Would anyone recommend the 5167A as a daily watch? How robust is the case and movement?

Patek Philippe · 23 February 2016, 09:22 PM

I would recommend it as a daily watch. Really comfortable in all seasons. It is light yet felt robust on the wrist.
I haven't had any issue with the movement so far.

In terms of aesthetic, it is in the eyes of the beholder. For me it is beautiful.

PS, I had to bought it back after I sold it

ralpie · 23 February 2016, 10:33 PM

It's funny, I also bought mine back after selling (5165 though as I have small wrists).

It's a perfect daily watch. Slim, sporty, and Patek movement quality.

texex91 · 23 February 2016, 10:57 PM

It's a fine daily.

The only thing I found with it in the summer in short sleeve shirts is it looks small on the wrist. Other than that go for it.

After reading lots of different options, I took the plunge last week..couldn't be happier with it!..it's very comfortable and has great wrist presence. My 60 year old eyes have no problem seeing the time, and the best thing is my wife loves it!!(has no idea of cost).

Life is short...enjoy it

Haha congrats Peter, hopefully she never figures out the price :)

cervantes · 24 February 2016, 01:24 AM

Great daily, especially if you've got a smaller wrist.

uri40 · 24 February 2016, 02:28 AM

I'm comparing the 5167A with the VC overseas grey dial (on rubber strap, date time only). The overseas is antimagnetic, is the 5167A antimagnetic as well?

Le Chef · 24 February 2016, 02:29 AM

i've had mine for 6 years and it gets regular normal wear that's no different from how I wear my Rolexes. Apart from an early problem with the winding crown it's been just fine ever since.

GB-man · 24 February 2016, 02:38 AM

It's a great daily watch and highly recommended.

HorologyK · 24 February 2016, 06:20 AM

Great daily and doesn't look small on wrist at all. That is, if you don't have a small wrist to begin with.

kneedeep · 24 February 2016, 08:35 AM

Great daily, I wear mine in rotation. Comfortable and one of the most legible watches I own. I would not subject it to activities involving heavy impacts or shocks.

subtona · 24 February 2016, 09:42 AM

Perfect daily wear

mps354 · 24 February 2016, 10:53 AM

It Would definitely make a great daily...I think it could fit into the one watch only collection

alexlt730512 · 24 February 2016, 01:58 PM

can't go wrong with it. you should go for it

soundserious · 24 February 2016, 02:55 PM

Hard to think of a better daily frankly...

Abdullasaif · 24 February 2016, 05:41 PM

I would definitely recommend it for everyday use super comfortable but don't be surprised if you find the bezel ending up with multiple scratches after everyday use

Extraordinarily comfortable for daily wear.

slashd0t · 26 February 2016, 02:29 AM

I could sell my entire collection and wear my 5167 as a daily... In fact, I wear my 5167 99% of the time anyways..

stockjock1975 · 26 February 2016, 03:58 AM

I highly recommend it! From swim suit to business suit....it works perfectly!

Are people paying retail price for the 5167 or AD giving slight discounts?

wisguy · 27 February 2016, 02:29 PM

Get it here, trusted sellers have a few for sale right now.

Congrats, you'll be fine until your wife knows the cost, well it depends in fact on the wife, without mine I would still be in 6-8k max watches, to this date the most expensive was the 5726, not ready for a RM yet but one day should get there, she keeps expanding the limits, only backside is she does the same thing with handbags and other girl things, that sucks...

Well AD's in my neck of the woods don't even want to put you on waiting list for it, at least the SS one, too much demand... Same goes for the salon in Paris
