The $100,000 Aquanaut.....Is this too much?
Avi & Co has listed a khaki 5168 for $96,040. I'm sorry, but nothing about that watch other than random hype is worth 100k. What do you think?

Personally I’m not a fan of the green. So I find it hard to stomach at that price indeed.

Chrono24 got few 5168G-010s listed for around £ 80K. The average list price for a 5168G-001 is around £ 55k and I am surprised that 5168G-010 commanding such a high premium over the 5168G-001

Too much for me, but I'm sure it will be sold very soon. This is quite a good looker.

Interesting... The green one is certainly special (for better or worse) whereas the blue one is IMHO a less desirable but more expensive alternative to the 5167A or blue 5711. First and foremost a great way for Patek to generate some extra cash - pay a little more and you can have your Patek sports watch a little quicker (if you don't mind the size and the white gold).

It won’t reach that actual value in resale for some time, so if you can’t afford it as a consumable...

Don't think it will sell for anywhere near that.

I thought that these would be popular (green and the Chinese market etc) but this is insane at 3xRRP (or near enough). And has anyone actually seen one yet (as in for real apart from the models at fairs and trade shows etc? ) I note there are already a few grey dealers listing them on Chrono24 but wonder how many really are out there at present......
Pity it is so in demand as suspect it will be hard to source..... FD. |

Demand is high across the board for both models The greens are only going so hight atm is no one has them, so why not ask what you want, if someone is willing to pay it, then more fool them.. I certainly won't be selling mine : |

Blue is a better color and the 20th anniversary edition. Cant see the green going for 2.5x retail for the long term.
