Incoming...5167a!
Well, I’m officially hooked! Second Patek Philippe from my AD, and in less than three months! Received my 5711/1a at the first of the year, and now just received my 5167a!
I know at first glance these two are similar pieces with the movement, size, and bezel. But they wear and look very different in the flesh. And this may be sacrilegious to say, but I think I like the 5167 even more than the 5711! It doesn’t photograph as well as the Nautilus, but it’s stunning in person! I wear shorts, t-shirts/polos and flip flops most every day and the Aquanaut goes with that lifestyle perfectly. Needless to say, I couldn’t be happier! Coupled with my 114060, I think I’m set (for a while, haha!) with my 3 watch mini-collection. And this forum has been so educational and knowledgeable about brands and references, without being condescending to others with different opinions. I appreciate the insight and I’m grateful to be a member here on TRF!     Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So lucky to get both the 5167a and 5711a! Congrats! Can you share the secret in acquiring both those gems in such a small period of time?

Looks great. Definitely need to pick one up.
Does anyone know if the updated clasp from the chrono will make it to the rest of the range? |

Congrats! Hoping for a reverse of your order (have the 5167, waiting for 5711)- thanks for sharing how both can coexist in a collection!
