The 64 is retail if you add roughly 8% sales tax to the RRP which is $34k. The 26 you are getting at a discount but not enough to make me say its a better deal as that is basically the list RRP before sales tax.

Patek 5164a worth the premium?

To me — that scenario is pretty much a zero sum game — I’d pick the one I like the most and go with it. I’m a sucker for an AC - so personally I’d go for the 26. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I know...and if you get it for 39.4 you are getting it at an 8% about discount as you have to pay sales tax which is the effective retail price of a watch.
The 64 is 34k and you will pay 36k to acquire it at retail when you pay sales tax. The 64 is a better deal just based on price they are asking vs value retention.

I’m honestly on the fence, love them both! I would put the 5726a on a rubber B, was surprised how nice the piece looked that way.

Taste is all subjective. We like what others may not and vice versa. I like the 5167, but that is not to say the 64 is inferior. That’s what makes markets. |

given the 2 choices and taking the price element away, i would go with the 5164a. Although if it was a 5726/1a, it will be a tougher choice. |

Premium over MSRP? No, you should grab one at MSRP, not above.
Premium over 5167? Yes. It looks better, the travel time function is useful, plus if you want a 5711 in the future, the 5164 dial differentiates it. The 5167 and 5711 with the same date layouts, overlap too much in my mind. Whereas a 5164 + 5711 is a stellar 2 piece combo. |

If you want a sports patek - 36K for 5164a seems like a great "deal" in context of everything going on out there. I love it!
