Well...
having had both on the wrist, my inclination is for the 5165.
Patrice, you are correct that vintage Rolex sings to me. But i also have a couple of modern Rolex too. I think the vintage element of Rolex is very much its history and story behind a watch. that doesn't seem as important to me on Patek. Not sure why not. On the wrist, the 5165 took it for me.
Looking like the first buy of 2011!
5165 owners...
what do you think of your 5165? Would love to hear owner's thoughts and views on their watch as am thinking of buying one. Many thanks, Joe This message has been edited by Dje on 2010-12-26 09:25:37 This message has been edited by Dje on 2010-12-28 11:09:...
Happy owner of 5167 since 2009, and no issues
it wears comfortably, young and classic at the same time. I'd recommend the tropical strap as it is the soul of 5165/5167!
i heard that...
... the 5165A is recently discontinued so you might want to get one before its too late! Correct me if im wrong prosite!
5165 discontinued?
Have yoo get any confirmation ? Do you think it will get very hard to find a new one Thanks
5165 discontinued
When the piece is no longer on the Patek website it's usually a great indicator although not to say that you won't find at your local AD.

5165
I like my 5165, but in my opinion it is a little bit too small. I would prefer the 5167 over the 5165, but it wears beautifully, can hardly feel it on the wrist. Very thin, subtle and elegant. Most of my friends say they would've thought it to be a 30$ sw...
Yes...
its quite an anonymous watch, which makes it perfect to wear casually.....pair of jeans, sweatshirt, 5165! I've gone for 5165....will receive it saturday Thanks for your comments
Patek 5165
This is a very elegant casual watch fro,m patek. One that I would wear to a BBQ or even to swim. henry hoe
Love my 5167
It's an easy watch to live with - feels weightless. It's slim enough to fit under any cuff and, as seen on Thierry Stern's wrist, more than acceptable for wearing with formal business attire.
So, the new 5165 arrived on Saturday
It has not disappointed at alll. What i like about it is that it is such an unassuming watch, yet sporty and well-balanced and sits so comfortably. The tropical strap truly suits the style of the watch. I am extremely pleased with the watch. I also have t...
difference
may i kindly ask the forum what is the main difference between the 5165 and the 5167? its sooo hard to find any of these 2 models in our ADs shelves. and why does other patek collectors dont like this particular model? TIA
5165 is smaller than 5167
Who cares what somebody else may or may not like. Its been around for 10 years now and even has a flanker model this year. 5167 is my most comfortable watch ever.
