Patek Philippe

Not even one month, one shop called me to trade my 5167/1A for the 5164 travel time. I prefer Aquanaut styling to Nautilus, even though Nautilus has one and with chronograph and of course price is higher too. I do a lot of traveling and always take preference with dual time/GMT watches, I would like to hear owners of 5164 comments and your thoughts before I commit the trade in this week. Apart from wearing scratch mark on the clasp, the watch is in excellent condition, being less than one year old. I don't even need to shorten the strap or buy a new one to fit...

I do find it confusing defining home & local time, how would one set up this?? Is it Home time for the country I reside in and LOCAL time being the city I travel to?

home is the time of your home and local is where you are at present.

Hi - I am a proud owner of the 5164 and very pleased. I initially looked for a 5167 but the AD didn't have any but introduced me to the 5164...and I was hooked. I did manage to try on a couple of 5167 (rubber and steel bracelet versions), and while I loved them, I have to say I preferred the balance of the 5164 with the buttons on the left that control the GMT function. That said, you can't really go wrong whatever you choose - functional, comfortable to wear applies to both versions. The complication is useful tho...and looks stunning. I also noticed that the numerals on the 5164 seem brighter/whiter - maybe you could compare side by side. Don't forget you could order the metal or rubber bracelet for your 5167...2 watches for the price of 1!!!...a nice dilemma. Go with your gut. Enjoy

I completed the trade, now I have the watch I always wanted, the 5164. No point in keeping the 5167 since the 5164 has the dual time/GMT I want. The strap is indeed very comfortable but the clasp at times popped open if too close to my wrist, I can live with that.

But only started wearing it a couple of weeks back. Loving it! Wears and sits on the wrist nicely. Goes well with my wardrobe, casual or just jeans and tees. Had a few compliments on how stunning but 'low key' the piece was.

Functions really well with the pushers. The 'tropical' rubber needs some wrist time in getting used to but that's because I usually have metal bracelets or leather straps on my watches.

Overall, it's a stunning piece! Wear yours in the best of health.

Here's a photo of it I took today. Enjoy.

I much prefer this to Nautilus 5990, with a chrono (60 minutes) and travel time, dial too messy for a PP. This is, IMHO, function and beauty together, a really cool sports watch from PP.

Agree totally. Awesome piece. Got my new one 2 weeks ago, and it's basically been on my wrist since. I love the rubber band, don't even know I'm wearing a watch. Just returned from Vegas, home time came in handy.
