Evantseng celebrates Australian Day by sharing his acquisition of the Patek Philippe 5164R, his first Patek Philippe. He recounts the urgency of securing a Patek, having missed out on previous opportunities, and seeks community advice on daily wear for such a prestigious timepiece, contrasting it with his well-worn JLC Duomètre.

Hi Guys

I purchased my first PP 5164R back in October and didn't pick it up until recently because I'm taking it overseas to get Duty Free on it. 

One thing I have learnt is that if you like a PP don't hesitate or at least put down a deposit on the spot because it goes very quick. 

I saw 5164 and 5167R on the same day and went home to ask wife for permission and 1 week later both was gone. Was quiet upset  but  I was very lucky that 

2 month later 5164R came in and I just took it without hesitation. 


I'm loving the watch ATM it has so much class to it. 

Few question I have to all the expert here. Anyone wear a PP daily ?? Since this is my first PP, I have been wearing it every day but 

getting a lot of feedback that heaps people don't really wear PP on daily basis. 

In my last picture I have a JCL duometre and that was purchase in 2016 and that was my daily watch for the last 2 years and it look I have taken it to World War III 

I guess i can always polish any watches up and it will look like brand new, just like to get some feedback on from you guys to see if my watch should be daily watch or a more special day watch. 


Thanks guys

First of all, big congratulations for this new incoming and your first Patek

If I don’t own any Patek, I don’t know why yours could not be worn on a daily basis. It’s splendid so enjoy it everyday if you want. Best wishes Alkiro

Congrats. Your 5164R is a beautiful watch.

I wear Patek some 360 days a year - just very seldom I take something else. You can easily get your Patek polished. The bezel and clasp lock of Aquanaut are real scratch magnets. My solution is that on normal days I wear mostly 5960A which has a polished case. Scratches do not come so easily. In the office I wear often Nautilus and 5650 (=sister of 5164) is my travel and pool watch. I have a bunch of platinum pieces and those I wear when feeling special. Some meetings or I just happen to feel gr

You can see all the prices from Patek’s home page.

Please note that you can’t polish gold till eternity because each and every polishing removes a little bit of metal. That’s the reason why I mostly wear the steel watches. On the other hand, you can also simply ignore the scratches. Best Kari

"Simply ignore the scratches." 100% right! I wear PP every day and virtually every reference I own shows the clear signs of wear = scratches 😀

I know they can sting when first discovered, but with time all of these "love marks" will add to the character of the watch and remind you of the fond memories you'll carry with you. My two cents 😊
