The Aquanaut is definitely an addictive model. I'm also looking forward to adding my third one, which is actually the 5167R too ☺️ Wearing my 5065A today (old picture):
My wrists are thin, so I don’t own any of the larger sizes from 5168 onwards. I have two pairs each of 5065 and 5066, and then 5164, 5165, and 5167. I’m wearing my 5066j today. 5066 J&A 5065 A&1J The 5065 and 5165 are the perfect size for my wrist
but of course it depends on the size of one’s wrist and on one’s tastes. Also because of my personal tastes, I like the “simple” 5711 better than the 5712. But it’s just a personal preference. But I’m sure your 3800 makes a great duo with your 5065! Thank

The main difference between the Patek Philippe Aquanaut references 5065 and 5066 is their case size. The 5065, often referred to as the "Jumbo" Aquanaut, has a 38mm case, while the 5066 has a 35.6mm case, according to some watch blogs. Both models, howeve
However I believe that 5065 is 38 mm. It is the original 5066 monoblock case, that was 36 mm. Just purchaed 5167R from overseas and it will be here next week. Needless to say, I cannot wait.
In terms of colors, my favorite is your 5167R: absolutely gorgeous warm tones. In terms of vintage feel, I think I like the 5065 a little better. Just a confusing point: having a look at the Aquanaut 20th anniversary Timeline, I see the same ref. 5065 A-0
Origins: The 5065A and the Birth of the Aquanaut (1997) Patek Philippe launched the Aquanaut collection in 1997 with the reference 5065A , marking a bold move to attract a younger, sportier clientele. While it echoed the iconic Nautilus, the Aquanaut stoo
