Alas at a cool half a million, & only 36mm, it may leave me unsatisfied:( All is not lost, this baby at a savings of about 100k, but the loss of the tourbillon & the hobnail bezel, will bring the watch up to a noticeable 41mm & have the beautiful white enamal dial:)

I guess I'd never ever feel comfortable spending more than 100k on a watch. |

Minus 8% VAT. So real number would be around 249200 CHF
317K is US list. I guess Patek thought the Dollar would be weaker when they priced it. Puts a little pressure on HSW Agency and US AD's. |

Cream is better than just plain white imo.

It doesn't look like FremStar has been here yet...
So on his behalf I am posting this wrist shot of his with a 5204P. What does that dial look like?
Answer: Unsure about the color really. But it looks amazing in person. |

Nice review Carl of some very, to me, unusual Patek Vintage watches.
I can see now were the idea for 5131 came from. :)

This one for me
Hey guys, I don't post too much, but very interesting thread, this is one watch I think looks amazing. A one of a kind produced for a HK charity auction. Don't think I will ever get to see it live but.....
