This is really bad form from Patek if the previously stated WR was not accurate. Yes practically speaking it makes little difference, but that’s not really the point and there’s an issue of trust here. Nautilus / Aquanaut models should have a high WR being the sport models, and besides it’s always nice to know it’s over engineered so less likely to fail.
Imagine telling a Speedmaster owner that his watch would explode on the moon. Makes no difference practically, but it defeats the premise of the watch.
