But then again i asked myself, what's my definition of daily? To me its a watch that i can wear with both shirt/ shirt with suit. It also should be a watch that is subtle (people will still know its a patek but doesn't attract the same attention as a Richard Mille, which i don't really like), and lastly it should be a durable watch. I meet people all sorts of status every day, and i don't really want to be wearing a full gold patek watch when i meet someone very senior/ successful and they are only wearing a stainless steel/ WG watch. It doesn't really give a nice impression. Taking all the above into consideration, i went with the 5164a. |

i dont think wearing a daily 5711r/ 5164r gives a good impression. then again it depends on where you work and what type of impression you want to give. If you run your own company, then you can do whatever you want, but if not, ill stick with a 5164a. Don't get me wrong both the 5164r and 5711r are amazing watches. Just dont think it should be worn daily, especially by a 23 year old. Just my 0.02 |

I'm 28. In my experience, I can tell you with utmost certainty, that an all gold sport model watch such as a 5711r is just a no-no....at least where I've lived in Europe and the USA. It just comes across as flashy and honestly a bit pompous. This is the case *ESPECIALLY* if you are working under anyone at your job. I know it's easy to get the green light on a forum, and for some to say 'who cares, just wear it'...... but the truth is, your boss better be wearing a Patek Grand Complication if you're sporting a $50k all gold Patek. If he/she is strapping on a Seamaster, that's not a good look for you, nor your future. and even if this isn't the case, you own your own company and pulling down 7 figures.....it's still a bad look in my opinion. It just exudes a bit of arrogance at such a young age. Flat out, people will judge you, I can guarantee it.
Save the all gold for milestones later on in your career. Something like a 5164a? That's a perfect choice and will fly under the radar. Despite the price tag, that, you can wear, even if your boss wears a Seiko. It gives off a completely different vibe, and doesn't come across the same as an all gold piece. Just my 2c, as I'm close to your age and can relate. It's easy to get consumed on the internet looking at pictures, and thinking 'man that's a beautiful watch!'.....but you also need to take into consideration the actual wearability of the model in question. This is a prime example. |

re:above, I guess you can wear the gold watches on the weekend, but considering that this is a daily watch and your young age, i think the 5164a is a better choice |

Just my opinion. I'd rather have a 5164a and a 5196g (a nice sport + dress combo) than just a 5164r. |

But as a daily it will really be a scratch magnet. My preference will still be 5164a. Sport watches look better in steel, but judging from your post, i guess you really like gold watches. At the end of the day, you should follow your heart. We are just here to give our opinions. |

As a 23 year-old any Patek you wear is gonna rub some people the wrong way. In my opinion, that's their problem and shouldn't effect your decision on the watch YOU want to wear. If I'm in your shoes I go 5711r and wear it as a daily. Further down the road you can add the 64a if you like that complication and want to add a little variety.

Id pick the 64A vs the R based on the dial/strap colors alone, not even counting my preference for white metals.

The same concern as me, like the dial color on 64a more than 64r. I should go to somewhere to see the 5164r. It is different look on computer and with my own eyes.

Your picture really affect my decision, it is so stunning. But the problem is that I am lucky enough to on the top list of 5712a on my retailer and I just want to keep 2 watches. So this combo seems not for me.

I would go with a 5164R. It's not too flashy and at has a second time zone complication which always comes in handy if you either travel a lot or want to be in touch with people in other time zones

Then get the 5712 and 5711R. These three are my fave Sport PPs anyway so no bother.

Neither will cut it as daily for me. But if you have a daily rotation combining one of these watches with the 5712, then it could work. But you still need to be carful and even more so if you pick the 5711/1r.

I've read that the whirling sound (when there is wrist movement) is quite pronounced on the 5164. Have you noticed this? Does is bother you? Is it the same for other models on the Patek Aquanaut/Nautilus Range?

Hi, I make these money myself. Not too much, but I do love watches. I can just afford 2 watches as my target since it is not easy for me to make money. If I have family support, I will definitely pick all these three.

Sounds work. Now, my basic target is to 5164r and 5712a. I don't want 2 ss watch since my plan is just 2 watches. Now these 2 watches have different type straps, different color, different dial, different dial color and different movement. I think it is totally 2 different watches. The pity is that these 2 are both complication.

They are about the same on both, a mild mosquito noise you only hear in silence really, I've had some real rattlesnakes in my time by comparison, you can hear over the TV.
