Thanks Dan....
close call here and not sure whether it merits a full vote for the 5196.... but since you voted through action I have to give the 5196 a point here, you do have a 5196 after all and that says enough... but your argument for a 5134 is one I concur with!
11-5 it is!

5196P vs 5134P battle
Was discussing with a friend recently as he is looking for a dressy watch... discussion got to debate between these two. Similarities: - both cal. 215 - both platinum - both 37mm - both essentially time only (as travel time can be “hidden” from view) - bo...
Personally, the 5134p as it has a deployant and has a dual time zone mechanism. 👍🏼
Both are nice watches to own. My opinion. Geross 😃
2-0...
Unexpected start but suspect match not over...agree very cool complication and well suited on this one Thanks!
Personally I’ll go for 5196P...
It is the essence of Calatrava - the best connect to 96 which emphasizes elegance & understatement. There are very less 36/37mm dress watches in offer to explore...even most modern calatrava are growing in size consistently 🤐 Best, Mahesh.,
Ok getting closer 2-1....
Thanks for vote. Valid points you raise there... Size growing is perhaps good for the few that really has big wrists... also good for people like me as reduced the choices I have to make... already too many!
The problem of the 5134 is the 5110. The 5110 killed it, in my opinion. As a travel time cannot compete with a world time. One is an icon, the other is a nice watch. Not the same.
While the 5196P doesn't have this problem. Best, Nicolas
2-2...!
I see your point but I would say the 5110 and 5134 are quite different still... personally I would find the travel time more useful in a practical sense when traveling time zones whereas the word time is a more romantic view of the world... in my opinion ...
Thanks...
Find this pic to be quite a good one of the underdog... sober, sharp, minimalist, very stylish in my view. Especially when the complication is hidden and it looks like a 3 handed with 24h indicator only... ...
5139 has a different vibe..like an outsider. It gets my vote although I hardly ever use a world time or travel time..
I simply do the math automatically when travelling😉
3-2 in favor of the underdog... still remaining in a lead albeit marginally
Thanks for participating!
Ok but 5139 is not in the race....
Under this legal framework the court has declared the typo to be unintentional and intent has been recognized as such
Personally I find the 5134 really really ugly.
On the contrary the 5196 is one of my favourite modern patek: sector dial and breguet numbers means an heavy vintage inspiration.
3-3 it is then!
Thanks for participating! Personally don’t find it ugly at all but we all have different tastes! ...
5134 is surely a nice and practical watch but... 5196 gets my vote with no hesitation
5196 has much more PP DNA, is linked to PP history, has a wonderful classy and timeless design while the design of 5134 is a bit dated imho. Let’s wait for the final result of the battle
Quite a tight race so far...
And with your vote the 5196 takes the lead for the first time! 4-3 in favor of 5196 it is! Thanks for voting
Yup
Small advance for the 5196.... 5-4 in its favor now! Exciting still... thanks for vote!
5134P for hands, crown guards, bezel, and function
Always on the fence about 5134P and ultimately chose 5107P, but never found the 5196P as compelling because of thin bezel, shape of hands, and Breguet numerals. Park
And we have a tie again.... 5-5
Thanks for your vote. Can’t go wrong with a 5107P.... gorgeous piece!
Beautiful thousand words there...
6-5 lead for the 5196 then.... Thanks for your vote!
Hmmm....
Not sure I am ready to acknowledge this as a vote to the 5196P... However I can sympathize with your feeling. A 5196P with a more interesting movement would really bring it up a notch....
Boy, this is a really close call as I like both of these and owned a 5134 for several years
The 5134 has a really cool complication, but I find it far more compelling in a sport watch. The design of the 5196 is more coherent and beautiful. The 5134 has a much more contemporary design. So, taste comes into play in a significant way. If forced to ...
tight vote...
but the lead expands here.... 9-5 towards the 5196 thanks for thoughts and your vote! I agree both are quite good...
quite a dramatic turn keeps gaining momentum...
10-5 towards the 5196.... hardly a battle at this point... thanks for your vote!
Considering PPP ...
... which obviously stands for "Patek Philippe Purity" in this special case, the 5196P. For pure raw-power functionality, 5134P. I have a 5196 but I keep thinking about adding a simple 5134 for business travel. I like the discrete class of the 5134's size...
Thanks Dan....

As several have mentioned here, one is an excellent watch, the other is an icon.
I don‘t own a PP and I‘d go for the 5196 as it is the quintessential time-only calatrava. It‘d be the logical thing to do to start a PP collection. On the other hand, if I already did own a couple of Calatravas, Or if I didn‘t want to have a watch that ma...
another very close call it seems....
yet on the margin 5196 scores again, 12-5 now! agree in a practical sense the travel time complication is more useful and practical.... whereas world time is design wise special! thanks for your input and vote!
Simply because 5196P has a solid case cover
and it is an iconic Calatrava, the choice is a definitive 5196P.
another one...
now hardly a battle... 13-5 in favor of the icon! thanks for your vote1
So we have a winner...
At this point I think it is fair to say we have crowned a winner in this battle. At first it was a close race but by the time we got halfway the classic icon started finding momentum and pulled away.... 13-5 win. Seem like an easy victory but battle felt ...
The first Patek I ever saw in person was the dual time on right
It sold me. I owned a few afterward. The plat. time only I admired for years... NIce. I'd take the left, easily.
