im with you on that. I love my 64 and i like the chrono too, just not as much. I just dont know if both can co exist in the same collection since my 5164 isnt going anywhere.

I also think Aquanaut Chrono will be popular. I spoke to one of the AD's I deal with and I was told quite a lot of people had expressed their interest in 5740G and 5968A with more people interested in the 5740G

i believe it. No way im in the market for a 5740 but i doubt i could get it anyway if i tried. I could get a 5968, so that makes sense to me.

I remember saying when I bought my 5164 that I bet a chrono comes out now, as Basel seems to wait for me. Happened with DD40 and D500 after I just bought a DD2 and RG Daytona. Thought the Hulk discoing was more likely so at least only 1 of 2.

$43K is okay. My issue is with its size. It will be the biggest Aquanaut at 42.2mm, that's as big as the AP Diver...

no way it wears that big. The 5168 wears small and the 5164 with the added thickness doesnt wear big either. Its nearly 41mm.

I always thought that if Patek made an aquanaut chrono it would be the star of the lineup but now I'm starting to think the 5164a is my favorite aquanaut

Orange like that just reminds me of Hermes honestly, as did most of the people I was chatting with, difference of opinion I guess ha.

It seems those complaining about the price of the 5968A don't realize this is Patek's least expensive chrono watch, with the 28-520C movement.
The discontinued 5980/1A was $51K and the recently discontinued (and not too popular) 5960/1A was also $51K USD. The chrono/travel time 5990/1A is $53K. Considering the fact that the 5164A was released at $36K USD in 2011 (although subsequently price dropped to $34K in 2015), the 5968A pricing at $43K seems reasonable. |

Personally, the travel time is the better complication imo

Once again I feel the 5968 is being introduced at a very reasonable price point, being the least expensive Patek chrono produced within the past 10+ years. Perhaps it will be even less expensive if a non-UK/EU client purchases one in the UK/EU and receive a VAT refund, lowering the price to under $40K USD equivalent |

For the price of the Aquanaut Chrono I’d rather buy a 5711/12 on the grey market

Just thought Patek would be more conservative, at least at first. Think blue and a blue strap would also have been awesome. http://www.watchprosite.com/patek-ph...94316.9641116/ |

Thanks Neil! As an aside — I completely agree — I wondered the same thing when I saw it integrated into this Patek — I absolutely fell in love with it — but did thing for a quick minute that orange was an interesting choice for them. I loved my orange PO!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Im really curious to see what the new blue 5711 dial has on secondary pricing. Off topic, but im genuinely curious what the premium will be since its new and more rare.

I would have preferred white, but if going for a colour on a black dial I think orange works pretty well, and has a nice contrast. I bet irl it looks amazing.
