PP 5134G -- please share your thoughts with me
May 02, 2024,17:10 PM
5134G looks great in professional photos, but I cannot seem to find some good images on a wrist. On paper, 37mm and 10mm thick should work, but somehow the visual seems a little on the "chubby" side. Somehow, I am still attracted to them. Only the earlier models with Breguet numerals. And only in WG. I would appreciate any comments or thoughts of the watch, especially from owners (past or present). Pics would be wonderful as well.
Thank you!

Definitely chubby

But somehow I kinda like it. I prefer the earlier G with applied Breguet numerals. I have a feeling they compensated for the smaller 215 caliber by making the bezel thicker. As for 5110, worldtimers are not aesthetically pleasing for me. At least at this ...
I can definitely see the appeal

But for someone stuck on home time most of the year, would be wasted on me. I am not much of a world traveler!

Could do the simple math, but this gives an excuse to have a... travel time ;-)
I was never a fan. But that's just me!

Most important is YOU! What do you think about it? I also was surprised this was a manual wind movement. As most people still prefer an automatic on a travel watch. I would highly recommend steering you to a 5110G, 5110P, or a 5130R or 5130P. I find the 5...
Just not a fan of worldtimers...

Dial is a bit too busy for my liking. I spent a little time with a friend's 5131p and while it was beautiful to look at, was just not for me. Re: 5134G, I quite like the idea of it. The aesthetic works for me. I prefer manual wind, given that I have a num...

The new Parmigiana has a similar third hand mechanism and you may want to consider that. The 5134 doesn’t get much love in the PP world (rightly or wrongly). I almost bought one last year but it felt a bit clunky when I looked at it. I prefer the Vacheron...

I saw the Parmi some time back..
By: n0wjsti : May 3rd, 2024-13:14
...while nice, the dial again was just not for me. There's a certain appeal to the 5134 not getting much love. But... right now, its just a romantic notion. I have never seen one in the metal before and my imagination is poor!
Thank you!

It looks fantastic on your wrist! Mine is 8.1" so I think it should sit okay there too. I prefer the all Breguet numerals and hands of the earlier G but your later P looks really good as well.
You’re welcome.

You can’t really go wrong whichever version you choose. They’re all very special.
