Aquanaut complication
Certainly I'd agree that Patek look to limit their complications to the noble materials but at the same time they have executed complications in steel cases such as the 5712 Nautilus beautifully, giving functionality whilst maintaining the look and slimline profile of the watch.
We definitely couldn't expect grand complications in these steel pieces but in addition to the Chrono thought I had, wouldn't a moonphase in the centre of the date subdial in a 5164 sized case look wonderful?

But I do not think Patek will choose that route. Steel will be always a rare material for Patek and I am amazed that there is a watch like 5960/1A. I think it offers really great value and removing the bracelet, I am sure it's possible to order a rubber s...

I share you opinion concerning this Dual Time complication. I made a nautilus 5990 post in which I talked about this feature: it is the same in the 5164 and the 5990 and it is a very clever one, easy and secure to use. Here: / The Aquanaut 5164 is a grea...
