5167r! The warm glow of the sunburst chocolate dial with that dark brown strap is a sight to behold. Makes the dial less flat IMHO.

I'd prefer the 5167A, especially for daily wear. The 5167R is a very beautiful reference but a little top heavy with the PM case.

5167A. More under the radar, less flashy, and more resilient. Hence a better daily.

I love the R and this it’s superior in its “beauty” but not my style.

The R is completely different watch in the flesh so it’s a definite R from me.

R for sure. The added heft is underrated until you have tried it. And the rose gold and chocolate are great together.

5167A, I always prefer steel for sport watches. Steel is also rarer in PP history.
Gold is a scratch magnet and not stealthy.

Happy to be offered any from the AD.

If money is not an issue, the R.

But given the price difference, and A also looks stunning, so A with money considered.
