NWA: Aquanaut Chronograph 5968A-001

Well so this one was unexpected. After 4 and half years, the watch that I originally asked for at my Patek AD has actually turned up! Honestly I never thought Ill see it as the rep telling you its gonna take 5+ years just sounded like a way to fob me off but no, they kept their word. This is the way to treat your clients. The watch is even better than I imagined and the orange just pops! Just gonna post my watch here as Im too excited to write anymore lol



PS: and NO, coz i know someones gonna ask this question, its not my first Patek.

One of my favorite Aquanaut (with the 5650), if one has the wrist for it. Congratulations, that's a great catch!

Congrats! That watch does look way better with the orange strap. 4 1/2 years is insane though.

Huge congrats to you both. I got mine about 10 months ago and it is, to me, the most beautiful (sports) watch out there.

Wonderful! I was also fortunate to purchase this past March. I just bought the other strap colors (brown, blue, khaki green)... Excited to try all the other colors. Again, congratulations!

That’s awesome! I was also curious to try the khaki colour strap on it also so would appreciate it if you could post photos when you have a chance!
