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

asks if prefer Rolex or Patek on Rolexforum. Not skewed results at all

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.

Auerr · 2 March 2016, 06:53 PM

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.

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 agree totally. And I love Patek.

ajas · 2 March 2016, 11:31 PM

I love this Patek but Platonaa!

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.

I'll go with the minority so Patek !

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.

ltmgeller · 3 March 2016, 12:55 AM

Rolex

Manofsteelpt · 3 March 2016, 12:59 AM

Is it MY money, or is someone giving me one of the 2 for free? If MY $, the PP. If someone's giving it to me, I'll take the Pt Day and sell it to get something I like.

Same here.

Hpozzuoli · 3 March 2016, 01:06 AM

I only purchase and wear Rolex. Just a preference and no scientific reason. I do love some of the Patek designs. Some of the bulkier square ones I don't care for, but the round 5140 style are beautiful.

kilyung · 3 March 2016, 01:09 AM

The correct answer is "both". I wanted the 5164 first and got it. Working my way through a number of other wish-list watches before getting the 116506. If I could only have one, then it'd be the 5164 just because the GMT function is more useful to me than chronographs.

Le Chef · 3 March 2016, 01:46 AM

Useful complication. Fabulous movement that you can see. Stainless Steel so durable and rubber strap is practical.

Don't see the point of the Daytona in pt. The movement is exactly the same as the ss version, so all you're getting is a lump of pt, nothing more. If you're really into mechanical watches, rather than just watches, that doesn't make sense.
