I´d have a 5167A.

SS 571x and 5167 is a great combo.

If I can get it for retail price, that will be great. But the premium now make it almost the same as gold version.

Really nice. My consideration is that if I choose 5167r. It will be combination of simplification and complication. If I choose 5164a. It has different function. Hard choice.

Sorry.

As with the 5712 you already have a nice complicated watch I´d definitely add a 5167, either A or R.

Is R much more easily get scratch? Actually, I am on the list for 5164a but my dealer told me it will be late in 2019, if I change 5167r, it will be much faster.

The 5167 is a great choice. I personally would like the R to mix up the metals

My 2 cents though - I still feel no collection is complete without a watch on a strap - whether casual or dressy. Patek, Lange, FPJ, Vacheron all have fantastic pieces on a nice strap. Or you can go with the flow and get an AP RO or AP ROO :)

2 watches total or 2 Pateks? If it is two Pateks then the 64A and if two watches total get yourself a 116500LN White Dial and call it a day.

LOVE IT! I have the 5164a and waiting on my 5712, awesome combo and you really need nothing else after that. I will likely sell off an ROO and just keep my FC Diver for fun but may even end up selling the blue 15300 once the 5712 arrives. Two fantastic pieces which cover 95% of what you would want.

Does it have to be a PP? Because an AP openworked would be right at the top of my list

My only 2 watches If I would own a 5712... I would add a 3712, flip the 5712 and give a shit about any other sports watch and add a Voutilainen Vingt-8 or a Lange 1, period.

5167/1a-001 on bracelet, then add your choice of Patek Philippe original equipment manufacturer strap such as rubber, or crocodile leather strap with pin buckle or Calatrava cross deployant clasp....

Now that my friend it will be a killer combo...

I’ll vote 5167a but biased since it’s my only PP.... on wait list for 5712a which will complete my patek pair.
