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...
I can agree though that those that have been following the usual online rumors and were expecting a 5267 for men (e.g., a larger 5167!) will be pretty disappointed ;-)) The two new Men's offerings (even if they include no new reference) I'm sure will be a...
New Aquanaut and Nautilus references are all fine. But PP needs to be careful moving forward. Too many different colors (dials, straps) of the exact same references are starting to show up each year - or every 2 years. Either discontinue earlier variation...
I know it is a common feature for years and that was the reason why I never pulled the trigger for the Aquanaut and I do like the concept, with the rubber strap.
In my view, the white date window steps in nicely for the big white 3 numeral. In contrast, a color matched date would look like a black (or blue) hole in the dial, as if they forgot the big white 3 numeral there. Trying to hide the date window makes it s...
The 5267 is what the modern era Ladies (or even unisex?) Aquanaut should be. Great case size, diamonds, updated and more fitting strap and clasp. Quartz or mechanical. Perfection. Bravo for that.
Blue one, seen this morning in the Salon. Quite thick, heavy.. you need a real wrist for it... A priori the same as the steel one, but in gold with a specific dial. Price is 150% of the steel ... Good luck for those looking for it ... ...
I also prefer the 5968A version. These watches are meant to be worn sporty and having a G version doesn’t go with the everyday wear mantra. It will be a scratch magnet…
I would really enjoy wearing the green 5968g but madness in demand makes this a rather unlikely purchase unfortunately... for me that is... but if given the opportunity would be delighted to wear!
USD prices are as follows: Patek Philippe Ref. 5968G-001 - $69,194 Patek Philippe Ref. 5698G-010 - $69, 194 Patek Philippe Ref. 5267/200A- 001 - $20,108 Patek Philippe Ref. 5267/200A-010 - $20,108 Patek Philippe Ref. 5267/200A-011 - $20,108 Patek Philippe...
I can understand the point of view of those that say there is nothing new under the sun here. If you were only to look at this current release, I might agree. But look back to just a few months back where there has been release after release after release...
And we are not even done for this year! I agree that since you're already covered in terms of green Aquanauts (even before this color got "rediscovered" by everyone this year, hence double congrats! ;-)), a good choice for you next might be a blue sports ...
Go with a green dial; plonk existing calibers into a ready cases ; change a strap and there you go; Another Aquanaut set is born; and perhaps being positioned by Patek as a Nautilus alternative to some extent. Good marketing strategy from Patek to exploit...
After 11am, you should be able to view all the new models on Patek's official site, at: Patek Philippe Official Site | Luxury Watches for Men & Ladies Note that tomorrow is also the opening of the Rare Handcraft Exhibit at the Geneva Salon, running throug...
