New Aquanaut ref 5168G blue dial

Finally rumours are true. A new Aquanaut in white gold in blue dial. Blue is darker than I expected. I liked it.

This press picture is not doing anything for me! I assume it is just the image and will withhold from further possible negative comment till I see live pics of the watch.

£28,000 for this one. I'm guessing the 42mm is to celebrate the anniversary but I can't understand this big watch especially from Patek.

42800 gbp is hard to believe. That's a hair more than the 5711R no?

Arjan posted the pricing : 34000 CHF much more palatable.

It's true though. Patek is too cheap to make movements to fit their watches even though they have more cash than most. ALS doesn't play that

Woops so that's the advanced research price? I think that's a better deal than the 5168 maybe

So 5168G is not an LE it seems (read press release, but I may have missed it).

The 5650 IS limited to 500 pieces.

Correct?
