Well, as far as I’m concerned this is a downgrade of all Nautilus and Aquanaut models.
I’ve checked the instruction booklet for my 5990 and it clearly states it is water resistant to 120m. In the instruction booklet online at Patek for the 5990 no mention of water resistance is now given. Now we can all guess that if nothing has changed (and who knows if that is actually true?), then the current model is also water resistant to 120m. I’d rather not guess and just go on the facts Patek has given us, which is the Nautilus / Aquanaut are now 30m water resistant, along with their other watches. Effectively a downgrade.
Has anyone seen anything official in writing from Patek, and not simply “my AD confirmed….” that the 30m water resistance is based on the crown unscrewed? Again, from the instructions online at Patek, it is clearly stated that the water resistance of the watch is only assured when the crown is screwed in.
