67 for me. Thinness and clean dial vs gmt utility. Use the iPhone to tel the time 9/10 times. Adding and subtracting hours from my current time zone isn’t typically the toughest task of my day either

I really like the aquanaut and it was the watch that lured me into Patek. I find both 67 and 64 to be superb but the 64 is my choice push comes to shove. The balance of the dial and the overall proportions are fantastic combined with the unusually well executed complication.

5164 for me. The 5167 is a bit ‘meh’ to my eyes.

I am biased, but 5164 for me! Proportions are nicer and more sporty plus the globe-in-globe design of the dial is really great in person. I also love the practicality of the travel time complication.

I picked the 5167 because its simple and elegant plus flies under the radar. If you travel significantly for work or leisure than go with the 5164.

Had the 5164 but given the choice I would pick the 5167. I like the simplicity of the dial and how thin it is.

Both Patek nice watches.

Try put side by side with
Rolex 2 tone GMT Master 2
It’s like heaven and earth

Rolex has so much more impact

Aquanaut worn by Soros,
Rolex GMT worn by richest hotel owners in HK
with over 10 Rolls Royce in his home.

64, and was planning on it. Then the universe turned upside down.

Owned these 3- stuck with the 5167a

Note the 5164A is about 50% thicker so it really is a chunky monkey. It also felt 30% heavier. Would say the 67r and 64a weigh the same.

Had the same decision a while back (when you could get a 5167 for below retail). I ended up with a 5167A and bought the Batman for travel. Best of both worlds.

I love the simplicity of the 5167 but given my wrist size picked up a 5165 last year. Love the clean dial. That said, if I had a bigger wrist the 5164 would be my choice....feel like there is too much open real estate on the larger dial of the 5167 (vs 5165).

Yes, this been brought up many time (5167 vs 5164).......

There no wrong choice......

If you LOVE the 64 then go for it......

As for me I mention this many time like a broken record in my past posts......

I would go for the 64 largely because I am not a fan of date windows at 3 o'clock. To me its such a dated look and throws the dial out of balance.

Traded out of a 5167 into a 5164. Never looked back. I love the weight and the timezone functionality, which suits my road warrior lifestyle perfectly.

I have the 67 and if I upgrade it will be to the gold model. Reason being I don't travel much. If I did travel I would get the 64.

I have a 64 now and had a 67. Both are fantastic.
Just get whichever you can find. I find the 64 is slightly less comfortable, and the date is hard to read, but the 64 has more wrist presence.

The 67 is smaller but just perfection.
