Hello,

I have a problem, which world timer would you buy?
both are new and have near the same price.
(G i can get from a friend and P from my AD)
Which one would you buy and why?

tyler1980 · 19 February 2019, 06:33 AM

P no question... and from an AD makes it no decision at all, the choice is obvious to me

P

JorgeCCW · 19 February 2019, 09:39 AM

5131p is the sought after one and obvious choice. Platinum feel is something unique , but even though all that is true ,; this kind of watches are meant to be worn on a strap.
Also AD purchase is my prefer choice ,m.

Buy the P and put it on a nice strap...job done!

soundserious · 19 February 2019, 10:01 AM

Oh, easy one.

Jace · 19 February 2019, 10:36 AM

Dissenting view.

I only wear watches on bracelets so this one answers itself. I agree that platinum has a special feel, but I got that out of my system with my platinum day date 40. White gold is hardly suffering. And Patak uses a gray gold, not a rhodium plated white gold. However, the enamel on the platinum one is absolutely gorgeous.

I think the G is the better looking of the two. If only it were platinum. Sigh...

toucan · 19 February 2019, 11:50 AM

I’m a fan of the G

Nat123 · 19 February 2019, 01:07 PM

I understand the appeal of Patek platinum. But I just like the enamel of the G -- the colors are more vibrant and just more interesting to me.

Hamish · 19 February 2019, 07:14 PM

Get an R....the best of all of them

JBP99p · 19 February 2019, 08:38 PM

Really tough one this! I was fortunate to get the R (though would have taken one in any metal!) and have dreamt about owning another variant and I have to admit it's the G that I always seem to turn too. PP allocation on a watch like this is equally appealing though. Let us know what you decide though I don't you'll need any encouragement to show either one off!

Flex368 · 19 February 2019, 08:46 PM

Out of these two, the G for me as I don´t like the look of the metal bracelet on this reference.

Additional reason for me is the northern hemisphere of the P...

exactly!

To me the appeal of these enameled dials is the 'warmth' of them. The R only highlights this aspect.

Whilst the P might be the collectors / choice, it leaves me completely cold. Plus i really dislike the look of it on a bracelet.

R would be the one for me, failing that the J or G. In this particular order. For the price of a P i would look at a completely different watch.

i get that. Even better reason to dislike it for me. I prefer the sunnier destinations!

Sam Philip · 20 February 2019, 01:04 AM

P from an AD from the given options.

I also think R version (with snow) is the best of all of them.

jon_jon · 20 February 2019, 03:48 AM

In deciding between the P from AD with your name on the Certificate and the G pre-owned at market prices, the answer is definitely the P from an AD.

Hermann · 22 February 2019, 06:23 PM

Has here someone the 5131G and the 5131/1P ?
I am afraid that the P is too much shiny, so that the bracelet steals the dial the show.

benzng · 24 February 2019, 08:44 AM

Between the 2, the G for me but that assuming paying AD prices for both. If near same price I would jump on the P.

Hermann · 3 March 2019, 12:21 AM

Hello,

would you flip a 15407st against a 5131G ??

BaselWorld · 14 September 2019, 02:44 AM

Someone knows which of G, R and J is the rarest?

R was in production for only 3 years (same as P assuming it stops this year), the J for 7+ years and G for 7 years.
Each year of R production had a different city ring.

WT doesn’t really interest me - I’ll go G preferring the leather look here
