Exactly.
Baron, you've hit the nail on the head. The proportions of the 5110 seem preferable over the 5130 (and each subsequent iteration) because the 5110 came first and remains the standard bearer. Like many, I have a strong preference for the 5110. While I find it nearly perfect, if I'm honest with myself I'm sure that I would feel the same about the 5130 had the 5110 never been borne.
An analogous situation exists with their perpetuals. While I strongly favor the 3940 over the 5140, I'm sure similar factors have influenced that decision.
Patek World Time 5130G. A picture of my ex one.
2006 was a good year for Patek. This year, they unveiled the new World Time, the 5130, the Nautilus 5711 / 5712 / 5980, and the 5960, if my memory serves me well. Among these watches, I got the 5712 and the 5130G. Both left my collection in a normal way, ...
Very nice shot.
And I agree with your preference for the 5110, even though the size of this one suits me better.
I didn't do the same...but similar
I had a 5130P. I did let it go and it was replaced by a 5110J. To be honest, I know you mention the dial proportions as a motivation for you, but that is a personal ttaste issue. I don't find the proportions of the 5130 as a negative. I did find that I pr...
My main objection to the 5130 is the hour hand.
I just cannot accustom myself to it. And I agree with Nico that the overall balance of decoration of the dial works better with the 5110 size. But for the wrist, I prefer the size of the 5130. And I would agree that if there wasn't a 5110 to compare it to...

I still like them all...
And I really enjoy the 5960P with the grey dial. That is a great timepiece.
This is good, I admire you Amanico for the ability to let go....
my current state of mind is: any watch I get is for the lifetime ! In Patek Philippe case It will find a place on my legal will. Best Regards Edward
