According to Google, the 5131J debuted in 2008, the 5131G in 2009, the 5131R in 2014, and the 5131/1P in 2017. To my eye, it is striking how much the detail of the enamel work improved over that time.
For the pleasure of the eyes: Patek Philippe 5131J/G/R/P ( from left to right ).
My favorite dial would be the J, followed very closely by the G. My favorite metal? The P followed closely by the G. You? Best, Nicolas ...
Very tough choice: I just can't decide which I prefer here...
So much beauty in each of them.
The perfect combination would have been J dial in platinum on a leather strap
The platinum bracelet was completely unnecessary. The north pole was only loved by Greta.
The first one, J and dial, without the crown guard and without the brand inscribed on the bezel. I owned a 5110R but sold it. It didn’t keep time well and the lever button on the left was wobbly.
I had bought the watch new from an authorized dealer. I didn’t like the crown guard either. 🤷🏻♂️
I appreciate the cooler dial on the cooler metal
... but my choice would be J. A good excuse to aspire for both? Haha
Good post Nicolas ! I like best the
all four of them ! Each has a special meaning to me. G & P were produced by Anita Porchet and her team. R has the most meaningful map to me, whereas J was my first love when it came out.
