I hope the 64 only gets discontinued after I hopefully get it later this year.

Best of luck!

I’m guessing for the concern of the models being upsized?

in Chrono 5167 is more that $60,000. I bought the watch for the design. Glad I got in 7 months in 2018. Then ordered the steel bracelet , is a great size, great look and yes not a beater… but get a GShock for that. I would not pay above MSRP, maybe a couple of hundreds if wanted a watch that badly.

It’s an elegant, unique SS steel watch that only if you know is Patek you would know the price…otherwise just refined beautiful watch.



I get many compliments from both watch connoisseurs or regular folks.

I agree. One of the reasons why I added a 5167R last year. The size is perfect as it is.

I really like the 5168 and 5968s but they´re simply too large for my wrist.

I think they will just add a LE platinum 5167 with anniversary dial. Possibly in black or in a different colour, dark grey perhaps.

TS will take the super creative approach with either a P version with green dial or Tiffany blue. Limited to 167 pieces.

Nooooooooooooooo!

Yes with probably a lame print on the case back

Upsizing the models would be bananas.

But I think there is precedent to release a 5165 successor: the new 38.8mm ladies Aquanauts and the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time. 38s and 42s side by side, but the CTT proves that the smaller of the two can be a great unisex watch (unlike the current diamond-covered, sometimes quartz-powered, smaller Aquanauts).
