The last year or so we have seen dramatic increases in the prices of most Patek Philippe sports models. These models mostly include the Nautilus and also the Aquanaut. Let's start by looking at the prices of the Aquanaut 5167 that now are above the mid $30k range. This is a watch that used to be $18k in the preowned market. For me the fact that these watches are going for so much is a bit difficult to process considering that it is an entry level Patek sports model. When these current prices reflect on the 5164 Travel Time, you are pretty much paying an extra $20k for these buttons on the side of the case and a dual time zone feature. Is it really worth it? Although it may seem like a large increase, for me it just makes the watch so much more interesting and valuable. Another good point is that since they are selling with ease, than the answer is yes.
The over all look of this watch changes from it's little brother counterpart. This model has a much more complicated looking dial with a second timezone hand that is skeletonize and circle date register at the 6 o'clock position. The side of the case has two buttons that are to actuate the second timezone and give the watch a bit more of case size, .8mm to be exact. Like most Aquanauts it comes with a rubber strap that has a flawless fit and what maybe the best looking clasp in the watch game. The Patek Philippe 5164 for me is a winner. I would go ahead and say that I really do not enjoy to much the Patek Philippe 5167 that much anymore because I find it to be a bit slim and entry level. This statement is not to be taken in a way that would otherwise still not agree that all Patek Aquanaut are great watches!
