Rolex GMT full rose gold (Basel 2018) or PP 5164r?

Both pieces are statement pieces, but which one would you rather go for?

A tough choice between those two. But most people wouldn't like the tropical composite strap of Patek 5164R; well, it's just a glorified rubber strap. And so, my choice would be Rolex GMT.

The 5164 might be my favorite Patek reference but I still choose the RG GMT.

Tough call. The RG Rolex looks beautiful but having owned two GMT Rolex (LN and BLNR) neither stuck.

I had the opportunity to try on the 5164 this past weekend (many thanks to Tom), and I’d definitely go with the 5164.

What blew me away was the dial ... pictures do not do it ANY justice.

Thank you for your input, i was in love with the 5164r but this release changed things completely for me. Can't wait to see this gmt in the metal, i'm leaning towards it.

I like both so, a 5164a and TT GMTc, which unusually I prefer to the full gold.

Shockingly, I'm going to go with the Patek. (Huge GMT fan here) The full Rose gold may just be too much for me at this point.

Both mouth watering pieces, though.
