Incoming Aquanaut!

After waiting several years I recently got the call from my amazing AD recently for one of my favourite Pateks, the 5968a Aquanaut.

Everything about this watch is unbelievable: the size and proportions, the finishing, the dial, the movement, the sportiness… not to mention orange is my favourite colour!

Absolutely delighted with it and is hands down my favourite watch in the collection now.

Massive congrats on the 5968A! After years of waiting, there’s nothing better than finally adding a true grail like the Aquanaut. The balance of sportiness and elegance is unmatched, and that pop of orange just takes it over the top, sounds like it was made for you! Enjoy every second with it on the wrist; it’s a true statement piece and one-of-a-kind in any collection.

Yeah congratulations: that one really is one of the nicest sports models in Patek's catalogue. The orange colours really pop and are playful, while the complication is presented in such a clear and uncomplicated way on the dial. And it fits your wrist well.

That is the Aquanaut to own, IMO. Well done.
