Patek 5167a Aquanaut, perfect for any occasion!
I just came back from a beach wedding in Cancun Mexico. I adhere to a 1 watch policy when traveling abroad.
The Patek 5167a was the watch I picked for this trip. A few things make it the IDEAL travel watch for me. Light as a feather, it virtually disappears on your wrist. Perfect for: "Otro Cerveza"  OR pushing a stroller through the Hotel Zone:  Or carrying my 5month old around  Stealthy and not "obnoxious" in attracting attention. Only stares I caught were from WIS and who KNEW what they were looking at. It can Dress UP (literally, I was trying out my outfit for the wedding, before our trip)  Or Dress DOWN:  (No I was not playing pocket billiards) Out for a dinner  Or exploring Chichen Itza  Its PERFECT for any occasion.

Patek owners - do you treat your Patek differently than your Rolex or Breitling? R & B are watches you can wear every day, and will withstand the concerns and usage of everyday life. Same with the Pateks?? Are service costs and intervals similar to Rolex?

Service costs for a simple Patek are not much more more than a Rolex or Breitling and the intervals are the same.
