Patek Philippe

Hi all, I am applying fo a PP 5321J World Timer and would like to hear how it ranks with other similar WT versions with the cloisonné dials. It is Yellow gold and 38.5mm so a little smaller than my Patek WT New York special edition at 39mm that is not the...  

A rare handcraft model is considered very prestigious in the Patek lineup, and the quality is generally outstanding, thus also its limited availability. They are true works of art, which are a pleasure to admire with a loupe or just on your wrist. Not to ... 

And thanks for the correction on the size, now I know how it will fit. I have been accepted and the application is being process right now, I have alway wanted the Cloisonné dial, it is quite special...Jim

Just kidding. I can only agree with what Fabrizio said. I love my 5231J but, if you have the chance to still get a 5131/1P go for that one, it’s in a different league (also compared to the rest of 5131s), IMO. Best, V.

I’ve been trying to get the P but so far no luck, I would take that one if I can get it and will keep trying. I feel fortunate to be getting the 5231 and I don’t mind having two especially since the P is platium and on a bracelet...Jim

go for it ! The enamel dial for each is unique and each is intricately hand made. Also, each dial has gone through multiple times in a 800 degrees kiln to get the colors and gradations right. For each firing, the enameler risked the dial being ruined by g... 

The decision is now made with the feedback about history and being pieces of art....Jim

will you get the watch ?

The watch and the AD thought it would be soon, he said when they call it usually means coming soon, can’t wait...Jim

Please share your feelings and emotions once you are in possession of the 5231J ! Let’s see if you will experience similar thoughts as described in my journey.

Regarding Fab comments regarding 5077 and 5089 they are in a league on their own. One day maybe 👍

And since it will be the only one I own fit perfectly with my collection. FRAM thanks for your help and good luck with a 5077 or 5089...Jim

what a gorgeous Watch and fabulous picture you took. The old adage “a picture is worth 1000 words“ certainly fits here. Thank you buddy for the input… Jim

Regarding the popularity of cloisonné enamel WT, I think the reasons include: 1. Rarity. The production volume is limited by the small number of artisans capable of making the dial 2. Every 5131, 5231 is unique, due to individual variation of emamel 3. Th... 

Great input Henry. The layout of the continents is just perfect for me and I can’t wait to see the 5231 for real. Once I get it I’ll post pictures thank you again for your help… Jim

Best of luck in your journey as it can be very long one! To give you my perspective. I first saw it in the catalog almost 10yrs ago and thought it was an interesting watch. I started seeing more pictures online several years later and thought it was a bea...

Really pertinent comments, seems you have really grown to know these watches over 10 years and I appreciate the experienced input. Yes the 7130 G is a very nice watch in its own way but it doesn’t give me the thrill of the enamel dial, I’ve wanted one for... 

How long was your wait/journey?

From now on I will do my best to get the model number and size of the Watch correct … Jim
