As a special gift and for an everyday watch,

what are your thoughts/opinions/analyses/conclusions on:

Patek 5164R vs. AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar (in steel or gold)

Much appreciated!

If money not an option the PP, it looks awesome in real, but the premium is insane for a little gold...

texex91 · 19 August 2016, 09:10 AM

For me AP RG no doubt

AK797 · 19 August 2016, 09:26 AM

I love the 5164R.

namussuz bilo · 19 August 2016, 10:15 AM

Ap ro

Vipes · 19 August 2016, 10:30 AM

I like the AP Royal Oak perpetual in RG better than the 5164r.

mps354 · 19 August 2016, 10:45 AM

I'm hoping to see an ap royal oak perpetual calendar this weekend, so I won't vote until then. All great options though

RUK · 19 August 2016, 03:59 PM

That's easy - royal oak perpetual. Really good vale for a well made perpetual.
Don't really understand the logic of a rose gold watch with a tropic strap. Not my cup of tea

I would go with the AP

TimeOnHand · 19 August 2016, 09:47 PM

The AP PC is awesome!

rolex_addict · 19 August 2016, 10:02 PM

AP perpetual

GB-man · 20 August 2016, 12:56 AM

AP PC!!! And I love aquanauts.

That mp is to die for. Choose your metal. Mine would be steel

Edit: is this person into watches? A PC may be a bit much to deal with if they aren't somewhat savvy. Maybe not though....just a thought.

kilyung · 20 August 2016, 04:16 AM

Not a fan of AC/PC complications (blame it on a bad IWC AC experience) so I'd go 5164 which is one of my favorite watches.

freedevil · 20 August 2016, 05:43 AM

Get the 5164R

jschmidtdmd · 20 August 2016, 06:45 AM

I would select the 5164R here, but that is my preference!

DECR · 20 August 2016, 06:58 AM

Easy for me. RO Perpetual.

RHJ · 20 August 2016, 07:06 AM

Pp!

soundserious · 21 August 2016, 10:02 AM

AP, classic complication in a classic design.

jd57 · 21 August 2016, 12:19 PM

Very different watches. Love the AP perpetual but went the other way

jonathan17 · 21 August 2016, 12:27 PM

I like the RO perpetual cal. but i must agree that the 5164R is also a beautiful watch when I saw it in the metal. tough choice, i like moon-phase complication so my vote here is the RO perp.

RussW · 21 August 2016, 07:47 PM

I think the RO PC is the better watch, but I'd get the 5164 as I'd wear it more often.

Abdullasaif · 21 August 2016, 09:08 PM

5164r

erics · 21 August 2016, 09:56 PM

I much prefer the simplicity of the 5164r.

Hollister · 21 August 2016, 09:59 PM

No contest: AP RO.

Daytonaman799 · 21 August 2016, 10:11 PM

The RO PC is awesome but does not hold its value at all. th PP will hold value a bit better overtime. If you are never trading it he RO is just a ton more watch for the money in a timeless design.

I don't know if that's really true, the 5164 isn't exactly flying off the shelves. I'd rather get what I like than worry about resale especially for a gift.

Hairdude1 · 23 August 2016, 10:21 AM

AP for me in this case

Lordofrolex · 23 August 2016, 10:24 AM
