Would you guys trade a BN 116508 for a PP 5164?

Laostuh · 6 November 2021, 08:06 AM

If I'm the one trading the PP yes. Vice versa. No.

Yep, this. Welcome to the forum BTW OP.

huncho · 6 November 2021, 09:50 AM

no way

Benzsiam · 6 November 2021, 10:21 AM

Both are gorgeous and in the same price range, so pick the one that sings to you the most.

PP move up a level in watch making

OrangeSport · 6 November 2021, 08:10 PM

Out of the frying pan, into the fire

travisb · 6 November 2021, 10:28 PM

For me it's a yes. The 5164 is one of my favorite Pateks.

ap1 · 6 November 2021, 10:42 PM

Patek

beshannon · 6 November 2021, 10:50 PM

I would have already done this.

blufinz52 · 6 November 2021, 10:50 PM

I would...defintiely.

garyk · 6 November 2021, 10:55 PM

Omg, no way. The Daytona is one of the most beautiful watches on the planet. The PP is great but no way I would do this.

joli160 · 6 November 2021, 10:56 PM

I would not, the only thing i like about this model is its name.

bp1000 · 6 November 2021, 11:40 PM

This trade simply does not compute.

Solid gold Daytona with an interesting dial, regardless of the hype, for a steel and rubber travel time, nah.

t65tampa · 6 November 2021, 11:43 PM

That's a big AquaNOT from me.

macrowatch · 6 November 2021, 11:50 PM

Yes. In normal times YG Daytona easier to find. List price of the Patek is higher (ignoring the desire for a metal bracelet). Good deal for you all around assuming you like the aqua design.

Dr.Smellody · 7 November 2021, 02:41 AM

No thanks

sski · 7 November 2021, 03:04 AM

i would never trade in a hunk of gold for steel but that's just me. i would add to the Daytona but not let go of it.

KWSub · 8 November 2021, 04:10 AM

I own both the 5164 and the 116508. Probably my two favorite timepieces. They both have a comparable new price from an AD, and comparable market value. Also a similar WR (120m - 5164, 100m - 116508).

But that’s about where the similarities end. Patek vs Rolex. Steel vs 18k yellow Gold. Strap vs bracelet. GMT vs Chronograph. Date vs No Date. Lightweight vs Heavyweight. Exhibition caseback vs 18k gold caseback. Under the radar vs extremely flashy. Highly legible vs borderline illegible. Etc, etc.

It just comes down to your personal preference. I love having both because of how different they are. But if I was forced to pick one…

The 116508 YG Green dial Daytona is my favorite current Rolex reference, and the most beautiful modern day Rolex, imho. I believe it is a modern day, and future, classic. But I would probably choose the 5164. It could be a perfect “only watch”. It’s somehow considerably more sporty/casual than the 116508, and dressier at the same time. It’s travel ready. And (at least in this comparison) it’s significantly more under the radar, while still being a Patek Philippe.

Real facts:
it’s a choice between not being able to read the time or the time not being accurate due to inadvertently changing it.

Both amazing watches on paper…practical use may differ

epicurus · 8 November 2021, 07:47 AM

PP for sure

Neom · 8 November 2021, 05:37 PM

I doubt the daytona will be a classic - green colored dials never were classics and I don't think it will change anytime soon. They seem to be fashionable more than anything else.

Zyfon · 8 November 2021, 06:05 PM

Even though I love Green, the Patek is on a whole different level IMO. I say go for it.
