Very nice, love the 5164R
I wear 5167A daily, for many years. No Problem with the watch and it’s mechanism but there were some scratches; I was not particularly being careful. I made the mistake of having it furbished which completely ruined the case but Patek was kind enough to replace the whole case which I do not think happens very often. My advice would be wear it daily but just look after it. If you get scratches, live with them and don’t have it refurbished.

Celebrating Australian Day with my first Patek Philippe 5164R
Hi Guys I purchased my first PP 5164R back in October and didn't pick it up until recently because I'm taking it overseas to get Duty Free on it. One thing I have learnt is that if you like a PP don't hesitate or at least put down a deposit on the spot be...
First of all, big congratulations for this new incoming and your first Patek
If I don’t own any Patek, I don’t know why yours could not be worn on a daily basis. It’s splendid so enjoy it everyday if you want. Best wishes Alkiro
Congrats. Your 5164R is a beautiful watch.
I wear Patek some 360 days a year - just very seldom I take something else. You can easily get your Patek polished. The bezel and clasp lock of Aquanaut are real scratch magnets. My solution is that on normal days I wear mostly 5960A which has a polished ...
Thank you
The clasp already few scratches none of the bezel as yet. Do you know how much to get get the case polish ?
You can see all the prices from Patek’s home page.
Please note that you can’t polish gold till eternity because each and every polishing removes a little bit of metal. That’s the reason why I mostly wear the steel watches. On the other hand, you can also simply ignore the scratches. Best Kari
"Simply ignore the scratches." 100% right! I wear PP every day and virtually every reference I own shows the clear signs of wear = scratches 😀
I know they can sting when first discovered, but with time all of these "love marks" will add to the character of the watch and remind you of the fond memories you'll carry with you. My two cents 😊
Awesome
I'm pretty good at ignoring the scotches on the JCL but on the new 5164 just hurts a little. Thank you Kari, I will check the Website.
Huge congratulations! And a fine choice! 👍
I wear a Patek daily, and feel quite naked without one on my wrist. 😆

Runined Case
What happen to the cases? Don't think Patek would like to replace the whole Rose Gold case
I had to insist and it was a long drawn process
Here is the link of my original post. Still pains me every time I remember it. www.watchprosite.com By the way, you can get only the covers (not the whole clasp) with the Calatrava cross if you get a lot of scratches on the clasp. It is much cheap...
Congratulations on such
A cool reference.I wear my 5167 almost every single day for more than two years,Occasionally I wear my nautilus and 5960 but the aquanaut is more versatile.....The bezel is a scratch magnet indeed but who Best, Ahmed
If you enjoy so much you should use it often.
In rotation with your other watches. My advise. Cheers! Geross
Definitely wear it daily, if desired. I'm impressed with you wearing the Duo as a daily piece when you have the DS in stock.
Very cool that the Duometre got so much wrist time. Cheers, John
Congratulations
on your first pickup, depending on the metal will determine how often I will wear a watch. A Gold or Platinum metal watch being polished over and over again will heavily diminish the value as grams are being scrubbed away from the weight. Stainless steel ...
I wear my 5712/1A everyday
Don’t see the point of having something and not using it - there are some scratches due to normal use but that’s part of the charm. Watches are meant to be worn.
congratulations on a wonderful 5164R
it is a wonderful reference. I do not see it being an issue to wear on a daily basis. I personally wear a Patek 5 or 6 days a week as I believe they are meant to be enjoyed. On a pure practical perspective probably your Rolexes are easier daily wearers bu...
Everyday...
I wear my 5980 all the time. I use to not wear my Sea-dweller at work because I was worried about looking pretentious. Then I realized I was just punishing myself. Wear it and enjoy it. Scratches, that’s called living life.
It's a beauty
now you know why you should not ask your woman for permissions, you are grown up man😉
