Narrative:

We were on the ruudy departure from teb off runway 24. As we leveled at 1;500 ft before wentz tower said we had navajo traffic (do not recall if he gave direction) and I thought tower said he has you in sight. When I looked the RA went off to 'climb' and I saw the navajo turn sharply right and dive to avoid us. Pilot flying had disconnected the autopilot and started to react to the RA and the navajo was behind us. I do not think the navajo saw us when he reported to teb tower he had us in sight. When he saw us his hard right turn and dive avoided what looked to me like a midair. I do not know if the pilot flying would have been able to avoid it even though he was reacting to the RA. Because the autopilot comes off we were about 10 degrees off course but not very far off course when we corrected our course. I do not even know if our off course would have been detected by radar. Departure did not say we were off course. I told departure about it; he sounded very surprised asked if we knew the area and asked if teb tower issued the traffic. I said yes and it was very close. I do not recall what he said or I said because I was busy making sure we made the next altitude. In this airspace see and avoid is very questionable. It seems like there should be more positive control. It is easy to think you have traffic in sight and you may be mistaken as there is so much traffic.
