As you are an addict my friend
I think you will naturally want the 5231 range too! I am contemplating on this enamel piece. Your disease is contagious!!!

Dear All, With immense pleasure, I announce the completion of the 5131 set of quadruplets !
This journey of 11 years (from when I first saw the 5131J when it was released) or 6 years (from the first catch) is one that I could never have dreamed of ! Each quadruplet has its own characteristics and charm and I love each equally. Having studied the...
Congrats... I have been thinking in the same direction as well
But as I have never purchased secondhand watches before it might take some time or never happen 😏 at least I hopefully can manage to get a full set of 5231 😂 But congrats again.
Hi mean solar time, thanks and I look forward to ...
seeing more photos of your 5231J and 5131s !
Congratulations on a wonderful set.
I dream maybe the same dream for the 5231s. I know I would like to, anyway, whether or not I get enough for my kidneys to make this a reality is another issue entirely. I love all of these pieces, and I can only imagine your honeymoon with this set! They ...
Many thanks BMR for your kind words ! Wish you the best of luck in...
getting your 5231 set !
Only 6 years!? That will take me 6 generations, LOL....
now you're the undisputed Enamel King, Gordon, congratulations. Next....maybe whole set of the 5231, starting with the J? For me, just any one WT Cloisonne will do and fulfill my watch collecting journey.
Congrats my friend on an incredible foursome!! This day truly marks your official coronation as King of Enamel of our forum! :-)
Like Fram, I also never bought second wrist, so I might never be able to increase my own 5131 series (I only have the P), otherwise my second favorite would probably be the R. But I can only imagine the effect of seeing the whole family together --- I bet...
Hi Fab, great insight about why the P is meaningful to us !
BTW, you really need the R because IMO it fits your various criteria well !! Just bite the bullet for for your alma mater ! LOL !
Huge congrats, fantastic achievement ! 👏👏👏
What a gorgeous set. Any of the four would easily make my day, or actually my month or even my year ! And thanks for this great post sharing your feelings about each.
Hi Mike, Great that you enjoyed the post and thanks for your ...
kind comments ! This set will hopefully suppress my urges (especially enamel) for a while, or at least a kidney miraculously grows back organically!
Wow!
Congratulations Gordon, that’s a fantastic achievement and I love the way you ‘analyse’ who each will pass to! Enjoy them as I know you will.
Thanks Gus and I am happy that you liked the...
“analysis” which is really my personally feelings and emotions (ie not really analytical at all!!) LOL !
Hi aris, thanks for your reply and, yes, completing the set was indeed...
a wonderful endeavour !
You are the enamel king Gordon!
And I am glad you have managed to secure all four. The question is will you start another collection with the 5231 range?!
Hi sham, thanks and as mentioned, securing all four proves that indeed...
SLAVE or ADDICT is the appropriate term for my enamel condition ! Are you trying to push me over the edge for more enamel worldtimers ? LOL !
As you are an addict my friend
I think you will naturally want the 5231 range too! I am contemplating on this enamel piece. Your disease is contagious!!! Lake Thun in Switzerland, The symmetrical reflection of the mountains against the water really gets me! ...
Fantastic....but you need the 5131G/175-001 to round it off!!!!
not being a huge fan of Coloured metals the G and P in that order would have me smiling
Hi Karl, 5131G/175-001 is a grail with engraving rare handcraft done on the waves ! Getting this piece would likely involve...
selling the 5131 set ! :-( I understand your rationale for the 5131G & P. Good choices !
Gordon, congratulations!
Its no small feat collecting all 4 . I hope you wear them in good health always. Collecting is a never ending journey, but along the way we reach a milestone, and this is certainly one. Sincerely H.
Thank you H for your kind comments ! Indeed it is a major milestone for me ! I am afraid you are correct in that...
collecting is a never ending journey (which cost limbs and organs !!!) Look forward to seeing photos of your babies !
Hi Ron, thank you for your kind words and ...
great comment on why ask about next task ! The joy will last for years ! Based on that thinking, I will enjoy them until my children demand to possess them. LOL !
Thanks Russell ! Your posts on your 5131R contributed to...
pushing me over the fence to get the R !
Gordon, this is simpl amazing. Huge congratulations
What an achievement to land all four. Somehow, it was meant to be, knowing your love for enamel but to see it happen is so good. Also, thank you for your thoughtful post regarding the four. I will reread it many times, as I am really smitten with the WT. ...
