The military Patek, 5168G-010

Got my only green dial Patek…… Certainly not 5711 green, but the more accessible olive green aquanaut! The green colour dial and strap remind me of another former hobby - Leica olive green camera. 42.2mm size / 8.25mm thick proportion wears thin on wrist,...

Huge congrats Henry, these gorgeous pieces are reserved for the top collectors -- you've seized a real beauty and a champion of versatility! ;-) Enjoy thoroughly.

I will join the ranks tout de suite ;-)

Thank you, Poy. It must be a luxury troop then ;-)

Congratulations Jeong. Charming Aquanaut watch for sure. 🥂🍾👏👍😊

Thank you, Geross, Aquanaut does have its charm, just like yours. Enjoy!

congrats!

Thank you. It doesn't cost that much....... just a tiny fraction of 5711 green.

Big congrats 🍾 Henry !

Thank you, Gordon, My wife is the one who turns green....... as she keeps saying the combination of white metal and green dial suits her very much. Fortunately the 42.2mm size is too big for her wrist ;-)

Congratulations 👏

Thank you, Fram. It is indeed nice surprise of 2022.

Best Aquanaut variant IMHO.

Thank you, fmc. When my AD told me a 5168G is available, I indeed hope it's the green dial. Though the blue gradient dial is also very attractive, olive green has a special meaning to a Leica fans like me.

Thank you, Prof. I'm far from top collector, but I am indeed a loyal client of my AD for more than 10 years. Appreciate my AD for allocating this beauty to me, with the ever increasing difficult in getting these sought after references nowadays.

Congratulations, Henry! It’s a very versatile watch that I am sure you will

Thank you, Tchela. It is indeed a reference suitable for most occasions!

This is a really cool watch! Great pickup!

Thank you, w220. A nice surprise indeed.

Bravo. Enjoy.

Thank you, Nico. I guess you must like this military theme watch, especially the lume shot :-)

Many congratulations!!!

Thank you, KC.

Fascinating indeed!

Comparing it to your green Montblanc 13.21

Thank you, Penfriend. Second your view that the MB 1858 Chrono green limited edition is superior to 5168G in terms of dial colour rendition and the complexity of caliber. Actually few calibers can rival the Minerva MB13.21.
