There is also another alternative
There is also another alternative, in the form of the Aquanaut reference 5165. The 5165 is 38mm, vs 40mm in the 5167. The 5165 is however rather rare and may be difficult to find.
Which one would fit the most a 30ish yo man?
Hesitating between the 2... Really like the Slim and calibre of the 5120 Like the shape and sport look of the aquanaut... Any advise ? Also my wrist is a 16 cm...so fairly tiny! ...
Calatrava
1. Iconic 2. Caliber 240, if its good enough on WT's, PC's etc. it says something....
Iām in my 40ās and I would vote Aquanaut.
That new chronograph Aquanaut that is š¬
What are you intending to wear your PP with?
A suit, then definitely the 5120 Casual wear, then definitely the Aquanaut A mix of dress and casual--neither is ideal, but I'd have to vote for the Aquanaut as the 5120 is too dressy for casual wear IMO. Cheers, John
I wear a suit everyday for work
and during the weekend I am more jeans/shirt/blaser so not really sporty wear
They are of course totally different, so in the end it really boils down to your personal tastes, and also lifestyle, opportunities of wearing one as opposed to the other, etc...
My personal preference, as I'm also in my 30's (though for only 5 more months...) and I own both a 5167 steel and a 5119 (not the 5120), is definitely for the 5167... But again, this is your very personal choice, and the 5167 might not be readily availabl...
As other have said, two totally different watches
The 5167 may be the sportiest Patek you can buy, while the 5120 may be the dressiest Patek you can buy. They are not really comparable. One way to solve the problem is of course to get both Here are some pics of mine. Sorry for the terrible quality of the...
My vote goes to the Aquanaut
But as others said, two totally different watches. I would need some context information to make a case: at least intended use and current collection info. Enjoy the decision making process, and let us know the final result please š
that's how the aquanaut looks like
and also a calatrava 37 that was too big for me due to the lugs... that's why I was thinking about a 35mm There is no specific context but i wear suit everyday and I wanted to have a very classic and simple watch... was actualy thinking about getting the ...
Interesting to see how the 5164 seems to fit better your wrist than the 6000, being almost 41 and 37 mm respectively
Considering the watches you have, you could perfectly add both, Aquanaut and Calatrava, as they would complement nicely the existing ones. In the Calatrava range, I would also have a look at the 5196, it could fit your wrist better than the 6000 and you c...
thanks for your reply
indeed i was myself surprised by how it actually was not looking that "big" on my wrist when I tried the aquanaut... I never had in mind to try it thinking it's gonna be way too big anyway. The 6000g is too big due to the lugs... really a shame as I litte...
It's the same to me, I don't buy any watch if it doesn't fit my wrist
And that's the reason why I didn't got a 6000 in the past. I love it, but for some reason the case and lugs don't work on my wrist. Btw, the Aquanaut looks nice on you! š
If you can get both , get both.
I kinda like the 5120 but it has no seconds hand so to me its odd. Doesn't show the watch is alive. Whereas the 5167a has a seconds hand and is very comfortable on the wrist. But the 5120 is definitely a dress watch. Just prioritize. Get the 5120 first th...

I would second that
The 5165 would fit a a 16cm wrist much better than the 5167. Start searching...
Depends on your awesome level
If you are super awesome, then the calatrava. If you have a moderate level of awesome, then the aquanaut.
Depends on when, how and why you wear your timepiece..,.
Iām making a big assumption that this will be your main and only timepiece, if so ask yourself when will you wear it? If you plan to wear it often to work with a suit and you generally dress smart during evenings and weekends, then the 5120 is a good choi...
Love the 5120...
...for two reasons. Hobnail bezel has always been a favorite. And 240 movement. Well, also because of its reasonable size. The only drawback, if there is one, is there is no movement on the dial...no sub seconds hand. And don't laugh...hopefully you will ...
5120 is a ballers watch
Some of the most iconic watches RO, reverso, many PP have no sweeping second hands
Subjective choices are not objective
Choices, and questions for choices (5120 vs 5167), should always be made according to the heart and emotions, and according to the facts that are relevant for the person who has to make the choice. To chose between two options, two watches, is a highly su...
As a fellow 30 - something yo
I would suggest you choose the piece that you would enjoy most! As in most of the time. There will be so much more time ahead to go for the safe keepers. But at least you can hunt them down quietly with a beautiful watch around your wrist already. Which o...
Calatrava, all the way
The Calatrava is timeless. 20-50 years from now it will still be perfect. And nothing represents PP more than a Calatrava. If at a later point you are in a position, then get the aquanaut fnk
Good question you posed: In addition to comments by others, I would suggest considering what...
