Can't go wrong with the 5167, a very cool watch, congrats!
If it new from AD or pre-owned? Seems to have the old cream coloured lume?

Congrats and looks good on you in the third pic!

Just curious - is it a new watch? It has the green C3 superluminova (which I like) but which Patek replaced with white C1 superluminova some time ago.

It really looks like C3. I think it adds more character to the 5167 than the C1

Funnily enough the 5164 would not have been as smooth with C3.

The 5167a at list price is a genuine bargain if you appreciate fine finishing, lume and
near ultra thin case size.

Even at grey prices for the right person with a casual lifestyle it's a great buy!

guys thanks for sharing in my enthusiasm! it does indeed appear to be the discontinued c3 superluminova! it's the little quirks like this that make patek philippe collecting so intriguing.

i have been wearing the watch daily for the past two weeks and have been completely taken by this iconic design ! my wrists are quite slender at less than 6.3 inches (16cm) and the watch just feels so good due to its slender profile and rubber strap.

i wanted to grab the 5167 at 40mm if patek increases the aquanaut size to 43mm it might become too large for my slender wrists- as PP has already begun transitioning the 5168 to the larger case.... here is a comparison with another classic, the sub! best wishes from nyc
