Patek Aquanaut

I always was attracted to the simplicity and stealth aspect of the Aquanaut, is there any chances one can be bought at retail form an authorized dealer?

Of course you can. I'm rooting for you! Bring some lube and protection along as well just as a precaution <3

If you own a few other pateks from your AD, then yes with a decent wait.

I think it’s very easy to buy it from your AD. It was for me and my buying experience was 10/10 would highly recommend.

Hope is not a strategy. It'll take some planning with your AD since you wish to acquire it that way.

I like the Aquanaut for the same reasons too.

So far only have a Calatrava but it is also simple and straightforward.

Can't hurt to ask. These are sold at retail all the time by ADs.

They have multiple requests for the same watch everyday.
Ask yourself if there's something that would make you stand out from the others :
  • Your purchase history (assume some others have spent 6 figures)
  • How "famous" you are

Of course you can get it from an AD, that's how I got mine. You won't get it as a first watch walking random person, but these watches have to go through retail channels first.
