Key Points from the Discussion
- A Patek Philippe Aquanaut ref. 5167/1A was once readily available at Authorized Dealers, allowing for flexibility in strap choices, even if it meant a slight mismatch between the watch and its papers.
- The Patek Philippe Aquanaut ref. 5164, a travel time complication, is considered a significant upgrade from the 5167/1A by some collectors, though the desire for both references often remains.
- The thread features diverse wristwear beyond Patek Philippe, including an Andersen Geneva, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, and a Rolex Submariner on a cordovan strap, highlighting the varied tastes within the community.
- The 'green rage' in watch collecting, referring to the popularity of green dials, is acknowledged, with some collectors stating their preference for other colors.
- Customizing a watch with a new strap, such as an olive brown strap on a Patek Philippe, is a popular way for collectors to personalize their timepieces.
