5164 or 5711r
Hello everyone. Want a daily watch and also want to get a rose gold watch. Budget is $50000, so I think I can just choose one. What do you think I should pick? 5164a or 5164r or 5711r?

Your budget is $50k for a daily and a rose gold? Or just the daily?

the 5711R is a real beauty, the 5164R has its charm, but neither is probably a good daily...unless you don't mind scratches. i lugged my 5711R around in planes during night flights and there are scars ..... also i keep touching my macbook with it all the time...

I'm on the same hunt, and decided to rule out the 64R.
it came down to having world timer vs full bracelet, the latter won out. also find the lack of adjustability of the rubber strap/deployant to be rather annoying for a 50k watch. at least with the 11 i can add/remove links. |

Oh 5711, that bracelet is stunning in RG. A good candidate for a forever watch.

i voted 64 too. You want a daily and even most 5711r owners here do not wear it every day.

Go with the 64 in steel. It will be the best daily wearer of the 3.

Go for the 5711R, you only live once, and PP can polish your watch if they must.

Not sure whether I can handle it or not. Just 23 years old. |

First choice if funds permit: 5164a and 5711r.
Second choice: 5164r if you want a bit of bling. You could add the 5711r later. |
