Worth the wait... (Patek Philippe 5575G and 5131G inside)
A few days ago I noted that I was flying to the USA for holiday and to collect a few long awaited pieces. I picked up three special watches yesterday that my mother has been holding for many months.
First view was of the boxes with a hint of what lies inside.
I will only comment on the first two and post on the third on the respective JLC forum (perhaps some can guess the watch model from the box).
And here they are...
The lovely 5131G. The dial is exceptional and the case in white gold is my favourite. I waited quite a long time for this piece to come in, and my AD dutifully kept me updated every few months. It arrived some 9 months ago, but I was just now able to collect it...imagine the patience required.
The 5575G as others have posted is quite a spectacular piece. The dial is really wonderful.
Seeing them side by side is quite a treat and they join my 5130G to form quite a cool trio in white gold.
Now to free them from their plastic prisons...
Hope you enjoyed the photos.
Dave

Hi Dave, two HUGE congrats for the iconic Patek's ! My 5131G & 5575 siblings wish to..
have a play-date GTG with yours ! Imagine the photo op ! Have fun with your WT fraternal twins. Cheers, Gordon p.s. please show some close-up photos of the enamel map and moon
I will shot some photos when I can.
I left my camera in London and had to use the iPad to take some quick shots. Not ideal.
Huge congratulations!
Your photos made me seriously think about 5575. One is still waiting for my "verdict". Best Kari
Kari, to acquire the 5575 will help you...
on your journey of having a complete WT set in all metals. Just thought I'd throw that out there. :-) Aloha, Bob
I have to tell you a secret:
santa Claus will bring it to me to Lapland in Xmas. I have been a good boy! For example today I bought only two new Pateks and ordered four more. Luckily my wife does not know. And when she learnes to know, I will not tell the price... Best to wonderful H...
LOL I must confess...
I, too, have been a good boy. I wonder what Santa will bring me for Christmas? Perhaps a visit to Santa Village? :-) Aloha, Bob
I hope so!
and I can assure you that Santa is having a place for you on his lap. Best Kari
Why not all minute repeaters?
Seriously, I like World Times but I'm not a dedicated fan. A couple are enough. Best, Kari
Now THAT would be a collection~
All Minute Repeaters? You'd have to be Donald Trump. LOL Aloha, Bob
I would not like to be Donald Trump
because I do not like his hairstyle! But there is a fair chance that he's your next president. LOL! If I get what I want, I just need to work harder. As simple as that. Best Bob also to your lovely family! Kari
Of course the appeal of the 5575 is a personal thing...
but I am quite pleased with it.
Good catches, Dave. A Patek WT is always a good catch, but three is wow.
As for the JLC Box, I would guess a Duometre. ;) Best, and bravo. Nicolas
Congratulations, Dave!
Wow! To have to wait that long truly required patience but now, fulfilled! And to enjoy them with your family on vacation is definitely a blessing. Aloha, Bob
You don't do things half way Dave
These are two important watches for Patek Philippe. I'm glad for you and wish you wear it in the best of health and share many many pictures too! Thanks for sharing your pleasure, it makes us dream too. Cheers, Mark
When I was a student in Great Britain, I noticed a lot of billboards
with the sentence" buy 2 get one free". On the other side of the Channel we did not have these discounts I begin to understand many years later what does that mean :) Congratulation, two stunning masterpieces of World Time.
Big Congratulations
The amount of patience that you've exhibited is quite remarkable! Congratulations on the trio and Duometre! Seriously fantastic watches.
beautiful watches...
World timers don't get any and enjoy them in the best of health Best, Ahmed
Very nice pair of worldtimers.
You are some lucky guy to have both. I particularly like the 5131g with the special dial. Congratulations. Cheers Geross.
superb catches!!! these combination is a dymanic duo indeed!!! Also..
great to see them go to a superb collector! Best Imran
