The sun came up, the watch is gorgeous in the sun, the dial just pops, very happy, I think this will be a keeper, makes a great trio IMO, with the 5712 and the AP ceramic diver, 3 different materials and looks, ok the Aqua is close to the Nautilus, but still different enough

Lapince the ladies of Odessa will be impressed I'm sure with the new one.

Even the older ladies at the 'health club' you mentioned

Yeah guys let's appreciate this one and not focus on the next ones, quite happy finally to have scratched the new watch itch, since the 5712 was just a return, really wanted a new one...

Those are AWESOME shots Lapince!

That RG is just stunning in the sun--WOW!

Don't you love that clasp? It's honestly the thing I liked about 5167 most.

KarlS · 2 October 2016, 11:49 PM

The clasp that they should use on the nautilus!

Arnaud here is a "unique piece" hunter that's popped up on Instagram. There is an article in the October Watchtime magazine

Thanks Paul. Oh yeah the clasp is awesome, a real stunner, but love the dial as well, it just really pops

Yep the Nautilus clasp does look crappy next to it, though I must say that if you encounter a professional thief, I think he'll take your Aqua off without you ever noticing, much harder with a Nautilus, but it is another level from the Nautilus

Wow you guys are maniacs, leave Natasha and Inna alone, they are nice girls

just kidding.
Yeah it's nice to have a PM Patek, this one seems perfect for me, I like it since the first time I saw it, my first visit to a Patek AD, I wasn't looking for this but they had it, found it lovely, always had more difficulty loving the steel version, it's nice but doesn't guve me the wow factor that this one does

Thanks Karl, will take a look, I get that maybe some won't like the style of mine with the caseback, but I really love this style, in any case for those who don't like they will have yours to admire, it will be a stunner too, and just a wild guess, but I think both will be very blue oriented, and both will be awesone in their own right, it's great you took PR, love PR watches, but my Vouti budget is already exploded, at one point you need to say stop, and the result for me will be awesome, can't wait to see your's, sure it will be amazing

I haven't decided on the PR yet nor final colours. Lots of time!

Marciano490 · 3 October 2016, 02:47 AM

What's that last breguet? Is it a prototype or do you know the model number?

PJ is probably right as always, know the price, 249k CHF, a beauty but unreadable without a loupe

Sure you have time, I would get the PR if I were you, it adds a nice touch to the dial.
He gave me the name of the engraver who will do my caseback, as I understand he did the previous ones for Kari, when you google his name you find some of his work, the guy is really good. Eddy Jaquet

Congrats Arnaud.

watchucallit · 3 October 2016, 09:15 AM

I think the PR is the most useful complication in a watch.. One thing you cannot get on your smart phone app

Right on the spot PJ, I checked, probably nicest one I ever saw from Breguet, too bad the tourbillon makes the price so high

GB-man · 3 October 2016, 02:35 PM

Arnaud, first, congratulations on the Patek. Lovely.

Regarding the Vouti, I am really happy that you're sticking with your desire to go with the officer's case back. I think it's such a cool feature, and so rarely seen. Were I ever in the position to commission a Voutilainen, I would definitely opt for the officer's case. Plain sapphire case backs are so common, and they do not afford the opportunity to have nude Viking warriors, or nuclear physicists, engraved on them.

Looking forward to the V!

Thanks man

Definitely going for the officer, love thebfeature, you have 2 interesting things to look at when you turn the watch over, no way I am changing that part, some won't like it, others will, but I will love it for sure, IMHO it's 40-50% of the watch's interest

Great pics in the sun there Arnaud. Congrats on that beauty. Had to dig to find your incoming. This Vouti thread is on a whole 'nother level of enabling. Oh and those 'friends' of yours aren't too shabby either

Vipes · 4 October 2016, 07:44 AM

Looks fantastic in the sun. Congrats on the 5167r. How does it wear compared to your 5712 (which is more comfortable?).

It wears great, as comfy as the 5712, no difference, just one is metal and the other rubber, so different feel but level of comfort about the same IMO, both are a true pleasure to wear

Thanks, the dial is amazing, maybe even more than the 5712 bLue, good sunburst dial, the Nautilus blue and Aquanaut brown make an awesome dial pair

Congratulations Arnaud.

I am pleased to see that everything worked out well in the end.

Look forward to seeing the final finish on your new Voutilainen when it arrives next year.

What an exciting time for you :)))
