It is a game-changer for Patek
It’s one that will looked back on. One that altered the path.
But you are right, it is just incredible to wear. I was on a long walk today. I was thinking about a recent question on this forum. “If you had just one watch?” I answered my favourite Watch as the 3448 perpetual calendar. But if I could only have one, the 3448 would be a problem in the pool. Casually. Etc. The 5370p would be too, notwithstanding it’s Darth Vader appeal.
5650g would be my one.
Nothing beats...
...the feeling, color, or style of a Terminating Aquanaut. The love affair intensifies 😉 ...
Thank you. I've not historically been an Aquanaut believer, but this piece has utterly won me over. Based on other Purists photos I suspect my reaction would be the same to the other new Aquanaut references.
The Aquanaut's ease of use, multi-purpose nature, comfort on the wrist, and discreet nature really appeal to me. Thanks for commenting
You just reminded me to go get a Powerball ticket
that's the only way I can afford such a beauty
Good question Seconds.
I too was first concerned about this potential issue, but in practice I've found no - zero - difficulty, even under a quick glance scenario. I believe context plays a part of course - we have a vague sense of real time, with a few exceptions - but equally...
Congratulations on this again...
Challenge for you...(swear to xxx) but would you say the same if this model is sitting in the ADs window like the 5960/1A and available for a discount anytime? Now that it triples, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder 😜 I’m always been a modern collect...
Yes, a fair thought Raymond, no doubt
Of course with perfect rear-view vision this is an easier piece to love, but in all honesty my interest in the 5650 was never financially motivated. I was attracted to the watch and it's horological refinements (as I saw and understood them) and, beyond t...
Hey Raymond.....
.....yours is a very interesting question. For one, I had never looked at a potential watch purchase as you suggest...so interesting to contemplate. I also think it is interesting as I suspect it really applies to collectors who only collect modern watche...
I understand and I’m also in the same camp...
I buy what I like but I’m learning to be very selective since I have limited funds for this hobby. We kind of know, here from the vast knowledge and from historical facts, that Patek Philippe’s special watches are very desirable and will hold or appreciat...
Hi Raymond, an excellent question ! IMO, in addition to movement, complications, dial design and finishing...
rarity is also a consideration. Pricing aside, 5he production run of 300 is naturally an attraction vs a regular production piece that sits in the counter of an AD. Cheers, Gordon
Congratulations , this is a very technically superior watch. With a very cool design.
At first i kinda thought it was huge but i realized it was just right. Consider me a convert that this is a good watch. Worthy to be a Patek. Cheers. Geross.
Aquanaut blue
Looks great! If only was smaller would be on my wrist. Unfortunately my wrist is 16.5 cm and when I tried it was absolutely too big. Enjoy it ... is stunning!
someone told me....
.....that it was quite possible that this new movement might be in a new Nautilus next year.....
I had yesterday a dinner with a Pated watchmaker
who explained 5650 to a collector who did not really understand the watch. Hearing the watchmakers explanation using words like "revolutionary", etc., I only regret that I did not try to get two. Seriously, I wore the watch last night on the dinner when o...

I have a bit similar thoughts.
The whole AR project is incredible. Think about 5170. Then add there all the parts of 5450, 5550 and 5650 improving the accuracy, reducing the need of servicing and lubrication and turning the watch basically antimagnetic. Then use the travel time mechani...
Same here....
5650 could be the one... just fits the bill and the complication is genuinely the most useful one i can think of on a wristwatch.
Any excellent piece ! The blue dial looks great !
This terminator is the grail in terms of accuracy. Cheers, Gordon
