Patek Philippe

When you look at the World Time references created by Patek, there are some links between all these references. For example, an obvious link between the 1415 and the 5130 can be seen when you compare the hands. 1415: 5130: As for the 2523, there are two l...  

.....linking the modern to the vintage. For me, it is a really important part of my interest with the manufacturer. Also, looking through your historic WTs, I also note how each one has such a distinct and seperate personality. Because the modern borrows ... 

I prefer the guilloché of the 5110, but I adore the scissors hour hand of the 5130. Now, the 5131 offers an enamel dial and this scissors hand I like so much... The 5230, I find it more sophisticated, with its complex guilloché and shape of lugs. More for... 

There is something about each that has an almost unique appeal.

I adore the guilloche on the 5230. IMO , i like the guilloche pattern better. And what's best (maybe this depend on each wrist), the 5230 case is very elegant and the curve sits very well, like hugging your wrist, compared to previous reference. Just my o...  

Elegant is exactly how I would describe it.

Can be linked easily to the 2523 which definitely adds a lot to the modern watch,I didn’t try the watch but I am a bit skeptical about the flat bezel being a scratch magnet. I wear my watches mostly with jeans and casual wear so I don’t know how is it goi... 

The lineage you have showed is very interesting indeed. Historical connection combined with new details represent the way to launch new references ! To me, without the crown guards like 5110 and 5130, 5230 looks younger and more modern. This feeling is op... 

I am also looking forward to 5230P. It potentially might be the nicest version of the three last: 5110P, 5130P and 5230P. Best, Kari

I like more the size and case of 5230. But let's see what will be the colour of the dial. I'm afraid that if it's blue, I'm gone. Best, Kari

I often feel that the world times is perhaps the definitive time only PP Best Imran

Quite an informative post Nico. My 5130g steeped with tradition and history. Very happy to own it. Best wishes. Geross. ...  

All modern versions offer their own charm. I have had the pleasure of handling most regular production modern world timers and find them all special in different ways. One simply can’t go wrong among the choices offered.... personally for my own lifestyle...  

i share a similar view...i think....you mention 5230 twice above???? 5230 feels more elegant and formal. Its why I think it might appeal more to the older than younger guy.

Meant 5110/5130 series more relaxed. For me more suitable to wear as I like wearing my watches to my every day life which mostly involves jeans and a sweater. Even my 5131 works superbly well for this, just like my gilt submariner does. Yes perhaps the 52... 

Keks, you seem to get the same “feel” from them. Of course, I think I would be very attracted by a 5231/30 as a dress Watch. I think it would be stunning. Business suit. Etc.

it really helps me deepening my knowledge about the history of PP WT. really appreciate this PP has done a very good job in mixing the past & present when it comes to their WT line up. nostalgic yet novelty. and just like you, i love everything about the ... 

I must say some of the vintage WT are lovely but to expensive for my taste. I like all WT, 5110, 5130, 5230, 5131, 5575, 7130, 7175, 5930 and not to forget the fantastic 5531.. you have watches for all taste and wallets. I’m missing a few but will get bot... 

......well done!
