Yep, WTs are truly iconic in Patek's production history, so I'm sure most references will get a fair recognition....Even the 5230, which was slower to attract attention initially, seems to be gaining more interest now.
The most sought-after WTs of course remain by far those in combination with a rare handcraft, i.e., the 5131 and 5231 iterations (as it's also clear from the secondary market, even for the 5231). My best advice is probably to go for a 5230 if someone wants to enter the "Patek WT world" right now, which are still *very* widely available at virtually any AD...;-)
Cheers.
This release finally got a recognition it deserves at the latest Sotheby HK auction
A few days ago and please correct me if I'm wrong: someone payed 567K plus 25% or so in HKD for 5110...that's around $91K ...
Hate to be the nerd breaking the news but my two mirror unicorns were
taking part in that auction, so I paid attention. Hence, the best performer didn't go unnoticed either.. I happened to be a proud owner of 5130P and it happens to be my favorite watch, period. It's just I find it fascinating how everything Patek World Tim...

One of the greatest watches of this century.
I have been trying to get one for some time. Finally got mine last week. It’s the kind of watch where the sum of all elements come together in a very beautiful and complete way. ...
Yeah yeah I know. But you know that feeling.
You had yours for 15 years and you still have a crush. In the metal I do understand why 110%. My God!
Congratulations!
The 5110 is my only Patek... and I'm perfectly satisfied that way! Because this is a really perfect watch.
Nicolas, you once posted...
a review of the four 5110 flavors. Would you mind sharing the link with us here?
Yes really really nice.
But I was always after that guilloché dark contrast in the middle. Couldn’t get my mind off that since I saw it on someone else’s wrist.
No controversy at all.
Every flavor of the 5110 world time is amazing. Iconic watches displaying timeless beauty.
