Good idea!
But somehow I have lost the track and don't know much about the Patek water resistance issue anymore...
Apparently they all only have a (guaranteed, real!) 30m water resistance now. But what about my Aquanaut, for example, which I bought one and a half years ago and is 120m water resistant? Or WAS it and isn’t anymore? 🤔

I never understood the rationale behind the change in water resistance, even my 25 year old 5065 is waterproof up to 120 meters, It's called an AQUAnaut, for god's sake, why then only 30m WR ?
LOLLLLL
But here we are talking about the defense against incoming and not about outgoing fluids.
My humble opinion:
EVERY watch that meets a certain quality standard should have a water resistance of at least 10 ATM.
But there are enough watch fans who don't seem to care about that, saying: "I don't go swimming or diving anyway."
For me a solid case also means a generally better feeling when wearing it and, for example, good protection in tropical regions. What's the point of a World Timer if I can't take it everywhere without worrying?

I don’t think any Patek minute repeaters are water resistant
I wasn’t thinking about the recent water resistance changes, but Patek only rates its minute repeaters as being humidity and dust protected (not water-resistant). So having a Patek minute repeater rated for 30m would be pretty notable.
