Help me choose my next patek
Hi guys,
So i’ve Been really wrestling with regards to deciding my next patek. I created a thread recently and there was overwhelming response from others to go for the 5164a. Now I know I should choose what songs to me but I also do value your input, especially considering that I tend to sell my watches in less than a year as I get bored easily. I currently do not own any RG watch, the only patek I own is 5980 blue dial. Below are the choices: 1. 5164a 2. 5960r black dial (preowned someone offered me below 56k) 3. 5205r black dial Thanks a bunch Last edited by patek2301; 11 April 2018 at 10:58 AM.. Reason: None |

Hearing that you sell your watches in less than a year, I would go 5164
5960R is beautiful, but you would have to buy it at 50k otherwise it’s not worth it specially with your unloading habits. If you intend to keep it long term then you can be more forgiving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why not 5164R then? Seems ideal.

Thanks for the input guys. Is 5960r at 50k considered a bargain?

I wear a 5960 daily and don’t find it too thick. But since Patek makes it in stainless steel, I wouldn’t buy one on PM.
Based on your post, you will become bored with an Aquanaut. So get the 5205. |

I don’t know if 50k is a bargain or not , but at least you won’t lose much. I can see grey dealers giving you 47k for it if you want to unload. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the input.
I’ve narrowed it down to 5164a vs 5164r Price difference here in SEA between the 2 is about USD 15k. I don’t have a Rose gold watch at the moment, but not too sure if I need it. I had the 5712r but sold it off recently as well. If you are me will you get the 5164r and be done? Get 5164a and maybe get a RG calatrava like 5227r in the near future. Currently I have a 5980a, Daytona Panda, AP 15450, AP Diver, AP 44 fc, breguet 7727, Rolex explorer II. |

The looks of 5164R is hotter (IMHO) than 5164a that’s why I got it before; it’s just cooler. But is different when you wear it, Rose gold bezel is a bear to take care , I really care about keeping them clean; so if I had to choose I would have to pick 5164A, I would live much happier. But if you characterize yourself as a person that either don’t care about scratches or you take awesome care of your watches , then you can pick either one , can’t go wrong

![]() Here’s my 7727 I think pictures don’t do justice hehe. The 1/10 second movement is amazing at the subdial. I would love for the subdial to be seconds movement and the main dial to be 1/10 second. But oh well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
