Looks great! Congrats. I've been obsessing over this watch lately. What's your wrist size (if you don't mind me asking lol)?

Would love to ditch the Sub but guess maybe my lifestyle requires it!


I ended up keeping the SubC as well. Lol.

But I find myself wearing the 5167 almost daily. I like it more than I thought I would. The Daytona is getting almost no wrist time, the 5711 maybe once a week, and the Aquanaut at least 4-5 days out of the week.

I went to Cancun this weekend for a friends bachelor party and took the SubC, A watch I can forget about and know it will withstand anything that happens. So I think it has its place in my collection.

This is the collection and I think I'll leave it like this for as long as I can.

Hi Mike

Superb pic!

Thats good to know about the Sub, I am actually on a VERY similar path to yourself so your pic has given me a great indication of what my watch collection may look like!!

SS Daytona - also keeping my white
SS Sub - my daily wearer however mine is the 114060 (no date)
5711 - dealer says I am on target for this year.
5167 - have a few watches to flip for this, however I must admit ive also been tempted to flip the Daytona also and go for the 5164. I will see what impact the 5711 has on my Daytona. As I'm not a dress watch person the Daytona is my dressing up watch which I imagine will be demoted by the 5711!

Ideal 3 would have been blue dial 5711, black dial 5167 and white dial Daytona however dont fancy using a watch with PCL as a daily wearer

I did it. Second Patek in a month

About a year ago, I pulled the trigger on a 5164. 3 days later, I got a call from a dealer, many states away, saying that they got a blue 5711 in stock, and that I was next on the list. At that time, I had been on wait lists in several states, for over a year. I couldn't pass it up, right? So I took it. Patek #1 and 2, in less than 3 days. It felt so wrong, but with both on the wrist, it felt so right. I didn't buy another watch for about a year after that.

My banker was incredulous after the first wire, and really didn't know what to say after the second wire.

Yes, I still have both. My latest: Lange 1815 chrono, boutique. Can't take this off the wrist. But I love my pateks. Check out my rarely updated instagram for others in the collection: thehairlesswrist

Funny you mentioned this since it has also crossed my mind to flip the 5167 and Daytona for a 5164. But after consideration I feel the 5164 and 5167 are very similar to justify getting rid of the Daytona. Not worth it.

Those thought are just the mind looking for "the next thing". I need to ignore it.

Yes I think you have a good point!

Also the date on the 5164 bugs me. I would like to add a GMT but maybe not this one.

Think I need to try one on in the near future!

I like having a chrono or two in the collection. I'd hold onto the Daytona. I do love the travel time complication, though. It's rock solid, and you can't beat the comfort of the strap, as you well know.

That 1815 Chrono Boutique edition is something else. Well done!
