisticated piece of art. So many congrats!!!!! You didn't stop me from eating pasta like you did with FabR. But you kept me from falling asleep! Pur...
For many other distinguished collectors here with multiple 5x31s Cloisonné WTs, I sincerely congratulate them....
I'm not up to that level and will be super happy with this one. So many Thank you, Thomas. I probably cannot sleep again tonight too!
I hope you got some sleep. 😊
You MUST / HAVE TO be happy with this only one. My experience: When you have less but therefore got really pieces, you can enjoy it more than when you have so much that you don't even know what to wear and the watches disappear in a bank vault. Less is mo...
Yes I did....
Now I feel relaxed 😉 True to your experience hence I try not to collect pieces with redundant looks, form or function. Every watch will be different so picking any will be easy. For this piece which is so special, events to wear it, to me will be easy 😜 ...
One of my favorites, but I am not one of the favored...
...but since you are, enjoy in good health.
I wasn't expecting but I did my homework....
This is my 10th PP (including my wife's 7200G, 5067A) and I don't just own the SS pieces, which helps in my application. Thank you mdg.
Huge congrats!
Definitely a pinnacle or sort in your PP collecting journey. But can’t be sure until you are done summiting.....😁. What a way to wind down 2020. Merry X’mas!
Thank you!
That’s a huge milestone achievement and need to work harder for the next one... My other dream piece is a PCC which will be tougher but I will get there someday Indeed a special 2020 year end finale.
Congrats, gorgeous piece.
I recently acquired a PP PCC and I’m still in the honeymoon phase. ...
A big congratulations on acquiring this very special watch. Beautiful images and a particularly beautiful map (they do vary - no two are the same).
For me, each WT cloisonné is a captivating miniature work of art, combined with a practical and wonderful mechanical complication, Mine says hello. Best, Patekova ...
I have been checking on the maps of yours and other owners...
Each is unique which makes me understand how esteem collectors like you are addicted to these treasures Yours is one of the earliest in this forum and your strap choice is stunning, so is the green by Volker. Thank you and enjoy yours in the best of healt...
Thank you for your very kind words. These cloisonné WTs with their multi-colored dials offer the opportunity for creative strap choices.
Patek has a wide variety of colors. Plus you can also pick the color of stitching. Of course there are other wonderful strap makers that do the same. Enjoy your fantastic watch in great health and for many years.
You’re absolutely spot on ... the colors are fantastic and provides so many nice options...
Looks like Blue and Green works best but there are different shades to play with too. Thanks for sharing your nice examples, wear yours with lots of joy and happiness.
Thanks a lot Henry...this 5231J, 5740/1G and a 5270 or 5970 will be my absolute grails.
Congrats to you who already have it all.
Such a piece of art... huge congratulations!
These cloisonné worldtimers are so sensual, they make you dream of faraway places every time you check the time. This piece alone should be reason enough to do away with daylight savings time 😄 Enjoy it on many beautiful moments, Raymond! Best, Daniel ...
Totally agree with you, these are works of Art...Thank you Daniel.
I have never seen one WT Cloisonné in real and now I’m total fall in love. With this miniature globe, I don’t need to travel I can stare at this beauty for a long, long time. Appreciate your kind words. Cheers!
Huge congratulations, Raymond!
I can understand your feelings about 5231J. It was my first cloisonné WT as well, and when I held it in my hands at my former AD for the first time, I was absolutely smitten. In real life, the dial is even better than in photos. An absolutely gorgeous tim...
Yes the exciting feeling resonates and the watch is indeed beautiful in real...
I’ve never seen such WT Cloisonné watch in real except for in the PP museum so to hold it in my hands is magical. I can’t processed getting more WT Cloisonné pieces now....my mind is already blown away by this beauty. Thanks V.
Congratulations 🥳
The cloisonné WT pieces are so special, each is individual and wonderful on the wrist - worthy of staring at for hours, but you’ll always have to look again to actually register the time. 😂
They are indeed very different...and I’ve looked at maps for different owners here...all different.
Thank you for the experience sharing , I already noticed that too 😂
For me the PP
WT cloisonné (any refs)became the top of watchmaking,i know there are more complex complications ,more rare and unique references ,but those were never as close to my desires as email WTs .I fully understand your joy and happiness,wishing great health and...
Wow....that’s good to know this is such a high honor to be able to own such a masterpiece.
I will definitely wear this and rotate it, won’t be as frequent but not a safe queen for sure. Thanks George. Merry Christmas to you too.
Congratulations it’s a beauty... if this is your first 5X31 be careful it can become very addictive and expensive 😂
Again congratulations on a beautiful watch and please don’t leave it in a safe 😏
Yes this is my first and I do understand why collectors like you are addicted 😂
It’s not a easy feat to own such a piece but who knows I may spend less on other brands going forward....since July this year, I’ve got 2 other PPs, 4 Rolexes and 3 Omegas...need a break 😜
Wow, what a great holiday surprise.
I don’t use the word grail but I will say this is a watch I do really aspire to have in my collection. Enjoy it !
i know the feeling , i first opted
for the 5131J then it was discontinued I switched to the R ( the metal i always wanted ) and exactly after 2yrs got the call "if you are still interested you may can collect it from us "
These calls are so exciting come to think about it....
And we keep complaining about a long waiting period, lol....but the moment is so precious. When the 5131R was released, I was also in love but then I was told the same things like need o have a strong profile, long waiting and maybe can try to apply etc.....
Congrats! Truly happy to see the watch went to someone who appreciates it!
In addition to this, I have the NY WT as well. They are both very different and have special meaning. Can't go wrong, enjoy!
I had requested for an allocation back in 2017 for the NY WT but didn’t get it....
Well, it’s all meant to be...so no regrets Thanks and enjoy yours too.
Wow! Huge Congrats!
Someone looked after you this Xmas! I wonder if it’s the same person we know in NYC? Haha...what a way to end 2020 with such a HUGE reference. Many congrats and wear in good heath! You can now travel in style and adjust the time in each time zone as well ...
Someone looks after you all the time with your Polar P and many others 🤪
It’s a great year with 10 watches and I just returned from Mayakoba last week...and Vegas back in Nov....maybe that brought me luck. Thanks my friend. Happy holidays!
Whoa!!
10 watches this year! Nice! Congrats on such a prolific year! Happy 2021 and hope next year is just as amazing...watches that is. Definitely NOT Covid19...hoping to finally be able to go out and travel the world with the Polar express...haha
Embarrassed to say...
My 10 is less than your 1 Big one, lol... Hopefully all will have an amazing 2021 too. I'm sure we're reaching end of tunnel soon. Take care!
huge congratulations, dear Raymond !
Perfect choice to join your collection! And just in time for the festive season. Wear it in the best of health and more photos please ! Warmest regards
Thanks a lot Seeks!
Yes the timing cannot be better in a year like this, when dreams can come true. I will be spending a lot of time with this Happy holidays.
Hi Raymond, Huge congrats ! 🎈🍾🎉
This dial is so LOVELY ! Enjoy inspecting the dial under a loupe ! Your patience really paid off. Trust me, your addiction will deepen and want to get the 5231 set ! Glad that you now appreciate why I became the enamel addict/slave 😢. Please follow in my ...
I’m always admired your passion for this and
I can understand why now 😂 It will not be easy and I will have to sacrifice other brands I like too in order to collect this dream set. You’re one of the privilege few who can get all these treasures...maybe my next generation can catch up 😉 Thank you! ...
