For better or worse, the Aquanaut 5065 stands out with its ungainly grenade dial, and has a unique, uncool charm that the current model (5167) lacks.

In addition to 5065A, I recently acquired 5065J. The bracelet is comfortable to wear despite its strange appearance The one I bought was the 5065J with an additional J bracelet (sold separately at the time), but it looks the same as the original 5065/1J. ...

Thanks Wellingtonian, of course I also love the stylish 5167 (aside from the Nautilus). After all, I am a slave to Patek ☺

Love this design. I also own 5065 and have been thinking about getting 5066j. Never seen it in the flesh so I’m unsure about the size.

Hehehe, "uncool charm" -

Do the 5066 and 5065 have dials of the same size?

The diameter of 5060 and 5060 is smaller than 5065, but the lug width is the same as 5065, so the strap and bracelet can be shared.

I love these old ones.

I know you like neo-vintage Aquanauts. These are fascinating photos

Yes, they are full of charm and their smaller size is very much my taste.

The 5065 is my favourite Aquanaut

Charming original Aquanauts.

I think these look better than the Nautilus

Lovely duo ! You should be

Wonderful pictures, thank you. I respectfully have 2 questions: What is(are) the key factor(s) attracting you more to the Aquanaut than others? Could you confirm if the metal bracelet is straight (not tapered)? Yves:)

Hi Yeves007 I consider myself a "Patek slave," and apart from Aquanaut, I have several other favorite series that I'm immersed in as well. This bracelet is not tapered, so its width is flat from front to back. In the case of the 5167 bracelet, it looks

It cut off in the middle, so I'll continue writing. It (5167 bracelet) has a slightly bulky impression and there is some resistance, but with this 5065/5066 case, I don't feel that disadvantage.

I thank you for the explanation. Much appreciated :)

Great post! Thank you
