I would think not, but I have been wrong before. I never thought Rolex would do a ceramic SS Daytona and was wrong about that.

Depends on the feedback they get from the anniversary model. Rolex went from 36mm on the daydate to 41 and now downsized to 40mm.

I really hope they don't as the current lineup is GORGEOUS!!

That is true.

You never know with these watch companies.

I understand they are gearing up a few special releases for the 2017 show in NYC, maybe just 1 offs.

No idea what they will reveal but should be interesting.

I'm pretty sure we're gonna see an upsized Nautilus in steel next year or in 2018. Also, a blue dial steel 5990 could be inbound to shut the 40th Anniversary whiners up (whiners include me too BTW)

Now THAT would be great and I agree a good possibility.

Blue dial 5990 would be perfect

I wouldn't say no to a (matte) ceramic bezel as long as it is done in a classy way. Of course not at 55mm and not with shiny stones :)

Example of a Genta design properly spiced up with a non-steel bezel:



I know, it's tantalum, but the same look & feel can be done by using matte ceramic bezel too. Omega, Rolex and many other companies already proved that it's quite easy to produce matte bezels in various colours. I'm sure if Patek wanted to, they could find a shade and design that could improve the design of the Nautilus (or Aquanaut) without throwing it overboard.
