Finally added the 5164A - My thoughts
After a couple of years of a crazy market, I finally added a pre-owned 5164 to my collection. I mostly own dress PP and wanted a sports watch, it has now been my daily watch for a few weeks.
I read a lot of articles and reviews and wanted to share a few things I considered for my purchase : Technical
Value
The future of this watch ? Afer a launch more than 10 years ago, maybe it will be replaced in white gold ? maybe just a larger diameter ? I wanted to add it to my collection before anything change :) What are your thoughts on this watch ? |

Great watch. Great complication. But it’s a little monotonous for me.
I think there’s still room for a 5164G or if the next interaction comes I hope it’s in G with both blue and green colours. Size wise it’s definitely the right spot. Congratulations! |

I've had my 5164A for 5-6 years now, it's a fantastic watch. Useful complication and stealthy under the radar. Love it.

I simply love the 5164, like you said OP - it's versatile, comfortable, stealthy, has the right diameter and height for me, love the dial design, and also love the Travel Time function. It's just overall a really great watch fit for most occasions.

It’s my favorite travel watch. IYKYK. It’s slim, light, unremarkable looking, reliable, and seldom seen. Still wish I didn’t need a pusher for the date but it adds to its charm.

Congrats! My favorite GMT out there, even with the phallic GMT hand. Hoping to add one later this year.

5164A is a great watch! I have had mine for 10 years and it is a keeper.
It would be hard to believe that 10 years ago, the AD had 2 of these available for sale and was offering a discount off the list price |

I wouldn't call it slim. it's 2.1mm thicker than the 5167 and it's also got the pushers, making the watch look much much bigger. But if you have a sizable wrist and can pull it off, it does have the more interesting dial.

I am now wearing this watch on a daily basis since a few months, definitely the most comfortable watch I own :)

I would love to have 5164R but the price in secondary market is still way too high.

i'd go 5167a for real everyday watch or 5164r for the bling. No need for travel time watches really, i doubt people really use it nowadays. It's just a fancy complication amongst others.

Congratulation wear it in good health . Im still between 5164 and 67 from grey and to be honest i feel both are still high . And weirdly keep going higher against the market trend.
Can you let me know how much did this cost you ? thanks |

sold mine last year for £80k after having it for 4 years and plenty of wear, is a great watch and I loved it... I got the jitters with it when it got pointed out by randoms who don't even wear luxury watches down my local pub and did get a few non desirables checking me out in city area of London so not sure it's exactly a stealth piece....
wear it, be careful and enjoy! |

Ive been monitoring them and they appear to be around 60-65k from dealers at the moment. I think 5167 has retained grey prices better |
