Started a business 7 years ago and used the proceeds from selling all 3 of my PPs: 5135R, 5960P and 5110J, to get the business off the ground. No regrets....it worked out well.
Luckily, during the last few moths was fortunate to re-acquire some models and add the PPs back to my watch collection.
Of course, I've spent a good amount of time using Google and some other search engines gathering various information, but did not succeed to find out all the info I was after.
Hoping that some of the members here that bought these same watches around the same time, could chime in.
5131J
- my dial has the original configuration of the cities (i.e like the 001 dial) but the Certificate of Origin shows 5131J-014 which would suggest that the watch shouid have the updated disk with all the cities (the certificate is dated in 2015 and the purchaser's name was filled out as * Anonymous*...which I found interesting).
- I wonder if there is a mistake with my Certificate ?
5711:
IIRC, 5711G (J & R) were made only from 2007 to 2009.
- what were the MSRPs for the *G* model when it was introduced in 2007 and when it was discontinued in 2009?
- Since Patek introduced the PP seal in 2009, did any of these 3 models made towards the end, come with the PP seal or did all of them come only with the Geneva seal?
- did all 3 have only the 324 caliber, or did the earliest ones come with 315 (just like the first 5711/A)
5496P:
Recently I purchased 2015 5496P with the hone!y-brown dial.
- and what year was it discontinued?
- what years was the honey-brown dial offered on 5496P
5960P:
- what year was the 5960P with the original gray slate dial discontinued?
5135P:
- when was it discounted? (2014 ?)
5123R:
- what were the production years
Im not asking about prices *because I bought these watches as an investment* Not at all. Im very much a watch nerd going back to 1996. The market prices are what they are and it does not matter to me. This time I'm planning to keep these wonderful watches for many (MANY!) years.
I'm just trying to find all possible details about my watches.
Thank you kindly in advance for your input
