If you're worried about redundancy...
I'd think the 5130 is closer to redundant on the 5212 than the 5205 is. True, the 5205 and the 5212 are both calendar watches and the 5130 is a worldtime. But the actual experience of wearing and looking at the watches? The 5212 and worldtime are both watches whose dials main visual style is a lot of (lovely) text concentrically around the edge of the dial, whereas the 5205 looks completely different.
I point this out because I was also charmed by the 5212, but felt, trying it on next to the 5110 worldtime I already owned (and loved), that the 5212 would seem a bit redundant!
Watch Bug - Suggestions for new Patek
Hello All - I'm from NY and just got back from an amazing vacation that included some Swiss Skiing, Geneva and Paris. I got to spend some time at the boutiques as well as the Patek Philippe Museum. I have to be honest, there were times when I got goosebum...
The Chronograph or the Worldtime
would be my choice. I think the 5170G (white or black dial) would fit into your collection nicely, in particular. Lovely collection btw!
Nice collection
I think 5130 p would be nice as it’s a classic pp complication and platinum case in addition. 6119 is nice as in house movement and I like the hobnail and grained dial. Could be your dress watch or more casual maybe on a grey nubuck. 5205 is nice as it ad...
Thanks for your reply.
I am leaning towards the 5130P and 6119G myself, but that changes on a day-to-day basis. While I can pick up the 6119G at a discount if I go used/grey-market, I wonder if it's worth the extra money to build on a patek relations which I don't currently hav...
If you go 5170...
...I would suggest any reference with leaf hands. These stick hands are just too plain imho... ...
I agree.
I’m a sucker for a good chrono, so the 5170 would fit nicely and agree that if you can source a leaf hands version even better small detail. However, also have the 6119R and either that or the 6119G is quintessential Patek dress that can also go casual so...
Never realized the 5170G could be considered just “another chronograph”
They’re all solid choices… maybe trying them all on will be a challenge
Based on what you say,
both Calatravas (6119G & 6007G) and the World Time (5130P) seem to me to be the more appropriate for your collection. As you say it yourself, you don't need another chrono or calendar and would be happy to take some money back. And if I try to read be...
I know you mentioned RG is not so much your taste...
But I think one of the most unique, engaging, and worthwhile Pateks is to be found in the 5224R. It has a fabulous case that has a stepped architecture and these wonderfully clear, legible numerals. It also employs lume in a non-revolting fashion—lume imp...
I love your selection!
I don't know if it'll suit Dschmidt91's taste, but it certainly appeals to me! Best, Emmanuel
The Patek dress Chronograph is a lifelong keeper
Last time I was in town I made the rounds of the watch resellers and found myself on a dubious office above 47th street. Seedy way to go about it, but I made quick work of it and rescued that 5170R-001 from it's nefarious journey that landed it in the jew...
Lovely collection you have ! 👍 IMO the
5130P would complement well to what you have, especially given that you seem to travel often for personal & business reasons. WT is an iconic line within Patek and it adds diversity to your collection. Best of luck with your decision and we look forwa...
I get that. I tried it multiple times as well.
Also felt small but I’m sure I’d get used to it.
Given what you have
And what you’ve said, I’d suggest buying a 5235. The Worldtime will have the same bad guy issue as the AP IMO.
I'll also throw in in favor of considering the 5235
It didn't suit my wrist well enough (felt a bit too big) but god, what an awesome watch

Indeed a nice collection of candidates
Instead of 5130, I prefer 5110 and with 5170, yellow gold is only slightly ahead of white gold imho. My order would be as follows: ...
Thank you 🙏🏼
Size is always a matter of personal preference. For my 17,5 cm wrist the 37mm of the 5110P feels just perfect. I recently checked a 5130R which imho was a bit too big for me. Maybe due to the long lugs.
