Thoughts of 5134? Also, thoughts on 5134g vs 5134p
I really want a dual zone watch but need a dress watch more than another casual watch, so leaning away from 5164. Does anyone own, or used to own, a 5134? I'm thinking of buying one from grey market but was hoping to get some feedback as I've never seen it in person. As a secondary question, for those that have seen both, which do you prefer, the 5134p (dauphine hands with skeleton home time hour hand) or the 5134g (traditional black Patek hands with white gold home time hour hand)?
Thanks in advance! |

I had one for a short time, bought it site unseen. It was a very nice piece, but, wore a lil small, even for a dress watch (on me). I replaced the brown croc strap for a black... It served its purpose, then, it went on to serve someone else. I never saw the PT version.

Admittedly I know nothing of the watch you are referring to other than pictures, but just asking are you set on Patek?
I love my 5164 but get why you are leaning away from it as you want a dressier watch with a dual time function. If i wanted a dresser dual time watch i would probably get the VC Harmony dual time. Such a great looking watch. I prefer it to the 5134 but i have seen the VC in person but not the Patek. Its dressy but not overly so which makes it more versatile to me. |

If price isn't a primary consideration, I can't personally see ever choosing white gold over platinum.

I've been considering the 5134 also. Simple watch- wears small. A self winding movement would be nice though
