Recently had a get together over coffee with a fellow Patek owner. Took a few pictures of his 5131R and 5575G alongside my own 5131R.
Quite astounding how different the 5131R's are from each other. Mine is a 2015 model and his a 2016 version so the city rings differ.
Aside from the actual words and the huge variation in the cloisonné enamel itself there are also quite a few other differences - care to play spot the differences?

Tough call between the 5575 and 5131. Just so difficult to read the 5575

Russell996 · 11 December 2016, 02:11 AM

To be fair to the 5575G, the angle of the edges on the hands prevents my limited photographic skills capturing them fully. I had no trouble reading the time in everyday use.

Just stunning watches... thank you for posting them in detail!

At first glance I see:
1. The gold dots at 3/6/9/12 are slightly larger on the 2015 version
2. The red triangle on the city wheel is larger than the black triangles on the 2015 version, whereas the black and red triangles are uniform size on the 2016 version. The black triangles on the 2016 version are all larger too.

Don't forget London different place. Outer little larger.

I love both of them. Do you know if the moon phase on the 5575 or in pateks general moves continuously or does it "tick"?

Also spotting differences between the 5131s, I can see the effects of global warming on the dials :(

pp5575 · 11 December 2016, 02:42 AM

Nice shot. beautiful photos.

nyc2la · 11 December 2016, 02:59 AM

Yes correct on both. 👍
Gold pins are larger on 2015 version and city triangles have indeed all been made a uniform size on 2016 version.

Yes, outer cities wording on 2015 model is on a much larger circumference of circle. Very noticeable when overlaying the watches in photoshop.

At least one difference to find, quite subtle and maybe too tricky?

I wondered if it might be seasonal variations?
No idea what map the cloisonné dial is based on or if the differences are simply down to the process.

Truly magnificent!!

thomaspp · 11 December 2016, 05:03 AM

Nice shots! The 5131 is gorgeous and congratulations to you and your friend for owning these.

incontrol · 11 December 2016, 06:29 AM

All three are spectacular! The 5131 is one watch I would love to have in addition to the 5575.

Only comparing the 5131 models. The 5575 seems to have the same city dics as the 2015 model 5131

Following cities moved to outer ring: Paris, Karachi, Bangkok, Tokyo, Denver, Anchorage, NY, Azores

Following cities moved to inner ring: London, Cairo, Dhaka, HongKong, Hawaii, LA, Mexico, La Paz

Moscow has moved further away from the 3 position
Brisbane replaced Noumea
Sydney moved closer to the 6 position
Marshall replaced Midway
Auckland moved further left from the 6 position
Ryadh replaced by Dubai
Rio replaced by Buenos Aires
S. Georgia replaced by Sao Paolo

The colors seem a bit more bland on the later version?

It could be the lighting or angle of the photo, but are the gold sun and moon more matte on the 2015, and shinier on the 2016?

Hairdude1 · 11 December 2016, 09:22 AM

Excellent shots

AK797 · 11 December 2016, 10:21 AM

Very nicely detailed pics!

Flex368 · 11 December 2016, 05:39 PM

Foxfeather · 11 December 2016, 06:15 PM

Excellent shots. Thanks a lot. Funny how the colors on the first two a different - some places are green on one and yellow on the other. Just goes to show how unique they are. :)

Racerdj · 11 December 2016, 11:02 PM

5131 a masterpiece!! Very stunning photos!!

kneedeep · 12 December 2016, 11:17 AM

Interesting to see how different and stylized the 5131s are as to colors and shapes. I never thought I could say this about any 5131, but I'd be very happy with one of the pictured and not so happy with the other. But I don't have to worry about ever being thrilled or disappointed anyway.

JS4LUV · 12 December 2016, 02:08 PM

My ad just informed me yesterday that 5131 has been discontinued:( And there will b a new ver to b introduced at 2017 Basel fair.

Im off to Geneva tomorrow and Ill ask if this is true or not, have a feeling no one knows yet..

Great shot by the way mate, love them.

Here is mine with real Global warming which has melted the snow away.. I find the 2016 city ring too crowded and prefer the more spacious 2015 one..

raclaims · 13 December 2016, 03:43 AM

Completely makes sense that there would be a new version...loving my 5930 so much so makes sense to base a new enamel on it or hopefully discontinue enamel all together so mine goes up in value hahahahaha
