Nice writing and beautiful pictures...as usual My pick is the 5110P by far the more balanced in my opinion and I don't really like the kind of enamel "a la" 5131.

Patek World Time 5575, 175th Anniversary. Thoughts and pictures
By: amanico : December 4th, 2014-00:01
I finally had the opportunity to see it in the flesh. To say it straight, I was less disappointed than on the first pictures I saw. It is a Watch to be seen in the real, as suspected, if you want to judge it. The case, which makes you think of the Omega S...
Thanks Nico,

I feel easier now. I decided not to stalk the watch because of readability. At the same time a small devil inside was asking me if I should have jumped for this as it was an Anniversary Piece. I am stalking some other, more exciting things now and it look...
Thank you for report and family picture ;)

That last shot is an excellent overview and first comparison shot I'm aware of Funny 5575 on your shots is during new moon Coincidence or necessity? :) Best Damjan
Thank you for the excellent report

This is a model that i have always loved. In this version, what i most like is the case and the shape of the lugs, in addition to the "starry night". I would ask for three dots of lume on the inner bezels (at Geneva, on the Sun and on the Moon) and on the...

Anyway

5110p is of course discontinued 5575g is sold out And now, it's quite official, 5131 is discontinued So on the last pic, we have a trio of vintage Patek
Good review Nico !! Glad to see your some of your views differs from

others' and mine on the 5575. These differences are what PuristS should provide in order for each other to gain a better understanding of various angles in considering this piece. For me, the curves on the sides of the case is what makes it more "sexy" / ...
Different points of view are great.

If we all agreed on a Watch ,it would be boresome and not very constructive. The 5575 has soem good and bad points and the global feeling will differ from one to another. It is a bit subjective. And as an extrem fan of the Patek World Time, I have a level...
i wish i would never had this NO GO opinion re this watch
By: EDJA : December 9th, 2014-01:00
as i like the overall look on my wrist and artezan craftmanship of this beauty. But, as i mentioned, this fault with the Moscow time zone was main reason not for go. I am buying watch not for collection in the safe but to wear it and travel with it if its...
The more I think about
By: Time to watch : January 19th, 2015-23:26
The fact that all the anniversary world timers have dials which are blatantly inaccurate, The more I question the reasoning behind their release in this form. This complication focuses specifically on world time zones, and frankly i am quite surprised tha...

Firstly, congratulations on your Anniversary WT! May you always wear it In good health. Thank you for your reply and insights, which I agree with in some parts. The timezone switch first occurred in November 2009 in Russia. It was an experiment that laste...
Hi H, great suggestion on ...
By: GLau : January 21st, 2015-08:37
"the opportunity to install a correct dial should be made available free of charge to owners should they wish" An offer like this by Patek would bring a lot of goodwill to the 5575 owners and Patek collectors generally. Cheers, Gordon
I think Patek should keep Moscow where it is now...
By: carnegie : January 21st, 2015-09:21
5575 is a commemorative 175 anniversary piece produced in 2014. I think therefore as such, it should have Moscow time zone where it was in 2014. It makes it even more interesting and unique reflecting extra piece of history in 2014. Thus, Patek did the ri...
And today my friend my AD called and mine was in so for me love and happy!
By: SteelerFan1965 : December 15th, 2014-18:25
One must see in person to tuely appreciate it's beauty. The dial is spectacular and watch has an uber cool feel to it. I am over the moon over it and glad I was fortunate to get one as here in States they are very hard to come by and demand sky high. Chee...
I gota say...
By: masterspiece : December 15th, 2014-21:55
when I first saw some of the pics, I thought, eh... it's a little "stealthy" for me making it hard to read. But your "real world" pics, well that changes my mind. That wrist shot brings out the beauty of this anniversary edition. I'll have to see it for m...

By: Baron - Mr Red : January 21st, 2015-03:31
......when i say i understand "completely" what you mean, I really do mean "completely" LoL I find this a very alluring and attractive watch. Its aesthetic is intoxicating.
My question to you is this.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : December 13th, 2014-01:13
If you forget the horological logic of case size, movement size and limited editions........ Is the 5575G the most aesthetically gorgeous watch on the wrist between the 5110G, 5131G, 5130G and 5575G? Which one looks like the "killer on the wrist?" I am ta...
Now I know to who I will propose my 5575
By: ch9698 : December 13th, 2014-02:10
if I want to sell it Very funny the comparison between girlfriend and wife, but... It's my wife who convinced me to take it at the Patek event so... And as usual, she was right because it's really a very elegant and "personal" watch and fortunately, I don...
Thanks Nicolas!

For the amazing review. I do agree that little bump to hide the moon is kind of weird. That said, I think I'm poisoned on the 5110 now. Oh no! ;)
