In that case, get the 5164.

Easy. If choosing between a Rolex and a Patek? Its Patek, it's always Patek.
And you also have a Rolex. New black ceramic Daytona? Perfect combo.

Dude. No contest. Aquanaut sold America.

So it's between the 116718 vs 5164a?

Tough one. I love both of them. I wear both equally everywhere. The Rolex is much more robust but the PP feels so much more sophisticated. When neither is appropriate, it's my BLRO.









I've thought about trading the 5164a for a 5164r but usually prefer my gold watches on bracelet.

I love my 5164a- the gmt hand is so much easier to set than the rolex. If it was 5164 vs a BLRO that would be a really tough decision.
In your case go for the aqua in steel.
