A Trio Of 5131 Cloissone World Times
By: patekova : June 16th, 2016-08:48
I am happy to share these images with the Forum members. I feel extremely! fortunate to own these three WTs. I am very curious to read how the forum members compare the 3 to each other in terms of preferences and general observations. I will be happy to s...
Patekova.....

.....thanks for sharing this. I think most people here would be happy with any single one of them. However, you do ask a specific question, and so I will give a specific answer. My order is the same as yours. I prefer R most as i feel it has a vibrancy an...
Tough choice.
By: Chimaera : June 16th, 2016-09:03
I too prefer the R - because the warm, brassy colour (esp the hands) recalls old navigational instruments. The effect is a Lilliputian such instrument.
Thank You Baron

for your detailed and cogent analysis. Yes, I couldn't believe my good fortune when I got the first one. I never expected to get more than one, but I hoped and was way beyond thrilled to get the others. I very much realize how fortunate I am to have them....
May I also say.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 16th, 2016-09:28
....i admire and respect the manner in which you presented these watches. Classy.
That is one rare trio. OMG!
By: Thy1r : June 16th, 2016-09:06
What a great WT collection. I am trying myself to collect all 4 5110s (I\'m half way (p and r) ...). My choice : the R. I love the case and the cloisonné is IMO perfectly balanced. But I would give a better opinion if I had all 3 right now on my desk.
Oh wow!

You must be a very special customer of Patek. Well done on securing all three! Like many others, I am waiting for the rose gold version and I pray it will not be discontinued until we all get ours! I live in Europe and originate from Malaysia so the white...
Hi Patekova, congrats on collecting all three ! What an awesome trio !
By: GLau : June 16th, 2016-11:44
I have had the opportunities to examine all three and the good fortune of owning the G. IMO, each of them has certain aspects that are better than the other two. In terms of realism and color matching, R is top because patches of white ice cap are shown w...
Thank you Gordon for your reply and great analysis!!
By: patekova : June 16th, 2016-12:06
Your breakdown of the strengths of each based on specific colors is insightful and thought provoking. Unfortunately, your comment about the ice caps and global warning is a sad, but accurate statement of where things seem to be going. I assume there will ...
Awesome trio!
By: russell996 : June 16th, 2016-12:38
Congratulations on the latest addition. It is fascinating to see the differences in all the R\'s as more pictures get posted, from some with no snow to as you say some with more orange/yellow. All are truly stunning and so difficult to have a favourite bu...
Thank you Russell996 for your kind words
By: patekova : June 16th, 2016-13:39
Also for pointing out something I hadn't noticed, namely that some of the Rs do not have snow caps in the Arctic regions. This is another illustration as to how each one is onto itself.
Thank you Patekova.....
By: watercolors : June 17th, 2016-03:04
for shearing these beauties. For me the yellow gold is the first choice, simply because I believe it to be the most traditional and I like it the most. Following the rose gold and then the white gold. The enamel is a state of the art on all of them and th...

They have been very seriously designed
By: Mark in Paris : June 17th, 2016-13:40
Patek has brought a lot of attention to the details of this watch. As always we may say but the enamel work of this very 5131 reference is another story and brings the interest to another level IMHO. I would go for R then G then J personally. I like RG a ...
Mark, thank you!! for your very detailed and thought provoking reply
By: patekova : June 17th, 2016-14:53
I would like to focus in particular on what you said regarding the differences in the enamel work within a particular gold model, be it rose, white or yellow. The first one that I acquired was the J. I was ecstatic to get it and thought the map was beauti...
I think you experienced something very much linked with the enamel work
By: Mark in Paris : June 18th, 2016-09:50
These details differences and diversity in such dials are something we may not expect at first. How they spread the material before cooking, how it behaves during the heating process etc... everything has an impact an enameler cannot totally control. It o...
All 3 are beautiful. Functional works of art.
By: geross : June 17th, 2016-14:08
WG is the best for me , RG , then the J. But the other 2 are no pushovers. Just my personal preference. Good you have all 3 in your stable. My admiration. Cheers Geross.
How did you get all 3?
By: jonrus : June 17th, 2016-21:16
Did you get an allocation from the same AD, or different AD per piece? Since it's an application watch, PP would know this allocation.. just wondering how this works.. Thanks
3?
By: fernando : June 20th, 2016-20:49
Yes I know, life isn't fair! G would be my choice as I tried on a friend's piece and it was absolutely stunning. cheers fernando
J or R for me
By: Bruno.M1 : June 26th, 2016-01:39
the G is nice too but the multi colored dial imo needs a warm colored case too
Bruno, thank you for your reply and very interesting viewpoint on the G
By: patekova : June 26th, 2016-09:58
I actually have the opposite preference on the case for the G. While the G is not my favorite map, I feel that the colorful dial with an emphasis on blue works really well with the white metal. Hearing a well reasoned opposite view makes the discussion al...
Definition of great art?
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 26th, 2016-06:12
Something that makes you keep looking at it...... The 5131 has that!
