I love them all so much. Gone are those days when the aquanaut was still obtainable to me, they used to be below the US$25k mark. Now they are unobtainiums.

Yep, my best advice is always not to buy above MSRP, but unfortunately all Aquanauts are hard to obtain without a solid buying history with a specific AD...

 
 By: FabR : August 10th, 2020-05:45
At the moment, for many people the only options with an AD are to wait (possibly a lot!), or more interestingly, to purchase a different, non-sports model...and Patek's offering is very broad and interesting in many areas (e.g., WTs, chronos, etc. ;-) Che... 

Yes Fab, great advice

I never thought I had friends who could do it for me, but I suddenly thought of a family member who bought more than a few grand complications from Patek, and maybe, when I’m ready, I will get the Aquanaut, or Golden Ellipse as mentioned before. It sudden... 

Sure, if someone is already an established customer and will introduce you to their AD, your odds are obviously higher to get an Aquanaut in a reasonable time (even with your name on the papers).

 
 By: FabR : August 10th, 2020-06:07
As for the Golden Ellipse (which is also a fantastic watch!), I think you can just walk into any AD on your own today...and chances are pretty good they'll have one available ;-)

He’s my father-in-law actually

 
 By: Cookies : August 10th, 2020-06:52
Nicest father-in-law. He treats me better than my own dad. He bought me a Daytona last month, but he is overseas and I have to go to a different country to visit him. I hope to return him the favour by being a good man. He is a philantropist who never shy... 

That is great to hear.

It is good that you have such a relationship with your father-in law (not the daytona part but the respect and admiration part). I get along very well with my wife’s family, it makes all the difference.

Yes Roger it really does

 
 By: Cookies : August 11th, 2020-10:11
In my first marriage, I could not get along with my father-in-law, because he was not genuine to me. He was a key reason why there was much discord. A good father-in-law is very important, and it feels warm when someone supports morally, and is a pillar o... 

Wow. You have a great collection of Aquanaut watches. 👍

thank you Henry

 
 By: anaroku : August 10th, 2020-07:29
to tell the truth, I can't believe it, but I was fortunate enough to buy 5167 at NY Tiffany salon. At first, I just thought that it would be more effective to go directly to the store and ask the person in charge than to make a reservation by email or pho... 

Dear Anaroku, thanks for sharing your incredible experience at NY Tiffany salon.

 
 By: joenghenry : August 10th, 2020-08:10
It is amazing you could get it as the first purchase, with all the worldwide hypes of Patek stainless steel sport watch. Probably it is destined for you. Enjoy your goodies in the best of health!. Cheers, Henry

Thanks for sharing your Aquanaut collection ! The “triplets” look great 👍!

 
 By: GLau : August 10th, 2020-21:38
Any plan to add another one ? If so, which reference ?

off course I am interested in any other aquanaut model

especially 5066・5165・5168(blue) but I also want another line because I am the slave of PP ( ;∀
