Aquanaut 5168G

[Token74]

Was stumbling my way around Instagram this morning, having my daily look at watches to motivate me to do some work, and I happened upon a rather nice picture of the 5168G.

I’d previously discounted this watch as at 42,2mm it’s a little big for me, but the picture enticed me onto the Patek website.

I was slightly taken aback by the price, which at £30k felt like very good value. Having since given it some thought, it is actually about what I should have expected it to be, when comparing to the price of an all-gold 5711 for instance. But, I can’t help but compare to the Rolex 116519 LN which I have, and as much as I love the Daytona, the Aquanaut seems like a pretty good deal for a £7k premium.

I think it’s still a 5711 that I’m after, but an Aquanaut would add a nice balance to my collection. Given my OCD nature, to have two Pateks (5990’and 5168), two AP (15450 and Diver), and two Rolex (116600 and 116519) - one metal bracelet and one rubber bracelet each, would be pretty cool.

Anyway...not a particularly interesting post, sorry...but as ever, five minutes of surfing sends me off in a new direction! I’m now motivated to work hard today, but equally now very distracted!!
