Hello all,

I noticed we don’t ser that much of the 5168G Aquanaut on this forum.
Anyone who has one who can share his toughts about the watch ?

I am really curious about the case thickness with the 42mm case, i wonder if it does’nt look too thin on the wrist ? Anyone with this watch who can show a good picture of the side of this watch on the wrist ?

Thanks !

Cheers

They are few and far between. Not a lot of them in circulation so just don’t see them. I think the watch is stunning and love the dial. I have a big wrist so for me 42.2mm will fit just fine. I look forward to see if anyone here has one and can post some pics.

Not mine, but I’ve tried it on. Very nice and well proportioned. Need good lighting to see the dial at its best though.

It's nice but the blue is a little darker a shade than I'd like. Also does wear big for a PP and felt a bit Rolexy on me.

Stunner wow.

Victorx88x · 2 July 2018, 11:19 AM

Here some pic.

Patek sure fooled me. I thought these would be widely available by now. Boy did they ever flip the script.

Love the blue dial

Had the opportunity to buy one a year ago, and tried it on in Geneva. The dial is quite nice, though it's a bit darker as some have mentioned. I'm not a huge fan of the case profile, it's a bit too big diameter wise for its profile IMO, and it suffers from the small movement trapped in a large case syndrome.

I'd be a fan if they made a 5167G with the same dial.

Really wish this was more widely available. Finally a sporty patek that would actually fit me.

Wow, Nice watch

By any chance will the blue strap on the 5168 fits on the 5167, even though its 1Mm wider??

It is confirmed that the 5650 blue strap fits on the 5164 but not on the 5167A, even the blue strap on the 5168 does not fit on the 5167A, because its 1MM wider than the 5167A, thats what i have been told

Might have seen a pic of the 5164A with the blue strap then i think.

No one with a nice side wrist shot to show the tickness of the case ?

Great ! Thanks.
from your first pic it doesn't look that flat :)

Hairdude1 · 10 July 2018, 06:32 AM

I would love to own one

Descro · 10 July 2018, 07:54 PM

Taken to replace the 5167 ...
Wonderful watch! Dimensions and weight much more rewarding than the steel version!

Hermann · 1 September 2018, 02:20 AM

Hello my friends,
I have a few questions.
Some time ago I had a 5167, but it did not really find its way on my hand ... for whatever reason.
But I would like to have a Aquanaut in my collection, so I want to buy this noble version.
How is the clock in the altag?
How tall are your arms?

My only concern is that the clock could be too big?

I had the watch a long time ago on my wrist, but I don’t take a look how it looks without a shirt.

Codik · 11 September 2018, 10:31 PM

An absolute beauty!

mps354 · 13 September 2018, 10:23 PM

I like it except for the size. If it fits you, I think it’s a great option

V25V · 14 September 2018, 12:21 AM

Love it, would love to have one.
