I don't think this treats loyal collectors very well have to say however. It will hurt the 5131 market. Couldn't Patek have made a different motif on the dial or done something a little more to distinguish from the predecessor? Anyway that's my take. All things being equal, I suppose I take the 5231 but I quite like the printing on the bezel and case of the 5131.

You make an interesting point because I agree they could have at least changed the dial slightly to appease collectors.
However i'm not quite sure it will affect the 5131 too much in terms of values as the market is bonkers for these types of pieces. I personally think there is space for both. After all the case is still very different and the branding has changed too.
