New Aquanaut ref 5168G blue dial

[OpenYourEyes]

Ive placed my order for the 5168g. This is the Geneva salon so I'm hoping I'm one of the first ones to get it.

I was wanting to buy an aquanaut, decided to wait till Basel. Good news; white gold-blue dial = fabulous.. bad news; 42mm. Still not too bad.

The 5650 IS limited to 500 pieces.

Correct?

Correct

That 5650 video on quill and pad is bloody nice

Agree on the 5650G that one will go quickly.

I'm assuming all 500 are already spoken for.

This one is a winner. Might just lure me to PP. Beautiful and well executed in my opinion.

Any better "real' pics!??

Think its gonna be a stunner. Wonder how it will wear size wise, maybe 42m aint as bad as it sounds

I think 42mm is going to be great size wise. Looking for wrist shots on IG and other sites.

Check the video out it will show the reflective quality of risk which is gorgeous

Is 5650 an application piece ? My ADs don't know

[mps354]

there is an instagram post that says the 5650G is 40mm...is this correct, or was it upsized like the 5168G?

I think it's awful, can't stand the openworked dial.

..I think at 42 mm too big 4 me and the price pretty eye watering. Nice to see the little things go click when u change zones.

Same here. Patek should never do an open dial!

Blue looks a little more subdued just like the chocolate on the 5167R.

I agree. That openworked part of the dial ruins it for me.

It's like someone took a bite out of the dial. If they had kept it whole--that would have been a killer piece IMHO.

sh*t that's good lookin IMO. Love the darker hues of blue. Was afraid it was going to be too bright

Yeah but it's an anniversary piece...without the shark bite...the only alternative was embossing .....we don't want to go down that path again!!

Hey I like that nickname for it...'SharkBite'.

[cervantes]

42? with the small movement and thin size of the case?

[ELITEVIDEOGAMES]

Wow this is really nice, just seeing this now as I was all caught up on the Rolex releases.
I think this will sell like hot cakes.

My thoughts as well.

At 40mm I think I would have been very tempted.

I'd need to see it, but also not a fan of the openworked dial. I think I prefer the tombstone dial over that.
