In a candid post, quattro69 shares his initial impressions after trying on a new Patek Philippe release, offering a refreshing perspective that prioritizes personal connection over hype. His experience highlights the subjective nature of luxury watch appreciation, prompting a community discussion on design evolution and the enduring appeal of established icons like the Nautilus and Aquanaut.

By sheer luck my friend showed me these so I was lucky to try them on. It was β€œok”, but for me it didn’t carry the Nautilus or Aquanaut magic. Call me old school, but subjectively it’s going to take a whole. My grails remain unchanged.



Watch by Patek Philippe, nautilus, aquanaut

If those points are worth the difference in price, is another story.

For me it's simply too big and still remains a square Nautilus. Photos by lolago

To each his own. I cannot wait to see them in the metal to find out more.

even though the green Nautilus was a big hit, and special piece. I do understand the general reaction to the derivative design, but the green dial is otherwise a nice choice for initial release IMHO.

What a wealth of brilliant past designs to draw upon... this with a matching bracelet... and possibly no 'day' just date... with modern updates... yum
