Well...
.....no hesitation from me in calling the Aquanaut an un-Patek watch. No shame either! LoL. Having said that, I also think the Nautilus is also not especially Patek-like. You raise a really interesting question actually....as when one thinks of Patek, it is certainly true that a certain style of watch comes to mind. When I look at my other watches from Patek, I also see something unusual...namely that none of them are typical Pateks. Take the 5070P......there is much love on this forum for this watch. Indeed, I get enormous pleasure from mine. Yet, it would also need to be classified as quite un-Patek.
Case size is very large for a Patek. Movement by Lemania.....not especially Patek-y. Then look at the size of the movement relative to size of case. Patek have needed to work a great deal to compensate for the size difference ... no doubt it makes the watch very quirky. To my mind, the 5070P is also quite un-Patek. What it does tell me is that I like watch because of what it is rather than for any other motivation....and for me that is the key issue.
So much time for the 5167
More often than not, the 5167 ends up on my wrist. It is a long way from being a complicated Patek. It is a long way from being an elegant Patek. In fact, for so many of the reasons that Patek has distinguished itself, this watch stands out as being very ...
Great watch! Love it!
I wonder how it would look like in an all black version... Probably not great. Perhaps less elegant, but even more cool is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver watch. That's a fun watch!
5165 a smaller version of the 5167.
Isn't the 5165 that was discontinued a few years ago just a smaller version of the 5167? I agree that the Aquanaut is one of the most versatile watches in the PP collection, moreso than the Nautilus. It doesn't scream "Look at all the complications on thi...
Great summer watch
I appreciate your saying it is very un-Patek of a watch. I think many Patek fans hesitate to say that (feels derogatory to call someone else's Patek very un-Patek) and the owners of this piece rarely admit that and try to explain things like "but it has t...

Maybe
Maybe the 5167 is so un-Patek that it is so Patek. I wear mine with a suit. Especially during the summer. Most of the time I happen to be the only person who knows what's under my shirtsleeve or suit jacket. So nobody can call me out on my supposed fashio...

To late! Now we want to see pictures about you being such a bad boy :-) Cheers, Oliver
5167 and suit?
No faux pas there. But was it suit and brown brogues? Uhm, I'n old school British - that combo frightens me! LoL Best, Joe
Booo
Ha. Yes. It was a khaki linen suit. So a pair of brown Church's was ok. I know brown is for the country. I'm old school too. I see men wearing brown shoes with navy suits all the time and I think it looks ok. However I just can't get myself to do it. I ca...
Cool shots, Joe, especially the first one.
I was interested to read what you wrote about the nautilus. I never considered it as a sports Watch, nor its AP cousin, by the way. Try to do some sports with it, I think that the Service Dept will be happy to receive your Watch AND your money. ;) Best, N...
How would this look....
on a larger wrist. Thinking that the 40m would appear smaller.