Hi Christian, thank you for your message and I am really happy that you felt my post is "thoughtful" ! Now unfortunately the...
Rousseau enamel lion is jealous because it has to compete with a 5131 set ! Sincere hope you get your enamel watch soon !
Thanks runie ! The joy of this set is immense ! Hopefully we will get to see...
you with the set as well ! IMO, it would be a good trade with your P for a R + another piece.
Congrats!
Had my suspicions but was unsure whether you were going for the 5231J or finding a pre loved 5131J... set looks and feels more complete this way. Bravo! Superb!
Hi keks, given our GTG, you understand...
my thinking really well ! You are dangerous ! LOL !
congrats Gordon
what made you decide to get all 4? when you got the P perhaps? start again with the 5231?
Hi benzng, your 5131R contributed to....
me wanting the R which led to wanting the set ! Hence, you are partly to blame/thank for ! No limbs and kidney left for 5231 for now.
Fantastic four!!
Huge congrats on your achievement! You're truly an enamel slave & WT Master Enjoy them in great health! Thanks for sharing those pics here, cheers.
thanks watcholic for your wonderful name of
enamel slave & WT Master ! An excellent juxtaposition term !
Thanks Henry for calling it a...
grand slam ! Inspired by your term, I would now call it a out-of-the park grand slam ! I am still looking forward to our long overdue GTG !
I know that you are too modest to acknowledge this, but you are the King of Enamels! Not an opinion - a fact!
Congratulations on owning the amazing quartet! I think your analysis of the merits of each is spot on. And the images are exceptional. The Lion must be very happy with all those exotic places to visit! All the best, patekova
Many thanks patekova for your kind words ! At times I still cannot fathom that I have...
pulled off getting the set ! Rousseau enamel lion is jealous as it must share wrist time with others. LOL ! What would you suggest in terms of which enamel watch should be worn for what occasion ? Thanks for helping to settle a family feud !
There are and should be no rules or guidelines as to which is worn when, except what makes you happy.
Eg IMHO, the P can easily be worn with jeans or a tux.
Thanks patekova for your advice ! It is true that each can be...
worn at all occasions as long as I have happy !
Thank you Conkers ! Now is your...
turn for completing your grail set that we talked about !
Congratulations my friend
Indeed a dream collection and a memorable journey as a bonus. Wear them in good health and I hope to see them soon.
thanks jonnlee5711, yes the journey has been most....
satisfying ! When will you visit the set ?
Hi syl2, yes, the WG is really lovely and it was my first love which will forever be the sweetest !! We need to have a...
GTG to let our babies get to know one another ! Our 5131 sets GTG will be of epic proportion ! What you think ?
oh redcorals I think Patek has already invented the...
5231 set to tempt me ! What do do ?
This is great news!
Remembered when I first met you were two pieces in. And so quickly you have the whole set already! Huge congratulations!
thanks traineract ! When we met with my two pieces, you silently ...
poisoned me to get the set ! Hence, you are also to be blamed/thanked for. LOL !
Incredible
Congrats, they all so beautifully balanced... The journey is as good as the destination !
Congrats Gordon!!!
What an amazing set! The pursuit of the 5231 is definitely on your list now! Seems like you may have half a liver still available to sell. 🤣🤣🤣 So happy for your! Keith
Thank you Keith for trying to...
convince me to sell my liver for 5231 ! Perhaps selling half a liver can be justified for buying the 5231, correct ??
Fantastic collection. It is always great to see a collector who is focused, determined and passionate.
To have them all is a sight to behold. Only one comment if you have any money left it might be worth investing in a new phone with a camera that can do those dials justice 😉. Great to see your WT collection. Enjoy. M.
Hi Miles, thanks for your kind words !! I became more...
focused, determined when I received my second 5131 piece ! p.s. photos were taken by my friend's phone.
You are forgiven then 😉.
One Patek enamel piece is a treasure your collection is incredible. Enjoy. Miles.
Hi Miles, Now I must take some photos of the 5131s with...
my iPhone and show them to your discerning eyes !
Congrats Gordon for your jaw dropping Patek World Time enamel pieces!
Getting one is already quite a challenge, with the Patek application process, what more with getting all four. I would say that your passion for the enamel pieces really pays off and I wish you all the best in your next horological journey. Perhaps a 5231...
