50th aniversary of Royal Oak was disapointing to say the less.
The already release a lot of new configurations every year.

Maybe a couple of nice code with new complications ?

No idea about specific references.

A number of limited releases, maybe a new line!?!? Patek has the Aquanaut to the Nautilius - where the Aquanaut had felt like the little more nimble and sporty brother to the Nautilius. Now the Cubitius - can’t put my finger on what that is compared to the Nautilius yet.

The RO has the ROO, where the ROO seems like the beast big brother to the RO. Maybe the RO needs an “Aquanaut” line as well.

I don't know any rumors, but my guesses (some more obvious then others):

More sand gold
Dual time CODE
New crown controlled QP movement

But all I really want is a reboot of the ghost in 43, or a Ti 43 with salmon dial. Otherwise, just hoping I get an allocation of some already produced models.

I am expecting watches which will be produced only during 2025 and others which will remain in the catalog after that.
New QP has already been discussed.
I am expecting ceramic Jumbo.

Don’t agree about 2022 but each to their own.

I also fully expect a new Ceramic non chronograph RO.

I do love the idea of a ceramic 41mm time only.

You will get a Dual Time CODE and you will like it!

Sand gold jumbo or QP

The reason I would love to see a dual time code is that it means they made a new dual time movement that they can finally put back into the RO case, make it 39 mm and it will have a very core following in my opinion, but doubt it will happen anytime soon.

Ditto on the dual time. Aside from the chronograph, AP could use more offerings between time/date only watches and QPs/minute repeaters.

Dual time, annual calendar, retrograde date would top my list. Weekly calendar and travel time are options as well, though I personally don’t like or use those complications.

Hope the layout and writing will be more in line with the current QP and not the ultrathin QP... and hope at 39mm it will not have a wrong 52 week indicator...

Cant share details but one thing is for sure: it will blow your mind.

Edit: it’s the kind of QP that will make Patek rethink its QPs. Just like the Dato made Patek rethink its chronos in the 90s. Except this time, i dont think Patek can catch up. Because they dont have a Renaud&Papi.

Rather proud of myself for recognizing just how good this one is when it was first released!
