Patek Philippe

More often than not, the 5167 ends up on my wrist. It is a long way from being a complicated Patek. It is a long way from being an elegant Patek. In fact, for so many of the reasons that Patek has distinguished itself, this watch stands out as being very ...

I wonder how it would look like in an all black version... Probably not great. Perhaps less elegant, but even more cool is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver watch. That's a fun watch!

It looks like a 5165, doesn't it. Aquanauts wear comfortably for sure.

Isn't the 5165 that was discontinued a few years ago just a smaller version of the 5167? I agree that the Aquanaut is one of the most versatile watches in the PP collection, moreso than the Nautilus. It doesn't scream "Look at all the complications on thi... 

I appreciate your saying it is very un-Patek of a watch. I think many Patek fans hesitate to say that (feels derogatory to call someone else's Patek very un-Patek) and the owners of this piece rarely admit that and try to explain things like "but it has t... 

.....no hesitation from me in calling the Aquanaut an un-Patek watch. No shame either! LoL. Having said that, I also think the Nautilus is also not especially Patek-like. You raise a really interesting question actually....as when one thinks of Patek, it ...  

Baron, I like your approach :-) Oliver

....I do too. It would be a disaster to have to follow trends!

You have two keepers there ! Thanks for sharing.

Maybe the 5167 is so un-Patek that it is so Patek. I wear mine with a suit. Especially during the summer. Most of the time I happen to be the only person who knows what's under my shirtsleeve or suit jacket. So nobody can call me out on my supposed fashio... 

To late! Now we want to see pictures about you being such a bad boy :-) Cheers, Oliver

No faux pas there. But was it suit and brown brogues? Uhm, I'n old school British - that combo frightens me! LoL Best, Joe

Ha. Yes. It was a khaki linen suit. So a pair of brown Church's was ok. I know brown is for the country. I'm old school too. I see men wearing brown shoes with navy suits all the time and I think it looks ok. However I just can't get myself to do it. I ca... 

I was interested to read what you wrote about the nautilus. I never considered it as a sports Watch, nor its AP cousin, by the way. Try to do some sports with it, I think that the Service Dept will be happy to receive your Watch AND your money. ;) Best, N... 

......that i do all the time. No issues.

on a larger wrist. Thinking that the 40m would appear smaller.
