Patek Philippe 5110P: 21st Birthday
amanico
Ultra or High End apart, this is the reference which made the strongest impression on me, along with the 5070, the 5100 and the 5960.
To tell you the truth, I had a hard time choosing between the 5110 and the 5100 as my first Patek. The 5100 was magic with its special case and its 10 Days movement, the 5110 ade me dream with its world time complication. Think about it... How many watches offered such a complication at that time ( Ten Days or World Time, by the way )?
Fate helped me to decide. I couldn't score a 5100 at that time, and it was easier to find a 5110. The dream turned into reality on the 2d of November 2004....
You now know the conditions I got my 5110P, I wrote it several times, but a friendly AD, a superb place ( Taormina ) and a great offer male the moment even more special. AND, waiting 4 years before being able to get it, that is something which counts, too.
After 21 years of ownership, I can tell you that Love is even stronger than the first day. I can even tell you that it is one of the few watches I consider as a keeper in my collection.
So, most probably, you will have many other Birthday posts about this watch! 
Best,
Nicolas

Great to see you still in love after 21 years, and not in vain, as after 21 years the 5110P does not look like an old watch but like a powerful wine it is becoming more elegant and balanced as years pass by, also its design became somehow more contemporary imho. To many more 21 years.

Such a magnificent background to a magnificent watch! The question is where will you take her on this special occasion, and do we see a 5100 or 5960 in the near future?

Ah! That is a great question. Allow me to take some time to give you a satisfactory answer... ;)

Patek loves to add a complication to the Chronograph: Annual or Perpetual Calendar, without or with a Minute Repeater, sometimes with a Tourbillon, we all know that. It is less known that before 2016, Patek offered a world time with a chronograph! It was in 1940, and it was a piece unique. Here it is: In 2016, Patek unveiled the 5930, the ( flyback ) chronograph world time, which has a white gold 39, 5 mm case, 12, 86 mm high, with a typically finished blue dial. In 2019, another version came, for Singapore, ...
