I was really happy to purchase the 5065 just before its price soared (in 2021). However, the one in your photo, with its indexes that have become more attractive with age, is even more attractive.
Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5065 A.
Cool looking, this " early " Aquanaut, with its patina. I have always been more fan of the Aquanaut than the Nautilus... Best, Nicolas ...
Very nice β like you I have always been more drawn to the Aquanautβ¦
But, I have to admit this 35 mm Nautilus was a bit charming on my wrist! ...
Beautiful piece with the aged yellow indexes ππ»
And I normally find the angles of the bracelet a bit weird, but it looks really nice in this picture. The 5065A is getting more and more popular here... don't wait too long mate π
Don't remind that to me...
I just acquired my 5065A a few months ago, and current price hurts π
Actually, as a comparison, I paid 8K years ago for my first 5167A... better not to think about it...
Me too...if i knew the price will go nuts like now, i would have bought it, 10 to 15 years ago.
The price now is just...crazy. i could afford it by selling almost all my collection. But I would feel irresponsible to do that...the fund could be used for better education of my daughters, for nice holiday with family, or even nice jewelry for my wife. ...
Hi Nicolas, the links in this bracelet is lovely ! What features
from Aquanaut do you prefer over Nautilus (irrespective of the extra hype from N) ?
The deeper Hand Grenade dial Aqua, wife had one like that when they were $12k U.S. to match my then $17k 5167.
Cute lil thing on strap for the wife, she liked it back in the day. Times change, she's now loving her Rolex Celebration 36mm.
Just picked up mine on Thursday and cannot take it off my wrist since...
.....have 4 different straps on the way.....should be fun. ...
