What are you choosing? Aquanaut or Royal Oak?
 Would love some thoughts about these two watches. Both are basically the same price. 1. 5066a- 36mm aquanaut, tritium dial and hands (comes with bracelet too). 2. 4100BA Royal Oak. 36mm, yellow gold, great condition. Any thoughts of the group? Or owners of either watch?  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

RO of course. Aquanaut actually it was introduced by Patek for the new collector, a younger audience. If i remember correctly was priced at 16k so it was accessible money wise. RO in the other hand was the original genta, it’s in a class of their own .
It just that now everything has gotten out of proportion but if you know , you know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the design of the Aqua better and think it more versatile, but the RO seems like a good deal if same price. So depends on what else you have in your collection and when you intend to wear?
Btw respect you're taking boutique wrist shots while wearing a baby haha. Having 3 kids of my own all still under 6, I sympathize and can only wish you best of luck! |

Although having said above, I did stop wearing any yellow gold pieces when I was out and about with my family. Just something I felt self conscious about. I'm strictly a white gold/as guy most days. YMMV

It’s definitely the Aquanaut for me. I love the Aquanaut line and I don’t like APs.

I have the royal oak but not the aquanaut. But between the two, it’s a no brainer for me, the royal oak wins!!!
That royal oak bracelet is a killer, the dial, the bezel…… it’s all better on the royal oak
