I have been going back and forth quite a bit between the models below.

For around 20,000 my choices are (not in any order)
AP Royal Oak stainless
PP Aquanaut stainless
Rolex YG pre ceramic submariner
Rolex Day-date 36mm YG

Let me know what you think and why

Thanks in advance

Have you tried on a 5167 yet? I have a 5164a and have a very hard time not wearing it all the time. Slightly more heft than the 5167 but the Aqua is likely one of the most comfortable watches you will ever wear.

And I have a 15300 as well....

uniqueMR · 15 August 2018, 01:20 AM

Patek

CoveWatch · 15 August 2018, 03:20 AM

aqua or RO for me.. with a slight lean towards the RO

tyler1980 · 15 August 2018, 03:31 AM

aquanaut. Budget is right for a 67 but finding it at that price will be difficult. Id hold out for a 64 as i much prefer that one.

AK797 · 15 August 2018, 06:24 AM

I'd get a RO for that, for a bit more the 5164 for sure.

Sonzy · 15 August 2018, 07:30 AM

If you can manage with this amount to get the PP, then it’s the Aquanaut for me, then the AP RO, I’ll never think of the Rolex.

mps354 · 15 August 2018, 07:32 AM

id go aquanaut

Fat_ninja · 15 August 2018, 07:36 AM

If u can aqua

soundserious · 15 August 2018, 07:58 AM

Aqua, regardless of your current lineup.

RO all day - it would fit in your collection perfectly.

Flex368 · 15 August 2018, 04:46 PM

Aquanaut or YG DD.

Analysing You · 15 August 2018, 06:15 PM

Aquanaut all day everyday

KWSub · 15 August 2018, 09:29 PM

Definitely the Aquanaut, if you can source it. I love this timepiece. Incredibly versatile. And the most comfortable watch I’ve ever owned, or even worn for that matter.

If not, the AP RO as a second option.

Andad · 15 August 2018, 09:31 PM

YG Sub.

77T · 15 August 2018, 10:24 PM

Penn & Teller would call this a forced choice seeing that you chose the PP section.

Or did you post a similar question in the AP and Rolex sections for balance?

Well I do have to agree the 5167A is the choice. Good luck finding one under $25K unless you have a relative who owns a PP boutique.

Not a fan of Aquanaut, it's too feminine in my opinion, if Patek is a must then I rather go for Nautilus.

Out of the choices you listed I go with AP or Rolex.

avilhena · 16 August 2018, 12:24 AM

Ro

Interesting the 5711 was always the more feminine design compared to the aqua in my eyes. We all see things different

Yeah that’s true, which is good.

jon_jon · 16 August 2018, 02:44 AM

It depends what you are looking for. If you want to impress others, get the YG DD or Sub. If you want to go under the radar and not have anyone recognize you are wearing a decent watch, then the 5167 in rubber strap. To a lot of people, it makes no sense to pay $20k-$25k for a watch that gets no attention.

If you post this question in the Rolex section, most likely will get different answers.

I own 3 Aquanauts, so i am a bit biased though...

From your watch collection......

I would want to get the BEST, not 2nd best.....

Having said that, it got to be the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167......

I highly doubt that you would be able to get the 5167 today form the AD.....

Be prepare..... Buying it at the AD for a retail price & be on the waiting list for years to come, since AD not going to sell a sought after piece to the first time Patek Philippe customer.....

Another choice..... Depend on your lifestyle.....

If you like gold watch, go for the gold Sub (most of the time dress casual)

or Day-Date (most of the time dress semi to formal )

texasmade · 16 August 2018, 03:29 AM

I'd go with RO.

TeddyS · 16 August 2018, 06:16 PM

For me it would have to be either the PP or AP. I think my top choice would be the AP though.

I will go with the Aquanaut in bracelet.

RO will be nice .

If you want a 67 R (I love mine), call Moretti’s Jewelry( AD) in San Antonio Tx. They have both a 67r and a 64r in stock. Ask for Raul .
