5066 vs.5165 size

Mar 28, 2008,15:00 PM
 

I've been looking at the 5065, 5066 and the 5165 and am trying to decide between them but I am confused by the size measurements.  Since you own both the 5066 and the 5165 perhaps youi can shed some light on this issue.  I haven't been able to see two at the same time.

the patek information says the case diameters are as follows:

5066    36,2 x 34 mm

5065    39,3 x 37 mm

5165    38 mm (10-4 o'clock)

the diagram for the 5165 on the patek website shows the 38 mm running horizontally across the watch on the same latitude as the stem, which to confuse things further does not appear to be necessarily the same as the distance from 10-4 o'clock

As best I can tell the 34 mm measurement on the 5066 is more or less the measurement corresponding to the 38 mm on the 5165, suggesting that the overall difference is 4mm, not 2mm.  Are you able to confirm this?  Do you happen to know what the 36,2 measures?  .  A picture of both on your wrist next to each other and the circumfrence of your wrist would really be appreciated.  Thanks for your help

I'm a female with a keen interest in watches, mens watches for the most part. I have several Rolex, a 40MM PAM, JLC Master Ultra Thin and PP 5127R. I am considering a Nautilus 5800/1A or Aquanaut not sure 5065A, 5066A, 5165 or 5167, I'm not quite sure yet... 

Amusingly...

Hiya watchlady, and good to see you here if you're the one and the same from the 'other' forum!! A quick answer to your questions about the Aquanaut 50xx vx 51xx... The cases are now 38mm and 40mm. Previously there were 3 sizes, and now only 2. The dials ...
