Please dont pay $50k for 5167a
You will be very disappointed
(Its a solid watch, but its a time only watch with average finishing on rubber strap)

You’re welcome

Amazed yet not surprised at this result.

More people would choose a very basic watch in steel and rubber over a classic elegant watch in precious metal with a fantastic complication.

5146 if you hold it is truly beautiful.

The Aquanaut was initially an entree level watch for millennials. Steel case on rubber strap. The 5146 Annual Cal was the entrance to complications. Definitely Patek DNA but people went sport watch crazy.
