Celebrating the Patek Philippe Ref. 5100G-001
The 5100 remains one of my favorite Patek Philippe modern references and, after having dedicated a separate thread to the rose gold , the yellow gold and the platinum variants, I now want to complete the tribute by celebrating the last one, which is also ...
Thanks for the post, Emmanuel!
Yes I do have my favorite variant, and here it is. ...
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
Your photo shows how versatile the WG variant can be: with this light blue fabric strap it looks really sporty. And I think this versatility is very unique to this particular blue dial/white metal case combo. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
You are on a slippery slope. I feel a certain passion for this reference, here. :)))
To answer your question, I am torn between white gold and platinum. But the yellow gold is far rom being a second choice. Its dial is just tops... Best, mon ami. Nicolas
Someone recently poured some gasoline on my passion for this reference ! ;-)
The grainy dial of the YG is definitely very appealing.
Super reference.
I saw the R version (grey dial) on a dealer's wrist in the last year or so and it was captivating. Classy and interesting. The G version looks great too (haven't seen it in person) but the R version was so eye-catching... Cheers, John
Yes, the R has what I call a "nocturne" quality. Very warm and appealing.
Platinum and YG are great too. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
Asking price is €240k, which makes 60 for each piece:
that's a huge premium for the complete set!
Thank you! Seeing one in real life is really something else.
Photos don’t do fully justice to the 5100, which is a great reference. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, each has a real charm.
And interestingly even though the YG is the less rare (1,500 examples), it is the only one with a grainy dial, not sunburst, and with black writing and counter marking.
Thanks for yet another very interesting post 👌🏻
I really like these different case designs . And like you said that blue dial isn’t that boring with this watch. I tend to prefer rose gold lately so that would be my choice but who can say no to a Platinum one 🤷🏻♂️
The R has a very appealing "nocturne" quality.
But I tend to prefer the grainy dial of the J to the sunburst of the R. The P is also wonderful. I yet have to see the G: hopefully someday... Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
Thanks for sharing !
This reference and it’s special case shape is getting me really curious about how it would look on my wrist. Being strongly attracted by blue dials I hope to have the chance to try the G or P on. But I suspect that it would be a trap.
It would probably be a trap indeed, as this reference is wonderful
and the real life experience is strong! Best, Emmanuel
Hi Emmanuel, this piece is beautiful and is a delicious 😋
Manta Ray ! Must be tiring on the fingers to wind it to get up to 10 days !
The G and the P have a very modern look.
The R has the same elements of "modern" design (sunburst dial and white writing and subdial markings), but with a warmer and more classical look. The J is the only one with a grainy dial and black writing and subdial markings: it is clearly the most vinta...
