Patek Philippe 5165A

Anyone knows exactly when the 5165 was discontinued? Also why did they do so? The 5167 is too big for me.... Assuming I want to get a new watch, there doesn't seem to be any smaller alternative (apart from ladies aquanaut models)?

From what I can tell, there is a very substantial pricing differential between these two models when solid steel versioins are compared. Both appear to use the same PP movement (Cal. 324 SC). What accounts for the substantial price differential between Nautilus and Aquanaut?

what do you think of your 5165? Would love to hear owner's thoughts and views on their watch as am thinking of buying one. Many thanks, Joe This message has been edited by Dje on 2010-12-26 09:25:37 This message has been edited by Dje on 2010-12-28 11:09:21

dear all, we all know that the 5165 is 38mm and the 5167 is 40mm. if you take a close look at patek's website however, you can clearly see that: 1. the 5165 is 38mm excluding the crown (in essence the diameter of the bezel) 2. the 5167 is 40mm including apprx 2/3 of the crown so my question is what

Has anyone weighed their aquanauts, wether it was the 5165 or the 5167. I'm curious about the weight difference between the two. Thanks in advance. This message has been edited by Dje on 2010-04-18 13:58:07 This message has been edited by Dje on 2010-04-20 22:53:01

I have the good fortune to have the opportunity to purchase from my local AD either the 5165 (38mm) or the 5167 (40mm). My wrist size is 7.25 inches. The 5165 appears slightly small on my wrist, while the 5167 appears slightly large (which I don't quite understand, because my Nautilus 5711, which is
