Maybe this means that PP will release more colored straps as well? One can dream ;-)

Kevin O'Leary gonna love this

andyol1966 27 September 2019 03:00 PM

40mm - tick,,,steel - tick,,,500 pieces - zero chance of getting it.

SL BRABUS 27 September 2019 03:27 PM

No doubt about it and it safe to say...... The Aquanaut 5167 has become more popular then ever regardless what color it is.....

:cheers:

Remember, those 500 can only be sold from ADs in Singapore and a few in Southeast Asia.

I expect they'd sell out, obviously.

I'm trying to get one. We'll see how it goes.

EmilA 27 September 2019 04:38 PM

I absolutely love this. Already asked my friend in Singapore to try and get me one of them!

Flex368 27 September 2019 04:41 PM

I really like it. :clap:

But I wouldn´t buy another 5167.

Rushne 27 September 2019 04:51 PM

Hmmmm. Not for me. But I think it might look really nice in person, perhaps the reds are slightly darker in really life :)

Hendrikus 27 September 2019 05:11 PM

This has made me appreciate my very standard, basic 5167A that much more! If I want a bit more jazz or colour with it, I dress it up with accessories.

WatchLurv 27 September 2019 05:33 PM

It's 101% sold out by now. Was probably sold out the second after announcing it.

Ichiran 27 September 2019 05:57 PM

Nothing has been sold. Patek will make a final decision where these LE go to. AD will put up the proposal to Patek on behalf of customers only.

Already contacted friends to see if they can put in some love for me.

I'm surprised, I must be getting old!

MilesB 27 September 2019 06:49 PM

The red's not for me, but it's still a cool piece.

ts3 27 September 2019 07:10 PM

I have always been wondering if the 5968 should come in red rather than orange. Now I have got the answer straight from Patek - thank you very much. That red screams candy so hard that the color should warrant a discount. It makes the piece unwearable in my book. Still like the 5968 though.

jojo 27 September 2019 08:44 PM

What is the price for the red 5167A?

22,400 Swiss francs, or 33,500 Singapore dollar :cheers:

GreenLantern 27 September 2019 08:51 PM

S$33,500 indeed.

metdrdg 27 September 2019 08:51 PM

Love it! Doubt I’ll ever see it in the flesh.

AK797 27 September 2019 10:20 PM

Starting to resemble the AP Diver rollout.

Humble michael 27 September 2019 11:10 PM

Me thinks it looks like a swatch - cheapens a fine brand - what are they thinking of ? :-(

ap1 27 September 2019 11:51 PM

Probably inevitable to cash in. Probably looks good. Hurts a little to see them do this

The SS 7234a is just a few grand less than the 7234r.

And people still can't get it. :thumbsup:

You dont think it looks amazing with the red accents to it? I think it pops. I'd definitely wear this all day.

When tired of wearing it, I could also just flip it for 2x its price after beating it up. :dummy:

CamSLC 28 September 2019 01:35 AM

The red on the dial is great, the red strap is not for me. Matching crocs won't help. :chuckle:

BigAppleBill 28 September 2019 01:45 AM

:thumbsup:One of the things that attracts me to PP is the subtle styling and lack of flashiness. When they get into orange straps and red straps it’s just not my thing. But I’d accept one for free if you’ve got one to spare.:thumbsup:
(...and I’d immediately change the strap to black.):agree:

Pateks 28 September 2019 02:34 AM

Why are people freaking out about 500 pieces. Patek hasn’t sold out. They aren’t losing their way. They still make their other pieces. This is fresh and fun! Lighten up people. Change is good.

JR16 28 September 2019 03:15 AM

It’s an interesting LE and i am sure a lot of people will like the vibrant color scheme . For me, it’s just too red . But I like that PP did it .

I jusr aw one on Chrono24 listed for US $200,000 .... jk
