5164a and Platinum CS Havana. You stuck to the rules and only selected one (of the 3) and this way you still get the Havana dial on the beautiful manual wind CS, which is just perfect on the wrist.
You’re welcome.

If you get the 5164 it’ll be the only GMT you need. Then you can sell your two Rolex GMTs and add the FPJ Havana as well. That’ll give you a beautiful and diversified collection. Anyway, that’s the way I’d do it. Whatever you choose, it’s an enviable position to be in. Best of luck!

Normally I’d suggest going with the 5168g, but since your collection already has such variation in colour, I think the monochromatic 5164a will complement it quite well.

Agreed. The RG of the FPJ is very nice hue.
I will choose the Octa Havana over the other 2 choices. |

It is a little of an apple to orange comparison. I would say go with what you like. There is no wrong or right and depending on if you want fish or meat for dinner.
The only input I have is that, if you already have a nice Patek collection. Adding a Journe to your collection can add variety. And if you don’t like it six months down the road, you can always sell it and most likely won’t incur a large loss. I have both PP and FPJ and I will not be able to pick between the two. I have been wearing the FPJ for most of last week and is wearing a 5320 for this week. And I enjoyed both. |

I'm going to throw my vote in for a Journe simply because it's so different.

Ok boys, I paid for the 5164A. Inc next week. Thank you all.
Why 5164A? One of my dream watch, Back then it was only over Usd30k but I hesitated to get it. Also my first time to buy a heavy hitter watch made of stainless steel.

I have 5164. Both 5168 and Havana on the way. I will rank as follows
(1) 5164A - Most versatile amongst all. Most iconic and very comfortable to wear (2) Octa Lune Havana - Brown dial is very special. Long power reserve. Superior movement design compared to the traditional 324 series in both Pateks (3) 5168 - Simple and elegant. More importantly is an Aquanaut. There is always something about the Aquanaut........ |
