Platinum World Time
Very tough choice, and the 3940 is a grand complication, BUT my vote goes to the 5110P. It's the king of the World Time genre in the holiest of metals. That's hard to pass up. Plus, the fact that Patek waited DECADES before resuming production of a World TImer really makes the 5110P extra special.
5110P vs 3940G?
Hi everyone, After several modern Pateks, I am looking to add a more vintage looking piece. My budget is $40K. I am looking right now at 5110P or 3940G, which are somewhat similarly priced. What would be your recommendation? Or do you have other suggestio...
I salute you
First let me just say that you have impeccable taste. Asking to chose between these two beauties is like asking me which of my children I love more. Both are special pieces, unique and magnificent each in their own way. The platinum world timer is an abso...
One more thought T
If you absolutely can't part with your AC then I'd go for the platinum world timer. It's platinum. It's a world timer. What more could anyone ask for? To me the AC/PC is redundant.

Thank you
Thank you both of you for these very thoughtful suggestions! I am glad that I am at least on the right track. I know what you mean my getting one but still missing the other one. I feel like I constantly have this feeling with my collection:) Tough choice...
The good news is that you won't go wrong with any of these two.
2 Patek Classics, here. Normally I would have answered " go for both ", but not in this case. Because, for me, when you consider adding another Patek in your collection, it should have a different movement. And the 5110, as well as the 3940,share the same...
Mate, its quite funny!
we have 100 % coincidence in tastes... I have 5130, 5205 and 5127 and I am also thinking about 3940... Given your collection i would go for 3940 first... its amazing watch and i doubt that PP will produce the 37mm perpetual in the nearest future. I am als...
Ed, I have to agree.
There was a moment when I had side-by-side 3940G & R plus 5110P & 5131G. The perpetual 3940 is really in its best in white and red gold. Both of the mentioned World Timers are beautiful watches. But let's face the fact; those are far from being pr...
OOOOOO! please dont post this queen foto (5140P)
Kari, hi! Dont tease me with your 5140 - i am collecting money for next Besel (which would be Patek 175 years anniversary) :) You absolutely right about 5130 - also there is a readibility issue with rose gold version. sometimes i need more time to look at...
Thank you guys but few more questions
Hi everyone, Thank you very much for some great enabling here. I am still not set though since I need to see these watches first. Kari surprised me that 240 movement in 3940 is better finished than in 5110 since it is a grand comp. Anyone has those two si...
I don't want to be nasty with my 5130P.
You are right with your World Time. I can tell you a secret: 5110P is very very difficult to read and 5131G is even more difficult. When wearing my enamel dial, I chack the time from my mobile phone. So no 5140P. These are for sure much easier: No 5140P. ...
Hahaa! You too Kari!
P.S. If you know where to find brand new 3940 please let me know;) 5140P is not my target anymore ;)))
Thanks Kari
Hi Kari, Thanks for those examples. Indeed, the photo says it all. I am not getting 5131 though (if I could I would of course!). I will make a trip and have a look at these watches. Got to see them. I have handled 5140 and liked it a lot. Will have a look...
3940G !
easy decision for, I love PCs and the 3940G is the perfect one for me :) Mech. ...
In this photo...
I actually prefer Moser. How is this Moser compared to 3940? Looks beautiful!
2 very different PCs!
One is almost 'invisible' and the other 'shouts' a little :) Mech.
5110 P
This watch is not only beautiful (wow, its blue guilloché !) but also have unbelievable charm… When you wear it at your wrist, you travel in your head ! The 3940 is another great classic of Patek, both would be OK but choosing is giving up ;-) Go for the ...
