In the same way that Rolex fans tend to accumulate multiple watches in the Rolex catalogue, Patek Philippe fans do the same albeit with a significant increase in financial outlay. The fact that someone buys an Aquanaut doesn’t mean they either couldn’t afford or couldn’t get a Nautilus.
With regards to their popularity, the Aquanaut has always been admired in my books. It was always going to be deemed the little brother to the Nautilus but if you own both, you’ll know how very different the watches are despite the similar shaped bezel.
Paul McCartney has been wearing his 5165A for many, many years. I’m sure he can afford any Nautilus he wants.
