Jut picked this up!
It's insanely beautiful The dial is very crisp and while I took this photo in poor light while waiting for a plane in real life the colours on the dial are very bright and really pop. Also unlike other 5131's I have seen the map is quite defined. No snow but who cares. Summary = I LOVE IT Crappy photo and I will post more later The dial is far more intricate than expected. I can see this one getting a lot of wrist time |

Thanks
You can tell I am tired and posting on my phone given my previous post!
Incredible is a great description!!! One other point that comes to mind is the Patek Philippe and Geneve writing on the case which I was worried about is barely noticeable Quote:

Congratulations! And you definitely have snow on Alaska and a strip of central-north Russia.

Other initial impressions…..
My daily go to watch is my 5370 which I absolutely adore….really adore…. It is the best of the best….the only watch IMHO that comes close to it is the 5970P but I find the 5370 more legible. In comparison to my 5370 this watch has a warmth to it that my 5370 and other P Patek's don't. The rose gold IMHO is really the best metal for this watch. While I may consider a P if my AD is feeling generous I am completely happy with this watch. While most of my watches sit in a vault I can assure you this one won't be! |
