I understand that some Patek Philippe models, such as the Nautilus and Aquanaut, are in high demand and that there is a supply-and-demand situation to consider. However, I'm not sure how much it would help the client who has lost trust in the brand. Altho

I think it makes sense. There’s a finite amount of pieces and do you allocate to someone who has purchases several watches or no watches. I don’t feel someone has a “right” to buy an aquanaut or nautilus or whatever — so long as there’s not some unlawful

Aquanaut :: Nautilus 30 m thoughts

Beautiful day with my companion.

Today I picked up my Aquanaut Blue for just walking in the sunshine. The sunburst dial really becomes vibrant and can enjoy the beauty of the nature and the watch. With warmest wishes
