Patek 5167

Looking to add pp5167 to my collection. I m thinking about bracelet version can someone kindly offer any opinion whether to get rubber or bracelet version ? I have the 5980 and 5712,,,and looking for a daily Patek 5167. thx in advance

Personally I have the bracelet version and I'm most satisfied -- I've found it a very versatile piece, by far my Patek that ends up getting the most wrist time in Italy...

Also, remember you can always purchase the strap from your AD at a later stage if you would like, while the reverse process is not possible (you can't turn a 5167A into a /1A). Here's a few random pics of this piece, the last one on my girlfriend's (small...  

rubber to bracelet

if I get the rubber version, can the bracelet ( if I get the bracelet from ad),be fitted into the5167/1a rubber version?

Nope, the 5167/1A is the bracelet version, 5167A is with strap. As I said, you can buy a rubber strap anytime from your AD if you purchase the 5167/1A, and hence turn it into a 5167A...

However, the bracelet won't fit a 5167A, so if you start with the rubber strap version you can't later "upgrade" it to a bracelet. Cheers.

rubber vs bracelet depends on your style of clothing and also...

weather. I was told by an AD that if one buys the bracelet version, one can get an extra rubber strap as a supplement to the bracelet. Apparently bracelet is not available for sale if one buys the rubber strap version. Good luck !

It's really personal preference

It's really personal preference, but having said that I'm very happy with mine on a bracelet. It's without doubt the watch I use the most, and believe me I use it for everything. It's currently away for service and I miss it already. Here surrounded by so...  

rubber is my preference

h\but you should try both if you can

since you are asking an opinion...

considering you already have a 5980/1A and 5712/1A I would opt for rubber... just more versatility in collection and it does wear lighter and sportier on the black rubber... great choice regardless... good luck!

Go for it. The rubber strap. It's very comfortable. 👍
