Incoming Patek :]]

Hiya this is my second Patek after the Calatrava: it's the 5065a Aquanaut. I must say I am quite happy with this purchase! The watch just exceeded my initial expectations: it is nice in a funky understated way, very light, waterproof, vintage-y and great size for my wrist. I think this watch just might be a keeper..

Oh and the lume is awesome ;]

Looks great. I'd love to see a shot with the Calatrava as well :-)

Nice watch!

Was the OEM rubber bracelet on the 5065 straight across the lugs? The 5167 the rubber bracelet is curved around the case, so just curious

Congratulations! The Aquanaut has and always will be a very understated watch.

The 5065A looks great on your wrist

Congrats on your Aquanaut. Looks great on your wrist.
These look like they may have the most lume on any watch in Patek history.

The current 5167 is similar, plus the numbers are lumed.

The 5164 is not as well lumed in my opinion, so I thought the same may be true about the 5167.

I like it but I do not understand the design solution for number 3/3 o clock.

It appears the date window is designed to mirror the 9 o'clock indices, similar to the pelagos eta or the new 5168g.
