5130 World Time of 5396 Calatrava

Dec 20, 2012,20:55 PM
 

Hi guys

Just wondering what your thoughts were on these 2 watches.

5130: a distinctively PP piece, although VC make one simpler, the PP is better all-round, and the micro rotor is just fantastic. A unique piece, but maybe a little dial busy and difficult to read the time. Great complication for frequent travellers.

5396: a step into the great PP territory, an annual calendar. Simple, clean lines and useful day/month indicators. A Calatrava classic.

I understand they are apples and oranges, but if you had to choose one, what would it be?
What is also likely to be more unique/collectible in future?

Thanks

I don't care about collectibility, just about love. WT, no doubt about that.

The PP, 5110 or 30, is the QUEEN of the WTs. Some tried to do better, but you cannot beat it. You just can't. Aaah, am I biased? Yes. totally, unconditionnaly. Best, Nicolas

Queen?
