Hello
Im planning to jump in the Patek’s world. First I wanted the 67, its simole and beautiful. But now I have doubts 64 is gorgeous and love its complications.
HELP

brandrea · 21 January 2018, 04:32 AM

I think the 5164 is the perfect travel watch.

nyc2la · 21 January 2018, 04:43 AM

If you’re willing to spend more, I’d go 5164. And eventually add a 5711 (/1a or /1r) and you are set.

tyler1980 · 21 January 2018, 05:10 AM

5164. Its a great travel watch and a great everyday watch as i wear mine way more often with the 2nd time zone hidden. IMO the dial is more interesting with the date dial vs the 67.

macct · 21 January 2018, 05:29 AM

5164, nice complication and more interesting.

Flex368 · 21 January 2018, 05:32 AM

5167 for me, still love mine after several years of ownership.

elcompa · 21 January 2018, 05:38 AM

5164 all day. Love the dual time zone complication!

mdgrwl · 21 January 2018, 05:40 AM

I was just farting around in my photo studio when I saw this thread.

my choice...

I'd consider thickness. I used to own the 5167 but it was far to thin for me - not what I envision for a "sports watch". The 5164 is a good bit thicker and has more of a sporty masculine feel - while the 5167a was thinner than some of my dress watches.

kultschar · 21 January 2018, 06:00 AM

Debating wether to upgrade my 5167 to a 5164 this year or grab a ceramic Daytona. First world problems lol

GB-man · 21 January 2018, 06:37 AM

You really can’t lose. If funds permit I would get the 5164

dysondiver · 21 January 2018, 06:47 AM

5167 ....clean and simple.

HorologyK · 21 January 2018, 07:17 AM

5164 easier to acquire I would think.

Karbo · 21 January 2018, 07:29 AM

Im taking the gmt.... wonderful

D4UK · 21 January 2018, 07:52 AM

I have a 5167r but I voted 5164 because i think in steel at least its a nicer watch.
but my 67r came to me used and at a good price.

tbh I love them both for different reasons.

Andrés G · 21 January 2018, 08:35 AM

5164

tng11 · 21 January 2018, 09:01 AM

5164 if you can pony up the premium. It's a lot of money for a complication you might not use. Even then, it has a more interesting dial, more symmetrical case and better proportions IMO.

Agree with this. Even if you will never use the second time zone function I think the 5164 is more interesting visually and horologically.

JJ WA · 21 January 2018, 09:18 AM

A few years ago, the same poll had nearly a tie. I love when this happens with a sizable number of votes. It shows that these watches are great and very coveted.

https://www.rolexforums.com/poll.php...ts&pollid=2921

I like both references almost equally, maybe with a very slim preference for the 5164.

HorologyK · 21 January 2018, 09:45 AM

I'm on the fence between this, 5712 and 116500. Flipped the 5711, too boring.

Agree with the boring point and does apply for 5167
I also have both 116500 and beleive me daytona C is a tremendous watch !
5164 + 116500 will suit perfectly well

remz07twos · 21 January 2018, 09:45 AM

5164 is the best but 5167 is the only one that’ll be in my budget ��

mps354 · 21 January 2018, 09:49 AM

Had both, kept the 5164. I love the complication

rebel_1 · 21 January 2018, 10:30 AM

I’d get either on in RG instead of SS. I voted for the 5164 because it’s more useful for traveling.

Peterandwatches · 21 January 2018, 10:35 AM

Both are great. I’d rather take the 5167 and add a Reverso or GMT.

AK797 · 21 January 2018, 11:47 AM

Love the 5164, it is a big premium over the 67 but very worth it.

clintfca · 21 January 2018, 04:14 PM

I didn’t even think about the 5167A, went straight to the 5164A. I had to decide between 5712/1a and 5164A at the time though.

Old answer 67, but 64 has taken over the forum so I’ll jump aboard too

Karbo · 22 January 2018, 06:29 AM

Getting closer

yoast · 22 January 2018, 10:05 AM

Had a 67, flipped it as it was too boring for me
