Which Patek World Timer?
Now that prices have cooled and are reasonable, I'm thinking of picking up one of my favorite Patek models.
5110 - Love the guilloche pattern on this one the most. It's basic, but looks nice IMO and suits the watch. 5130 - Dial pattern is less exciting but the hour hand style I like more. The larger 39mm size is probably better for my 7.25 inch wrist. I could go either way, but am leaning towards the 5110 because I like the guilloche pattern more. Is there any other difference between the two that I missed? The 5130 is newer, but I believe the movement is the same and it didn't change in any way from the previous version? |

For me, it’s enamel or one of the 5930 iterations.

I nearly got the 5110R 7-8 years ago, I love that watch. I liked the G when I tried it as well. Many expressed their appeal for the Pt version back then.
You spotted the differences indeed (size, hands shape and type of central decoration). I would add that a few limited editions were available. The Munster, Taipei, Doha and Singapore for the 5110 for instance and the Munich (with a different guilloché pattern), Shanghai, Mecca editions for the 5130. Maybe there were others. The movement was the 240 (maybe they had different specs, I can't help more on that matter; balance wheel, spiral material?). However, roughly the same from outside. Enjoy your hunt. |

I'd go 5110 (pretty much any metal) or 5230P (don't like the G and R there except for the limited G from the NYC exhibition). Never liked the 5130 much. The guilloche pattern is one reason but also don't like the seemingly more sparsely populated city ring(s).
