Dear Friends, here's the newest and pretty exciting 2021 Patek releases from the Aquanaut collection....7 new models, of which 5 for Ladies and 2 for Men, announced just a few seconds ago on the official site! Please see: Patek Philippe Official Site | Lu...

The 2021 Patek Aquanaut releases are now live!

Thanks Fab for the news !

Indeed, as expected a bit of green also for the 2021 Aquanaut models, both for Ladies and for Gentlemen! ;-) Cheers.

Thank you, Fab.👍😊

My pleasure my friend🙏🥂

Am I the only one being underwhelmed here?

I think we have a pretty large variety here -- seven models are really a lot, but certainly the focus has been more on the Ladies offerings this time (which I find pretty remarkable in breadth)...

All amazing watches .

Thanks, I would honestly expect a stiff competition for the two new 5968 models (despite the choice of precious metal), but they are certainly worth a try, especially since the 5968 is now in three declinations..;-)

Patek's official press release of the new models, including technical data:

I like the 5968G-001

Sincere good luck with that! It will be interesting to see what collectors prefer between the -001 (blue) and -010 (green), so this is one vote for the former...;-) Cheers.

logical move from PP ...

Not a new reference this time, but indeed, I also have no doubt both new iterations will typically be very successful ;-) Thanks for commenting, Captain.

Perfectly judged for the world we live in !

Both great in my view, indeed — fingers crossed!😉👍🥂

2021 Aquanaut & Nautilus

Thanks for commenting, not an issue for me within reasonable numbers (and provided that these iterations be in the regular collection rather than limited editions), but definitely a legitimate point of view👍Cheers.

Hi RGS

PM sent.

My money is safe

+1. Just sent my AD an email that I’m not interested.

But only for now Karl, more is coming this year...;-))

Love the 5968 Khaki....

Both ;-)

I hope so....it’s becoming just a regurgitation of color, metal and size

cool...I like the khaki - stunning !

Indeed lovely -- I think it's a perfect choice of color to offer this year! ;-) Cheers.

Imagine the 5968G-010 without that white date window.

Much prefer the white date window. Just a matter of preference, no right or wrong here.

+1👍

Not sure about the "at least" bit and honestly not for me (note that the white date is a common feature across all three iterations), but thanks for commenting Geo ;-)

There should always be room for improvement.

The point is that what you consider an improvement would make it look worse for others. No universal truth here.

The version 5065A-001, was just perfect, where the date window was hidden in the seconds rail.

about 5269, I dont know how to adjust the home time hand?

Correct, it's all done by using the crown👍 Please see:

thank you FabR every time !

Pleasure👍🥂

5267 white dial is fire, quartz or not

Released just in time for summer!😉🥂

Yes!

Likely very reaching but I wouldn’t mind this as a first Patek!

It certainly won't hurt contacting one of your local ADs (but given the interest these models are already receiving, the sooner the better! ;-) I wish you all the best in pursuing your first Patek! :-) Cheers.

green green again

Two out of seven here for a very green year, indeed! ;-)

here it is live

Great, thanks for sharing the first live shots of this beauty! Both new 5968G are certainly the "same" as the earlier steel iteration (save the metal and dial/strap). I like it even better than in the press pictures! ;-) Enjoy.

At almost 39mm, if there will be watches without stones in the future I can see many men going for the “ladies” watch.

That is a good point. I frankly find these specific five new models (526x) quite feminine, but more and more watches originally intended for one gender can easily be considered unisex because of taste and size reasons ;-) Cheers.

Ahem, ahem….

Size-wise all five 526x are totally perfect for both genders -- not for me but it definitely goes down to personal taste with such modern designs! ;-) Don't get distracted from the green 5711s though, because those are related to my dinner! ;-)))

Lol…sorry to say I think by now if I don’t get the call…it’s over.

There you go, for once that I could have eaten well in the US you let me down! ;-))

I feel bad my friend, so if you can help nudge the PP Gods in your connections and …

;-))

As for the men’s releases, the green & blue are appealing. But I think the steel version with orange accents is still more desirable.

Agreed

I prefer the 5968A version too

+1 on both statements in the title. At least from what I can see from initial reactions, both 5968G will be a big success, but the A (also because of price) *might* remain a favorite of the group. This will give hope to lots of collectors! ;-) Cheers.

Lovely

Thanks Keks, as I was saying earlier I would obviously expect lots of demand for these models, which is physiological with Patek, but they are definitely worth a try if interested (even more so given your successful record with Patek! ;-) Cheers.

Many thanks, Fabrizio.

Thanks for your input Volker, my pleasure👍🥂

A few images that I just received for the Ladies models, from the 'Rituals Of My Life' campaign:

wonderful !

👍👍🥂

Patek's official list prices (in USD, before local taxes) for the new Aquanaut models:

I'll make do

Plenty

Same here, a 5167 will *always* be a classic! ;-) Enjoy.

Very nice all over - the green dial chronograph is the winner in my book

Thanks for commenting! I will be interested to see which of the two 5968G will be the most sought after by collectors, if any...from what I've heard so far, the green might indeed have a slight edge ;-) Enjoy.

Thanks Fab… Nothing really new by the way…

My pleasure, It was a release mostly focused on the Ladies offering....for Men two excellent additions as well in my view, but obviously no new references ;-) Cheers.

Love the Blue white gold chronograph

Glad you enjoyed the releases, and thanks for your feedback. I think there's little doubt the combination of quality, breadth, and depth of Patek's offering is unique and unparalleled...just to mention one factor that make it the undisputed #1! ;-)

Very much on expected lines..
