Gold for both. If I was lucky enough to have these four Pateks, i would sell the two steel ones and add a third gold one. Probably a 5712/1R

Hey Vandy- off topic but have you owned the 5968a? I really enjoy mine but have been thinking about selling and getting a 5164a. Just curious on your take as you have more experience than most!

The brand changed the strategy with sports precious metal watches to increase average prices, we won't see steel sports Pateks anytime soon. Steel Pateks are more collectible IMO.
Also gold watches gets scratches and sleeve polishing very easily (soft metal). |

Never noticed this before, but the arabic numerals on the 5164G look much smaller/thinner than those of the 5164A (at least from the pic above). Is that just the angle/lighting in the pic, or is that really the case?
