After selling most of my collection a few years ago I picked this one up today. It is a gorgeous watch! The dial is amazing, the size is adequate (between a 36 datejust and a 40 sub) and the bracelet is extremely comfortable.
I used to collect Panerais, had several Nautilus and 1 Aquanaut and don't find this one feminine at all, on the contrary. I think people that feel so are somewhat biased because of the reference number. It is currently the favourite of my small collection (mostly Rolexes).
Sizing the bracelet is quite difficult (much harder than an Aquanaut or a Nautilus) so since it doesn't have a quick adjustment system this might be an issue in the summer. I'll certainly need to go at least twice a year to my AD to adjust it.
On a side note, my AD told me they can't keep a single Patek in stock (except for a couple of ladies quartz references) as they are all pre-sold before the next shipment arrives. Apparently the issue is not on the supply side, as it is similar (or even slightly better) to what it as always been. The problem is that demand is through the roof and increasing by the day as the number of people that are becoming interested in watches worldwide is substantially increasing and creating a spillover effect to more brands.

I love the weaving pattern ! Think it is called “shantung”. The blue dial is great and this is a very functional watch. Enjoy it often ! p.s. not feminine at all to me
Splendid acquisition!
