5130P

May 28, 2009,14:59 PM
 

I agree with Joe, it can sometimes be difficult to tell the time off that dark dial. I also have a 5130G, which is always easier to tell the time. Incidentally, for some unknown reason my 5130P (bought 2008) can only run for 45 hours whereas my 5130G can run for 49.5 hours. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the case material, but just wonder if they've made any changes to the 240HU movement over the years that can affect the power reserve.

and so, if I were you, given the economic situation nowadays, I would ask myself which Patek I really want, not which Patek my AD has to offer to me. BTW, do you like yellow gold?

Is the 5130P rare??

I prever platinum above Yellow gold.

Are you a system collector ... ??

Someone i know, he enjoys collecting one different movement from each model. Something you might take into consideration, you still have plenty of time till year end. Seeing the models you have listed, maybe you will find an interest amongst the three mod... 

Try them all, and you'll have the answer.

Very difficult to answer you, and I wouldn't so it in terms of rarity, as a rare but not pleasant watch doesn't mean nothing. So, if I wxould be you, I'd go on the 5130P, because I'm nut about World Time Watches. But it is me, not you... Best, Nicolas

I have the 5130P. It is a truly elegant watch. It looks fantastic. yet, if i was to criticise it, it would be that actually it is quite hard to tell teh time with it. The hands are often camouflaged by the dial. That would be my one criticism. Teh 5960P i...
