I admire those that can wear a steel bracelet in hot weather and not be bothered by it. I am at Disney World where the heat index is 103 degrees now and wearing my 5167 on tropical standing in line for the Rockin Roller coaster. The watch is very comfortable and the strap even more so - very breathable strap despite being black. This is by far the most comfortable watch combo I've ever owned and would never part with it. After considering another PP that is twice the amount and comes on an alligator strap, I am now looking at the 5167r instead due to the strap comfort. Cheers.

Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167a vs 5164????
I went to a Patek AD looking for the 5167 and when I saw the 5167R I was blown away. I can only afford one really nice watch: the 116719 or the 5167R. I would chose the 5167R. Absolutely stunning piece! Beautiful picture! Congrats! |

I voted 5164 because: Complication > No Complication IMO.

One thing that is missing from this discussion is the "implied" value of the GMT function. The base 5167A goes for $20,500 USD, while the 5164 goes for $36,500, leaving a delta of $16k = value of the complication. I'm not convinced that having a second hand to track a timezone is that complicated of a feature (i'm open to being "educated" if in fact this is difficult endeavour from a horological standpoint, e.g. having a chrono function). That said, i don't mind the face and buttons of the 5164, as it does have more wrist presence, however the value proposition appears off to me.

value on the 2nd hand market would be more of a factor for me, regardless of the original price.
