But in this case, definitely room for one more, yes? ๐
I have to go with the P - love the 'Cold as ice' look.

Hi All, the 5131 fraternal triplets say hello !
By: GLau : January 4th, 2019-09:45
Naturally I love them equally but deep down inside I admire each differently. R: Connects with me because the map has Asia and the colors on the enamel dial complements the rose case very well and as a result my heart is warmed. G: Also connects with me b...
If I had to choose one
By: sham1 : January 4th, 2019-10:03
it would be the 5131P but with a leather strap so that it is lighter to wear. I love the white areas on the dial which far exceeds that on the G and R. But you know my personal favourite is still the 5575G
Yes sham, I do remember well your...
By: GLau : January 4th, 2019-10:10
love for 5575 ! LOL !! BTW, my R enamel dial with icy white areas looks really โcoolโ. Without the white, the dial would not have the accentuation which rounds it out well.
Sorry Gordon
By: sham1 : January 4th, 2019-10:17
The R does not have enough 'white' for me. I love the cold, I need more snow!!!
Way too hot here Gordon!!
By: sham1 : January 5th, 2019-09:25
Will be heading to Europe next week and to the Scottish Highlands in February im search of the glorious white stuff!!!
superb trio!
By: keks : January 4th, 2019-11:45
all having a piece of Asia I suppose... but now a J would make a full set! now the hard part is choosing which one to wear I suppose... congrats again!
A terrific trio ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
By: Watcholic_id : January 5th, 2019-00:13
The P & G are my favorite because Iโm with Nicolas, a white metal guys. If I had to choose only 1, then it would be the P. Same with Sham1โs opinion, the P with leather strap would be a fantastic combo ๐๐๐๐พ Thanks for sharing those superb pics ๐๐พ๐๐พ Ch...
Love them all

(1) worldtime complication (2) enamel craftsmanship (3) set Hong Kong time - that's purely personal
Beautiful World!

Thanks for sharing. They all look great! Probably hard to pick a favorite because they all have their individual strengths.
I honestly like them all pretty equally.
By: Mean Solar Time : January 5th, 2019-08:34
I probably wear the "P" or "G" more often ... because the white metal cases work better with the bulk of my clothing choices.
LOL, the 5131P must be really heavy (never handled one yet) ๐
By: 1WatchMan : January 6th, 2019-13:15
I'm not a collector but just a watch lover, and I like certain diversity in my stable. Owning a 5110G, 5231G could be redundant (I know, not really, but kind of). Maybe 5231R could be a better complement. The only 'con' I see is that I don't like yellow g...
โWatch loverโ vs โwatch collectorโ is ...
By: GLau : January 6th, 2019-18:34
an interesting comparison! On the rotor for an enamel worldtime, IMO this is a non-issue because I am forever staring in the front and admiring the enamel map & its contrast with the case. The back can be shut with a lid and I would not mind. LOL !
LOL, that's also true! ๐
By: 1WatchMan : January 6th, 2019-21:42
But I still don't understand why Patek is not paying attention to this mismatch. IMO it's really evident in other watches with bigger rotors.
Yellow/Rose Color Difference Not Distressing
By: Mean Solar Time : January 7th, 2019-11:29
Certainly everyone one is entitled to their opinion and I respect your decision based on your taste. I usually like to match metals ... belt buckle, watch case, ring ... etc, but the Rose/Yellow mismatch that occurs in some Patek references has never both...
It's good that it doesn't bother you, maybe it's only me
By: 1WatchMan : January 8th, 2019-01:35
But to me yellow rotors inside rose cases means "no go". Other combos don't bother me that much, but this specific one does. Don't get me wrong, it's just a very personal feeling, but it makes me think of a sort of "collage" watch. At this level, I would ...
I would pick the R
By: mj23 : January 6th, 2019-08:11
I am a white metal person but find R goes really well with the enamel map. Itโs stunning
Wonderful set
By: jonnlee5711 : January 7th, 2019-19:43
Amazing pieces Gordon. From the pictures I agree with the feel that each dial and metal gives and having recently handled an R, I would say the G or the R would be the first piece I would hunt for budget permitting. Wear them in good health my friend.
Hi Patekova, I love the ...
By: GLau : January 11th, 2019-08:59
heft of the bracelet and have considered using a strap but just have not gotten around to it. IMO the P would look wonderful on different color straps and they would bring fantastic new looks to it.
Bracelet
By: Azzsi : January 12th, 2019-11:52
Is the platinum bracelet inter-changeable to a leather strap? I donโt believe it is - am I wrong ?
