My Hand Grenade
One of my favorite pieces. It’s so casual and has such good presence on the wrist. I’ll be sad to see it go as I’m adding a 5270p with the green dial to the collection next year so probably don’t want/need two green watches. But Patek did it right with this piece. 42mm. Perfect weight and presence. I truly enjoy this piece. My only wish is that it was the chrono version but I got this before those were released.

From a hand grenade to a nuclear missile?
Stunning Aquanaut by the way! You never know, you might wish to hang on to it next year...?
Thank you kind sir.
Believe it or not this picture was out of the iPhone. I’ve been struggling with my iPhone pics cause they look too washed out and hazy. You have to post process them. Now I have a full blown studio with a light box as I’m a bit of an amateur photographer ...
The two watches could not be more different.
Is it possible for you to hang onto this one and still acquire the new piece?
It’s absolutely possible!
I just don’t know if I wanna do it. I’m really trying to simplify life. Having close to 1/2 million tied up in 2 watches while doable- do I really need to do it. Just as an FYI- I also have the 5968a. So I feel like I have my sport watch fetish taken care...
Very nice portrait of the 5168G, one of the best photos which showed the true colour of the khaki green dial.
This dial is totally different from the smoked gradient green dial of the new 5270P. Hence there’s no redundancy to keep both. Despite slightly large at 42mm, the 8.25mm height gives 5168G a very thin profile, which is rare and to me extremely desirable f...
Since you're asking for it
There you go: Also comes in red and orange Joke aside that is a great photo of a great watch, enjoy it without restaint (unlike the sauce)! ...
You guys are giving me a lot to think about
Maybe I keep the 5168 And instead sell some other pieces. Would be nice to have two aquanauts to perpetual calendar’s. Let’s see how things play out. Thank you all for your valuable feedback
Is this with z filter as it looks much greener than the khaki
I seen before? The new sunburst green on 5270P is superb and definately more striking than the olive green on 5711-014 and 5905a
