I did think that when I saw the photo of your Patek group.
Funnily enough when I went to pick up my 5711 there was a 5170 in there too, such a beauty. I didn't dare try it on for fear of falling in love.

Bas, maybe one day we will make you change your mind, go sporty

To the OP, the 5167 and 5711 IMO are 2 different beasts, I have a 5712 and am thinking of adding a 5167, have you thought of a 5712? If you like the asymmetrical dial you will love this watch, for me it is incredible

The price range might be a bit much between the 2, don't you think?

Since the OP has a 5167 I think a 5164 is really too similar

Thank you. Now the 5711 is mine I don't know what made me even consider the 5296. It's not to say that the 5296 isn't a beautiful watch but it's sport watches that get more wrist time. I'm a casual dresser most of the time but the brilliance of the 5711 is it can be dressed Up or down.
