My vision if I were to redesign it...

...

What you guys think.......??

Aquanaut No-date..^^^... Clean dial with the full arabic numerals....

Aquanaut Date..^^^... Full arabic numerals with the date...

Aquanaut Travel Time Extra-Thin....^^^.... Keeping the tradition clean look of the Aquanaut dial and case..

.. To adjust the 2nd time zone, it will be using the stylus style....

Aquanaut Annual Calendar Extra-Thin....^^^...

Kinda meh, no date is ok though

SC11 · 15 June 2018, 04:10 AM

Love the clean and simple no date, or for me the 5167 but with a sub dial date wheel at 6 as per the 5164 rather then the date window.

GB-man · 15 June 2018, 04:14 AM

No date looks great as it does on almost every watch ever made

The rest I’m not fond of. Also putting the date in that location at that size would require a significant reworking of the movement which I doubt Patek is up for given their tendency to use the same movements forever.

RHIII · 15 June 2018, 06:34 AM

Love the ND option - as I’m fond of ND references across the board— love the clean look of the dial and the symmetry it brings.

I’ll pass on the rest.

Really wish the no date option was a reality. Really loving the look.

c007 · 15 June 2018, 07:45 AM

Come to think of it the no date option would be a killer watch.

CamSLC · 15 June 2018, 07:49 AM

That cool. Fun to mess with that kind of stuff. I like your travel time mockup quite a bit.

AK797 · 15 June 2018, 08:01 AM

I like the ND but the 3 will be the same size as the other numerals right?

watchtabs · 15 June 2018, 08:31 AM

I like the 5167 mock-up. I would rather pull the crown once and move the main hand vs the “pac man” pushers.

If it had no date I might have kept it... and if the clasp was better.

sensui · 15 June 2018, 08:49 AM

The no date may sway me toward an aquanaut. Cool concepts.

The annual calendar does not need a leap year indicator as well

lapince · 15 June 2018, 08:53 AM

The no date is pretty cool, for the others it's good you're not in charge of designs at Patek

but nice try

watchtabs · 15 June 2018, 09:33 AM

I like the idea of a no-pusher travel time.

Think of it as the functionality on a Rolex GMT. You pull the crown and adjust the local hour and the ref hour moves when you pull the crown 2 clicks.

Masterful.

Thanks guys & glad you guys are enjoying the pictures..

.....^^^.....

I knew the Aquanaut No-date will be the favorite among here....

Next I think some people will like the new Aquanaut Travel Time Extra-Thin due to the easy read date window since a lot of people complaint about the 5164 sub dial date wheel is hard to read.....

According to the article here it say..^^^... It take 9 months to manufacture a Patek Philippe watch......

That why I give them 9 months to rework the movement....

lol...... Took me only half-hour to designs it......

If they hire me they will save a lot of money because some of the Patek watch took over a year to designs......

tyler1980 · 15 June 2018, 03:42 PM

no date i like. The rest IMO are not as nice as the existing watches so i would not be a buyer.

christianj · 15 June 2018, 10:28 PM

Sorry but not a fan of the date window at 6 o'clock.

Abdullasaif · 16 June 2018, 09:07 PM

Would pass on all except the no date
