but wouldn't a better comparison be the platona against the 5990?

Or the Pt versions of the 5131 and 5711.

But from the poll, daytona for me.

Aquanaut never sang to me.

Own both.

Make more money and get both.

ts3 · 12 August 2019, 09:59 PM

Not a big fan of the Platona but would prefer it over the 5164 as I dislike those pushers and don't want any travel time complication.

A971 · 12 August 2019, 10:13 PM

If you want a daily, no question the 5164.

Platona too heavy.

GreenLantern · 13 August 2019, 04:51 PM

See, that's the thing... Those of us that love the Platona love it for the weight.

So it's all subjective.

Also, you posted this in the Patek subforum. :) Post it in the main Rolex forum and see how the poll shifts.

In the end, buy what you feel makes you happiest... And enjoy it in good health!

AquaNOT.

Never like them and unlikely I ever will.

Platona for sure.

ap1 · 13 August 2019, 09:10 PM

Platinum for me, maybe even diamond dial

guanxi · 23 August 2019, 06:08 AM

Patek Philippe 5164A Aquanaut Travel Time...obviously!

One of my golden rule :
Steel for sport watches, Platinum for grand complications.

I own both of these and LOVE the platona...but my wife made the decision for me as she has claimed the platona as hers and i'm "stuck" with the 5164a

stockjock1975 · 23 August 2019, 09:16 AM

I owned them both. VERY tough to answer since they are such different pieces. But...if I was forced to pick I would have to go with the 5164.

Why? A couple reasons. First, the Platona is just waaayyyy too heavy. Conversely, the Patek is a dream to wear. Secondly, the travel time complication is more useful than the chrono on the Rolex.

I’m actually waiting for my 5164 to reach nib 506 pricing to consider this exact move, it may be awhile. I need Mayer to push the 64 some more

srvrf · 23 August 2019, 10:58 AM

5164 for daily wear, travel and legibility

jer276 · 23 August 2019, 12:30 PM

Not really a fan of both watches, but I would go with the platona.

BigAppleBill · 23 August 2019, 12:58 PM

Apples & oranges. I dislike the Platona’s brown bezel, so I guess it’s the 64.
