Aquanaut Grenade in the wild?

I was told by my AD that the Grenade has not shipped yet. The first shipment goes out around July-August.

I have also heard conflicting reports that people have gotten their hands on the Grenade already.

Has anyone or know anyone that received their Aquanaut Grenades?

I don't think Patek will ever ship an Aquanaut grenade unless they get into the weapons manufacturing business

The RamboNaut or Aquanaut grenade has shipped out. Mark Wahlberg was spotted with it on not long ago. It's starting to hit. Likewise with the 5726. It just depends what region of the world you're in and how good your relationship with your AD is.

PS. Rogdogg's answer

Mark Wahlberg may have been wearing the rare green 5167 instead of the new 5168. I was wondering how in the world people concluded it must have been the new green 5168 as the pic didn't show Wahlberg's watch in any detail.

Yes I know the middle eastern version has been out, but the guy was pictured coming out of an AD with the leather Patek travelcase

Its 100% began shipping, my AD sent me a picture of it double sealed in the store just to tease me. Went to a long standing client that puts my 3 years of business to shame.

I hope to see one in the next 2 years lol

This reference nickname and 42mm case are two good reasons not to buy it.

I'm not a fan. I like the green strap, not the dial.

Words of advice don't ask the sale representative or mention "Aquanaut Grenade" he/she will panic and push the red button under the desk.....

Next thing you know the security and the police will come.....

They will draw the guns on you and you be going to jail.. With no Aquanaut...

It shipped months ago, I had one in my hand at the beginning of May - didn’t appeal unfortunately/fortunately.

We need a better name for this watch. Grenade sounds too...uncivilized.

I believe most of the shipments for the 5168G Khaki have been in Europe or the Middle East. Those markets get the first releases, then the rest of the world will receive allocation in subsequent months. I imagine someone will post pictures of it in the wild from the US market as early as end of July/or August.

Saw at a grey dealer as well as blue 5726 around May / June time.
Not a fan of the camo green dial but sure plenty people will be.

No. Not quite, was at the AD talking to owner and coincidentally talked about 5168. Then literally a minute later the guy he sold their first 5168 to walks through the door wearing it and got to look at.
