I'm not a superfan of the worldtimer complication. I owned a 5230R but ultimately, the 5110P won my ❤️ It is simply something very special. I like the models with cloisonné enamel, but have never had the desire to own and wear them. They somehow don't suit me
The 5110 is one of my favorites. Just missed one a few months ago at a stupid low price from a dealer I’ve bought from a few times before. Oh well, one day lol
The 51xx models are best by far IMO because of the sub-10mm thickness. The 52xx models then go over 10mm and now the 5330 is 12mm.
Then you see that the ladies' version is sub-9mm which makes me wonder why Patek intentionally increases case thickness on newer models (though understandably 5330 has the date complication).
And I also think double, triple exaggerated stepped lugs on current models (unlike 2497s, 2499s) are not going to age as well as more conventional lug styles
The reference 5130J Hettich Jersey special series were made in 2016 to mark the 50th anniversary of the relationship between Patek Philippe and Hettich. The series was limited to 15 pieces and replaced London with St Helier and the green guilloche centre and green alligator strap represented Hettich colour
