I go wind surfing with my Aquanaut. Sometimes I am exceeding 25 mph and will go in the water at high speed. While the depths are shallow, the force hitting the water is high and the extra WR rating is critical.

Patek with their new 30m WR is basically saying “we dramatically lowered the rating so we don’t have to repair your watch under warranty.”

Guaranteed you’re going to see a lot of posts on here in the coming years about guys having denial of warranty service/repair by Patek because of this.

It is a joke.
