How are older Aquanauts (5060, 5065, 5066) faring in this current pricing climate for PP stainless steel sports watches?

To me, they remain as ugly as ever.

I tried on a 5066 while in Japan; ugly, small, yuck

Imho undervalued and will eventually head up up up. Could take some time though.

I just bought a 5066 and I like it a lot. But I also wear an OP 34, so what do I know?

The Older Aquanauts are over original retail. And going up!

I expect the older models with automatic movements will continue to go up, albeit slowly. I don't expect the ones with the quartz movement will do as well.

I like the 5167, but I'm pretty short with small wrists and the smaller size of the older aquanauts kind of appeals to me. I actually hope the era of large watches is ending or at least moderating.

See if you can find a 5165a. Shares the updated look of the 5167 but in a noticeably smaller 38mm case. Not easy to find but some are out there. I traded mine to fund another piece last autumn. Wish I hadn’t.

Wife had the 5066 and it was nice for a lady imho.

BTW, a brief PSA here as the early 5167 had a DIFFERENT bracelet/strap lug connection, so if you buy an old / early Patek Aqua then getting a bracelet for the strap version could be a bit more difficult. Forget exactly why, yet at some serial number Patek changed things. Anyone know the SN# change and reason?
