Ive always liked the 5065. The Jumbo! Its really starting to creep up into the 5167 price range.

Great piece!
That was my very first Patek, bought when nobody wanted aquanauts.
I sold it to help my Nautilus purchase....for 10k

Wow that’s awesome! The dial’s waffle-pattern reminds me of a steel hand grenade!
