“You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.”

The 5130 comes in 4 variants: White Gold (5130G), Platinum (5130P), Rose Gold (5130R) and Yellow Gold (5130J). At an average retail price of around £50,000 to £60,000, this will be one model that would appeal to avid travellers.

If I ever have £50,000 of pocket change, this is one model that I would like to add to my collection.
