Don't get me wrong

The 5130 is a spectacular watch with a great complication, and I would love to own one. It's just that if you do travel frequently across timezones it's not the best companion.
The 5164 is a wonderful watch, but I also balked at the price. I already have a JLC Reverso Duo, PAM 233, and GMTIIC so don't "Need" another travel watch. To balance the books though I would have to sell all of them to get the 5164 and that's a step too far for me.

5130 World Time or 5164 Travel Time
By: Greenwatch : April 15th, 2012-06:19
Hi again! If you were to choose either of these two, which one would you go for and why? If your collection already include a Calatrava AC and a Nauti Jumbo, will a 5164 complete the collection? Thanks for inputs that may be shared.
Wow !

Hi Nico, Another great picture, so precise in the details ! How do you do ? By the way, I do agree with you : PP worldtime is a cult, so original, so classy, so everything... I will join the club very soon ;-) Best Didier.
My problem is ...

I like both of the pics that you have shown especially the left one and I like the Travel Time as well. I don't want if there is such a saying that "once you go Patek, you never go back.". I think the more common saying is "all roads lead to Patek." and t...
I thought the same question a lot.

And decided to go first After that my next choice was: I mean the one on the left... Aquanaut will be the next but I want to get with similar bracelet as this: I really like the new Aquanaut but I would like to get a version with both a bracelet and a Tro...
Only one answer

If you travel then the 5164 is the one that's worth having. The 5130 is a great phone watch, but pretty much useless for travel if you cross timezones.
I plan to travel more often...

In due time as my kid goes to college soon. I prefer something practical and I really like the 5164 the moment I saw it in this forum. It is the price tag that is keeping me from taking the plunge, in addition to its availability.

How about the 5134 (GMT/Travel Time)
By: descartes1 : April 16th, 2012-17:33
If you are talking Patek dual (or multiple) time-zone pieces, I think the 5134 needs to be included in the discussion. It's the one I chose:...
Some thoughts on the 5134
By: descartes1 : April 17th, 2012-11:09
You are welcome. I think the 5134 is a great choice. It's got classic calatrava styling but with an interesting and useful complication. It is also relatively thin, so it works well as a dress watch. Yet, it also has a modern, sporty element to it because...
Thanks again...

For the detailed features and options available in the 5134.
5164
By: w220 : April 17th, 2012-07:59
My choice would be the 5164. Much more practical in day-to-day travel situations. Dual time zone that can easily be adjusted back and forth, and it has date as well as day/night indicator.
