Ordered mine yesterday

The boutique called me to come and pick up my Jumbo Aquanaut ( I waited 10 months for mine) and while I was there I was introduced to some of the new models coming in from Patek.

I also recieved a very nice New Models launched for 2005 Catalogue Chest which opens up to include seperate brochures on each of the new models launched. Never seen anything like it from the other manufacturers and just goes to see why Patek is Patek.

The 5296 is easily one of my favorite Pateks of all time and one of the most beautiful pieces to be launched at the Basel Show (besides the 5250 and the 6000)

I think they did a wonderful job of increasing the case size from their usual 37mm to 38mm for this model, and I love the blued hands on the dial.

I really can't wait to get mine and start enjoying it.

Cheers from Dusty Q8,
