I know there is a considerable difference in price, but which would you choose?...

Flex368 · 2 March 2016, 06:19 PM

Totally different watches but in this case I´d have the 5164 over the 116506.

Lighter, under the radar and has both a date and a useful complication.

Glidelock · 2 March 2016, 06:32 PM

Although there are Patek's that I really like, this is definitely not one of them. Combine that that w/ the fact that I find the Platona in the metal and on the wrist is truly amazing....and I think we know which way I voted!

rabbithole88 · 2 March 2016, 06:35 PM

I love the colours of the platona, but I tend to find chronographs a little redundant as I never time anything.

I liked the Aquanaut Travel Time so much that I bought one.

Great pair! How do you split the wrist time? I have the 5712 and am thinking about the 5164 as a stable mate.

I have not seen the Platona in the metal yet but hope that the brown and aqua work well together. I assume it pops more in person.

They're both in the rotation, but I wear the Nautilus more at work and the Aquanaut more on vacation (which is why its more dinged-up

).

Do yourself-- or rather, your accountant-- a favor and DON'T try on the Platona.

Thanks! It's a Nautilus 5712/1A-001

Let's say the patek is more useful in everyday life unless you have to time things.

Abdullasaif · 2 March 2016, 06:57 PM

5164 since i own one

RamyAshour · 2 March 2016, 08:08 PM

I'm not a fan of the Daytona, but I think the 5164 is close to perfection. One of my grails, just too bad I cant afford it 😁

That particular Patek reference isn't my bag so the Daytona for me.

I agree totally. And I love Patek.

Same here.

Spoonage · 2 March 2016, 09:36 PM

Patek. Although I would be more than happy with either of course. I do love them both and am currently deciding between their little brothers (the SS Daytona white dial, and the SS Aquanaut 5167A).

WhatTheDeuce · 2 March 2016, 09:39 PM

Platinum Daytona for me. Never took to the Aquanaut. If the Nautilus, would be a tougher choice.

Daytona for me - had the 5167 and it just didn't sing to me on the wrist....5164 is better, but I'd prefer a steel bracelet a la' Nautilus...don't like the bracelets for the 67/64.

I love this Patek but Platonaa!

hoanghung45 · 2 March 2016, 11:33 PM

I'll go with the minority so Patek !

JapRs · 2 March 2016, 11:53 PM

Thanks guys!

rebel_1 · 2 March 2016, 11:55 PM

Platona for me!

josephvman · 3 March 2016, 12:19 AM

I think complication has to be part of the decision, so which is more important to you?

I just bought a 5167a instead of a Daytona, and I'll probably trade it up at some point for a 5164, which is a stunning piece. You really need to wear a Patek for a day to understand why they are so special. A Nautilus on bracelet is probably a closer comparison to a Daytona however.

ap1 · 3 March 2016, 12:22 AM

platona for sure

AK797 · 3 March 2016, 12:31 AM

Possibly my fav SS PP so would probably go with that, plus I have a ceramic Daytona already.

Kneecough · 3 March 2016, 12:33 AM

Platona for me... Not huge on that reference from Patek personally.

jjnd08 · 3 March 2016, 12:44 AM

I'm not an Aquanaut fan, so I am going with the Platona on this one.
