I think it is just a typo
In the W&W2024 press release they commented on improved water resistance testing (and improved warranty and accuracy guarantee). I am guessing they did a batch edit of their website to reflect these updates and accidentally included models with >30m water resistance.
Patek website typos?
I am noticing a contradiction right in the description, so maybe it's just a typo! in the main body of aquanaut and nautilus it reads 120 m but in the Case description it reads 30 m. Here is a grab: As the reinterpretation of a design icon, the Ref. 5811/...

Perhaps not
I have learned from another of our WIS friends that this is apparently intentional.
Very odd
I can understand why they are changing how they communicate about water resistance given their updated guarantees, however I imagine there will be quite a bit of confusion in the process. That being said, I don't expect there will be any Aquanauts or Naut...
They’ve now made is consistent
This morning when I looked, unlike yesterday, the 120 m in the description now is gone and replaced. So there’s no inconsistency anymore. For 5168G description: Paying tribute to the 20th anniversary of the Aquanaut launched in 1997, the men’s model is no...
I saw that as well
It’s bizarre to be honest. Why change their sports watches to 30m? Now if I send an aquanaut for service that was 120m WR… do they just test it up to 30m now? Previously they’d test to 120 and if it failed at 60 they would make adjustments to seals or wha...
