if you like it i would buy it. You haven't even told us that part and IMO thats the important part. I wouldn't get into watch speculating/flipping if you are not knowledgable on the brand.

My AD had one of these in but I find the bracelet rather unattractive so didn’t buy it, on a rubber strap it would be more tempting.

All men's nautilus and aquanaut are hard to come by

[tyler1980]

are you asking if you should buy it because its hard to get

Yes, its hard to get but personally id rather have a 5164

Same here. An Aquanaut in a bracelet? Not my cup of tea. Should be in a rubber strap.

Nice to see that 5164a is gaining more respect. And glad to see also new complication for the Aquanaut.

Buy it then flip it for big profit - that's what most people do

yup

I like the date and time only 5167 and I will highly recommend the aquanaut, be it rubber strap or bracelet. They are difficult to come by nowadays. You are lucky that it is available and if price is right, I will buy it immediately

whats a typical price flexibility on Patek in general?

[AK797]

It's really a grey dial most of time except in low light when it goes black, if that makes any difference. That's a tough one to let go.

[tubojunk]

Typically no flexibility on this one.

[dchang81]

Aquanaut isn’t really a big profit flip. I’d get it if you want it but really the market for it isn’t nearly like the 5711. After taxes you probably will break even or make maybe a grand tops. But if you like it then it’s a no brainer.

[rolexbrand]

A nice Patek like that is really rare and hard to find thats my thought on this

[madsklz]

Love the aquanaut

Mine looks brownish

I did not notice the brownish on my aquanaut. Interesting.

what is the context as im curious... they had an aquanaut but it wasn't available. They previously had a daytona and a SS sky dweller .. and you bought a SD 43 and a Hulk.

Seems to me if you had your choice of those watches that the Patek should be available to you too as this seems like VIP stock, not walk in customer stock. Or is this not an AD? You really shouldn't have any trouble sourcing the aquanaut if you have a good relationship with your AD so i would still push for the aquanaut (whichever version you like the best).

you would be correct but unfortunately i am not a customer of gearys nor patek...i came across the aquanaut visting patek it was on showcase not "hidden"
