Incoming - Aquanaut 5164

I've had my eye on the 5164 for a few months now and I'm delighted to finally get one. It's always been one of my most favourite dials, I love the globe within a globe motif and the sunburst anthracite colour, don't know why Patek call this a black dial. Hope you enjoy the pics.

I think this is the perfect PP travel watch.

I enjoyed my 5990, but think the 5164 would be more versatile.

Congratulations!

Thanks guys, I was also considering the 5712 but think this partners the 5711/1r the best.

Congrats Neil! We are on the same page. Mine comes Monday

Btw you’re right the aquanaut grey sunburst against the applied numerals is a thing of beauty in the right lighting.

I think you should get it now if you want it. It is going to be even harder to get once Neil start posting pictures of his 5164.

Not so easy, but if you put your name down at a few ADs I think you will get one in 3-5 months... altho every month prices seem to be rising on many PPs now which indicates demand is rising. Price of 5167, 5711 and 12 are really sparking.

I did give the YG Blue Sub a boost but hardly anyone had one at the time I bought mine, but many members here already have one, like Kevin, Tyler, Mike etc so everyone knows the quality of this great piece.
