Love the Blue white gold chronograph

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. All different model and styles. From perpetual calendars and million dollar plus minute repeater to calatravas to now the aquanauts. I like the path of Patek.
Having said that and being a current owner of a 5968 and the green white gold 5168, I had wanted to add the blue aquanaut to round out the trio. To me the new blue chrono is stunning. I’ve always liked the 5168 over it’s non chrono cousin cause it just makes the dial look more complete.
My 5270 is coming anyway now and had I not committed my funds to to that watch, I would add the blue chrono in a heartbeat. Infact this will likely be the next watch I add - maybe next year.
I though the April releases were a bit lackluster but this set of releases is a home run. Love all the aquanauts.
