Patek Philippe

Dear all, This is my first review on WatchProSite. I am going to give a no non-sense, non-technical actual wearing experience on my 5167A which I brought in September here. I believe a 3 month ownership is enough for me to write a honest review of this wa...  

...very nice photos ! This reference is versatile. I have seen different versions of the aquanaut being worn with suits by investment bankers and private equity professionals, and it works ! Congrats on owning this piece. Cheers, Gordon

Which is why I am desperately trying to get it right now since I've had it serviced/refurbished. Yours looks beautiful.

but there were problems when I got the watch, with the refurbishing (I strongly advise you to look after it and never get it refurbished), dial and rotor. They replaced the case as I insisted on it, it was very badly done. I am waiting to see what happens... 

And it loves the water too ...  

A question: Isn't the bezel a bit scratch magnet? From your pictures, it can be considered as a quite polyvalent watch. Dressy, and casual, I mean. Thanks! I am looking forward to reading your next reviews. Nicolas

I landed from Cuba less than 2 hours ago after spending 14 days in the outdoors museum of communism. The only watch I had with me was 5167. It is so comfy, understated and still represent perfect quality. In other words my #1 warch for communism. (Both Fi... 

My choices are likes 5960P, 5975P, 5070P, 5370P... Chronograph and platy. Best, Kari

I couldn\'t see that the strap bumped out on your wrist as you described, I thought it looked good on you. If the strap feels too big though, have you got it correctly sized?

I have the original 5165/a-001 (I believe that’s the correct ref.), which is 38mm I think. It fits my small wrist very nicely. I use it a lot and it shows the wear. FWIW the last time I sent it to PP for service (at the Stern Agency in NYC), when I asked ... 

and that you use it as it should. About refinishing, you can do it later down the road if you want. There will always be some Patek references that will not be consensual and that is a very good thing for a brand imho. Firstly, because it can appeal to di... 

...Hi Nig, I fully agree. The watch is too big for your wrist. Actually, the earlier versions of this watch would look great on you.
