1921 because,

It's unique and I have never liked 5617.


If the question was 5711-15202 or 1921, my answer would be different.

Vacheron Historique 1921. vs. Patek Aquanaut 5617/R

 
 By: John888 : May 29th, 2012-15:05
I am trying to decide between the Patek 5617/R (Chocolate brown Aquanaut with Tropical brown strap with rose gold case) vs. a Vacheron Constantin Historique America 1921. I do not plan on using the watch as a sports watch. I plan to use it as one of my ev... 

What a question!

When writing this, I have Aquanaut 5167/1A on my wrist. This a a fantastic every day watch. It's light, readable, slim, accurate and very low profile. And still of very high quality like all Pateks. Vacheron Constantin 1921 is a fantastic watch with a ver...

Good luck in making your decision. And towards that, do you care that one if manual winding and the other automatic? With date or without? Personally, I prefer silver dials to colored dials, which would tilt my decision to the 1921 (along with my general ... 

VC

5167 is a great sport watch, but I never understood the 5167r. The brown rubber strap and gold don't look patek at all. I would pick the VC because it is one of the most beautiful dress watches, but with my attire, that wouldn't be a daily. If you want a ... 

1921

no question in my mind. i might baulk if we were comparing a nautilus, but i find the vc in this case an obvious choice. beautiful, elegant, interesting, classic. love the dial. chris

I have a strong preference for the standard model over the boutique edition. Bill

1921 for sure

I have owned -- and sold -- an Aquanaut. For me it was neither fish nor fowl -- too delicate as a sport watch and too sporty as a dress watch. I do appreciate the RG variant, but for me the 1921 is a real object of desire and in another league as an everd...
